Rikkyo Ikebukuro Junior and Senior High School (立教池袋中学校・高等学校) is private boys' junior and senior high school in Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo.
History
[edit]Bishop Channing Moore Williams established Rikkyo Junior High School in Tsukiji, Tokyo in 1896. The original building was destroyed by the Great Kantō earthquake, so a new building in Ikebukuro opened in 1923. The school was re-established in the post-World War II period in 1948.
The school was renamed Rikkyo Ikebukuro Junior High School in 2000, and in the same year its senior high school division was established.[1]
