The Kumon’s Objective

As an organisation, Kumon provides supplementary, after-school learning programmes for children. Spread over 60 countries, our learning method aims to foster sound, capable individuals who independently carve out a path for themselves in life.

At Kumon we are dedicated to fully pursuing the potential of each individual student.

Kumon Instructors provide just enough guidance for their students to be able to solve the problems on their own. Our programmes provide students with the ability to advance to high school level material through self-learning as early as possible. Kumon students study independently from an early age and develop both a high level of academic ability and ‘self-learning’ ability. As a result, our students build self-esteem, learn that they can do anything if they try, and develop the ability to take on new challenges for themselves.

After children who have done Kumon grow up, they can think of solutions by themselves even when faced with difficult challenges. The skills that students gain through doing Kumon help them achieve their goals and dreams.

The Kumon Method

At Kumon we believe that the most beneficial thing we can do for children is to furnish them with the ability to advance to high school level material through self-learning as early as possible in life. 

With the Kumon Method, students study independently from an early age and develop both a high level of academic ability and the ability to learn independently, or what we at Kumon refer to as “self-learning” ability.

As a result, after children who have done Kumon grow up and enter the workforce, they are able to think of solutions by themselves even when faced with difficult challenges. All in all, the skills that students gain through doing Kumon go a long way to helping them to achieve their goals and dreams.

The Kumon Method was born from a parent’s love for his child.

When first developing the Kumon Method, its founder, Toru Kumon theorized that as long as his son was able to do maths easily in high school, he would have plenty of time to spend on whatever other pursuits he was interested in. 

So he thought about what he could do at home to help his son gain proficiency in high school maths.

The foundation for Kumon’s individualised approach

With the aim of helping his son gain independence, Toru Kumon prepared his own learning materials and study method. 

He wrote out calculation problems on loose-leaf worksheets and combined them with a self-study method that would enable his son to advance by himself. 

In effect what Toru Kumon did was to create the prototype for Kumon Method education. He had laid the foundation for Kumon’s individualised approach that enables each student to learn in accordance with his or her academic ability, and for Kumon’s pursuit of potential; both of which we continue to place the utmost importance on.
