ABOUT KUMON

The advocacy of Kumon is the result of serious thought about what is important to children, about what will be useful to children in the future, and about how to better contribute to the lives of children. At Kumon, we believe in the potential of each child, and our mission is to help all children acquire basic academic skills and become independent learners.

To enable growing minds to achieve their full potential, we believe:

• People learn best when they study materials suited to their individual abilities.
• Our Method of Learning should be made available to as many growing minds as possible.
• Advancing and perfecting our Method of Learning is an integral part of our mission.
• Our Method of Learning is universal and has unlimited applications.
• Solid teamwork among Instructors and Staff is the key to our mutual growth.
• Our success is built on results and satisfied customers.

The Kumon curriculum presents Math and Reading concepts in small increments, providing ample practice for each step. This method of individualized study encourages independent learning, and gives students the knowledge and skills to succeed on their own.

Kumon is not a tutoring program.

•  Kumon study is self-directed, and proceeds at each student’s
  own pace

• Students don’t learn from textbooks, but with ability-matched
  Kumon Worksheets

• Kumon Instructors don’t lecture or tutor—they guide and motivate

Kumon's exclusive focus is on Math and Reading.

• The two most important subjects in school

• The foundation for future academic success

Kumon's emphasis is on helping students first master the basics — the fundamental building blocks of math and reading — from preschool up to college.

The Kumon Method is equally effective as a remedial or enrichment program

• Helps remedial students recover missing skills

• Helps students advance beyond current school grade (advanced study)

• Helps all students reach their full potential and remain challenged

Kumon is a unique, individualized method that fosters solid study habits, learning skills, and confidence.
