The earthquake resistance rate is calculated using the following method based on the Japan Private School Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation's Survey of Private School Buildings.

Total total floor area of buildings that fall under 1.) or 2.) (numerator) / Total total floor area of facilities subject to the "Survey of Facts" (denominator)

1. Buildings built on or after June 1, 1981
2. Among buildings that were newly constructed before May 31, 1981, buildings that have undergone seismic diagnosis and have earthquake resistance performance or have been seismically reinforced.

Regarding earthquake resistance of facilities

Regarding future earthquake resistance plans, it is planned to achieve 100% earthquake resistance by Reiwa 5.
