[[Matsudaira Sadanobu]] was appointed head of the ''[[roju|rôjû]]'' in [[1787]]. He brought the school under the direct control of the shogunate, rebuilt and expanded the school buildings, and made it a site for the training of shogunate and domain officials. It was at this time that the school was officially named "Shôheizaka gakumonjo."
