About Gakken Classroom

Gakken Classroom fosters abilities and skills essential for the coming age

The Gakken Classroom brand was created in 1980 with the ardent desire to help children gain self-confidence and experience the joy of learning. Gakken Classroom currently has over 15,000 learning centers with over 420,000 members learning at them. In the face of the changing demands for education and in response to a wave of requests from abroad, we also expanded overseas in 2014.
Seeking education which suits the coming age, people around the world call for education
which focuses not just on visible skills such as test scores, but which fosters invisible skills which cannot be measured with numbers, such as logical thinking skills, zest for living, learning motivation, learning attitude and morals. Technological development and globalization offer us new opportunities. On the other hand, the fast-paced changes come with uncertainty. In the coming age, we will need invisible skills such as logical thinking skills, problem-solving skills and concentration more than ever.

Our Philosophy

Gakken Classroom fosters the ability to succeed in the world as an adult and to have the correct, beautiful, and sincere attitude and mind of an upstanding member of global society.

In order to assure that the children experience the joy of learning and gain self-confidence, the learning pace is customized according to each child’s ability. This allows solid acquisition of academic abilities. The skills and confidence they acquire through active learning will later become valuable life skills for them.

Visible and Invisible Skills

Visible and Invisible Skills

At Gakken Classroom, the children learn much more than just how to get the correct answer. Through correcting their own mistakes through trial and error, they develop perseverance, concentration and resilience, which leads to mental endurance and the ability to adapt to the situation. They learn self-control and teamwork by strictly adhering to the Gakken Classroom rules as they conduct their learning activities. These invisible skills are said to stay with you forever once you have acquired them and contribute directly toward success as an adult. To foster the skills needed to succeed in our rapidly changing world, Gakken Classroom aims to provide the children with a balance of both visible and invisible skills.

What are the non-cognitive skills getting attention from around the world?

Cognitive skills (Visible skills) are skills that can be measured with numbers;
in a word, they are measured according to outcomes. In contrast, non-cognitive skills (Invisible skills) cannot be captured through numbers and are important not for the outcome itself but for the process of getting there. They are a set of skills which can enrich the future of children.
Included among the non-cognitive skills are concentration, perseverance,
confidence, self-esteem, leadership, self-initiative, social competence, empathy, and the list goes on. To sum them up in a word, you might call them “human qualities” or “living skills.”
It is possible to build non-cognitive skills as an adult, but it is widely believed that they are most subject to growth up to around 10 years of age. Thanks to these new insights, non-cognitive skills are gathering more and more attention from around the world.

Self-Learning Skills

Self-Learning Skills

The importance of some things does not change with time For the “lifetime driving force” of the children Gakken Classroom’s secret to imparting “self-learning skills” is learning worksheets and learning methods designed so the children can learn persistently and by their own will, along with “Sensei” to watch over their learning efforts.

Learning Worksheets

By learning the thinking process behind problem solving and based on the core academic abilities, children will acquire logical thinking skills along with the abilities to adapt and apply their knowledge to real problems.

The “Guide Boxes” allow the children to get the points of the content because of their easy-to-understand explanations.

The exercise problems connect with the Guide Boxes to solidify the children’s understanding of the content.

Learning Methods

A system for engaged learning where children read through the text, think about it, and solve each problem all on their own, at their own pace.

Learning worksheets which are matched to each individual’s learning progress and which focus not on “getting the correct answers” but on “understanding.”

Gakken Classroom's Sensei

The role of the “Sensei” is not limited to helping the children improve their academic abilities (visible skills), but is also to help them acquire a balanced skill set including invisible skills such as concentration, grit and motivation. Gakken Classroom’s “Sensei” are masters of giving hints, not answers. Gakken Classroom’s Sensei don’t just teach maths, but the processes behind problem solving. With our individualized guidance, customized according to their learning progress, children learn at their own pace. This is hard to achieve with group-oriented teaching. Children learn to find solutions on their own.

Tokuiku

Gakken Classroom helps children become responsible members of society who are conscientious of and can empathize with others

Gakken Classroom nurtures not just academic abilities but also the morals which are the basis for independent individuals who can live cooperative and full lives. We believe that being able to do the common sense things we tend to neglect, working little by little each day towards a goal and manners and conscientiousness toward others will be useful in a variety of situations in the children’s future. Our focus is not merely on being able to get a 100 (i.e. to get the correct answers), but on the invisible skills needed to work at a task persistently and deliberately until its completion.

What is Tokuiku?

Tokuiku Tokuiku refers to the “character formation aimed at the development of qualities which satisfy the ideals held by society in individuals.” It serves as the foundation for any education which aims to raise individuals who possess a balance of knowledge, morals, and body.

Founder's Message

Gakken is a publishing company, so its role only goes so far as creating books and putting them on display in stores. It has no way of knowing what happens when the customers read them. However, a classroom doesn’t end with the creation of learning materials, it begins with the use of the materials. Wherever that is becomes a site of education, contributes to the children’s learning, and becomes an integral place in their everyday lives, just like their home and their school. Gakken Classroom joins local communities and serves as a place where Sensei* and child, where child and child, where Sensei and parental guardian, where people meet and learn about one another. The passion and spirit for education of our founder Hideto Furuoka lives on at Gakken Classroom. * In Japan, a teacher is called “Sensei.” Sensei teaches not only subjects, but also rules and manners.

Customers Voice

I love studying at Gakken Classroom! I am no longer afraid of Math. Because I have been able to review my knowledge, my grades last semester were higher. With new math problems, even if I cannot get 100 points on the first try, I can still continue to try again until I understand the lesson. In addition to learning math, I also learn a new learning method and new skills. At first, I was not used to studying by myself, reading aloud and underlining when doing exercises at Gakken Classroom, but now I find that doing so helps me study more focused and effectively. I can completely study at home. I can participate in classes with my older siblings and younger siblings. I love studying and also enjoy cleaning the classroom. Con được tham gia lớp học cùng với các anh chị và cả các em nhỏ tuổi hơn con. Con thấy yêu thích việc học và thích cả việc dọn dẹp lớp học.
