Quoting from the cited webpage:
The green of the above school flag represents the green pine trees that are found throughout the campus. The letters SW stand for SOUTHWEST, which is what SEINAN means in Japanese.
And "Gakuin" means "school." See photo at

[1200 x 600 px] - where the green seems much darker than the square graphic,
though it could just be a matter of lighting.

The university flag has dark green background with a white emblem in the center.
The design of the university emblem is a combination of the first two letters of Seinan="South-West" (S and W). It was designed by C.K. Dozier, the founder of the school, in the early days of the school.

Is that monogram supposed to read "WS"?
António Martins-Tuválkin, 30 October 2023
Yes, WS means West-South (=Seinan in Japanese university name).
