- What kind of philosophy of you would if it had been opened by.

BLEAを知っている方ですと、高校のイメージが強いと思いますが、2000年に最初に開校したのは専門部です。今年でちょうど10周年ですね。当時は、カリスマ店員が流行っていた時代で、スチュワーデスや医者になる学校があるのなら、ショップ店員になる学校があっても良いのではという発想で、ボクの大学時代の先輩が設立しました。翌年、同じくファッションを学べる高等部が開校し、当時大学生だった僕は、高校生に数学や英語のレポートを教える講師としてアルバイトをさせてもらい、2003年に正式に入社しました。その2年後に4年制の大学部が開校。そして2009年には、中学3年生の女子を対象とする中等部が開校しました。BLEAの生徒の中には元気が良過ぎるというか、一般の学校にはなじめない子もいます。おしゃれには興味があるけど、学校に行かなくなってしまった中学生でも、フリースクールという形でファッションを学んで欲しいと考えたんです。もともと、マルキュウ（渋谷109）で働きたがっている女の子を対象に専門部を開校しましたので、現在のように中等部や大学をつくる考えはありませんでした。しかしいざ始めてみると予想以上に共感してくれる女の子が多くて、ここまで拡大してきました。BLEAとは別に、2005年にUBI大学部、2009年にUBI専門部という学校も設立しています。BLEAは女子校ですが、UBIは共学。もともとギャルには『egg』や『Popteen』といった雑誌が人気でしたが、次第に『men'segg』など「ギャル男」向けの雑誌も伸びてきて、そういう男の子がファッションを学べる学校をつくりたいと考えたことがきっかけ。あえてBLEAとは別の学校にしたのは、「女子校」ということに意味を感じているからですね。現在、BLEAには250人、UBIも含めると350人ほどの生徒が通っています。
