The franchisee will operate an after-school center that provides math and reading programs using the Kumon Method of learning (“Kumon Center”). Children are given the opportunity to attend Kumon Centers twice each week throughout the year for approximately 20-30 minutes per subject and complete daily assignments at home on non-Center days.
In 1954, Toru Kumon developed the Kumon Method in Japan. Mr. Kumon was a Japanese high school math teacher and created a supplemental math program for his son, who was struggling with second grade math. Mr. Kumon’s method was so successful that his son reached calculus by the sixth grade. This then turned into an international business and currently Mr. Tanabe was appointed President and has been a member of Kumon’s Board of Directors in October 2013.
As of December 31, 2019, approximately 4,200,000 students were studying the Kumon Method in approximately 25,000 after-school Centers in 58 countries. In North America, there were approximately 405,000 students studying it. We operated 21 company-owned Kumon Centers, and there were 1,547 franchised Kumon Centers.
