The Kumon Method aims for students to go beyond their school grade level through self-learning and advance to studying high school level material at an early age.
When studying at the “just-right” level students think for themselves and complete the exercises. When they get stuck they look at the hints and examples incorporated in the worksheets and figure out themselves how to do the exercises. In this way, continued study at the “just-right” level fosters the ability to learn on their own, or as we say at Kumon, “self-learn.”
Students then use that self-learning ability to advance independently beyond their school grade level to higher levels and more difficult exercises.
Thus Kumon study makes it possible for students to advance to high school level material at an early age.
To sum up, the Kumon Method is a learning method that pursues the potential of each individual student and develops his or her ability to the maximum.
We at Kumon believe in the vast potential of our students and want to further develop each student’s ability. Born out of the bond between a parent and child, the Kumon Method of learning faithfully carries on the thinking and ideas of its founder Toru Kumon. At the same time, we constantly strive for something better by continuing to develop our worksheets and instruction method. And today, this learning method continues to go beyond the borders of countries, race, culture and traditions,
to reach more and more countries and regions throughout the world.
