Surugadai University (駿河台大学 Surugadai daigaku?) is a private university in Hannō, Saitama, Japan, established in 1987. Aiming to produce people who can contribute to today's internationalized, information-oriented society, the university places emphasis on thorough small-class teaching, foreign language education, acquisition of rich computer skills, and preparation for certifying examinations.
Surugadai University was founded by Haruyuki Yamazaki (山崎春之?) (1926-2010). His father, Toshiharu Yamazaki (山崎寿春?), was one of the early Japanese students studying abroad in the Meiji period. He was accomplished as a Harvard- and Yale-trained scholar of English literature and a professor of Meiji University. Toshiharu successfully established a cram school for high school students and had a lifelong dream of establishing an American-style liberal arts college in Japan.
