The [[Society of Jesus]] had opened [[Sophia University]] in 1913. Its next educational venture was Rokko middle school in 1937. With the completion of a wooden building it was named Rokko Junior High School in 1938. It accepted 12-year-olds for a 5-year program leading to the secondary school degree. There were 15 on the staff and 135 first-year pupils in 1938. The Hansen [[List of floods#1930s|flood in 1938]] damaged the building and grounds. In 1941 a four-story reinforced concrete building was completed. |

Amidst the war crisis of 1945, in April classes were interrupted but students were encouraged to study privately. The school was damaged by an air raid that hit Kobe University. The war ended on August 13 and classes resumed in September. The following years saw numerous adjustments in the junior/middle school program. The school continues to follow the seven-year, pre-[[World War II]] system.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2017-06-18|title=旧制中等教育学校の一覧 (兵庫県)|url=https://ja.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=%E6%97%A7%E5%88%B6%E4%B8%AD%E7%AD%89%E6%95%99%E8%82%B2%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7_(%E5%85%B5%E5%BA%AB%E7%9C%8C)&oldid=64492205|journal=Wikipedia|language=ja}}</ref> |

In April 2016 five Jesuit academies joined into a new corporation, called the Sophia Academy Corporation, to consolidate their efforts and strengthen their Jesuit identity, as through common teacher training. The corporation is centered at Sophia University, which will lend its assistance to the schools. In this way, with the declining number of Jesuits, the Jesuit influence is more likely to endure.
