Kumon is the world’s largest after-school math and reading program! Kumon Students progress independently through a carefully crafted, worksheet-based math and reading curriculum. Kumon is a structured, proven self-learning program that gives your child the critical thinking skills and mindset to learn new materials independently. The key to Kumon Programs is individualized instruction, carefully planned by an instructor and practiced daily at home, in the center, or at school. Regardless of academic level, your child will progress through the individualized instruction at his or her own pace, advancing step by logical step in just 30 minutes per day, per subject. The fundamentals instilled by Kumon over time lead to accelerated learning throughout life. Kumon parents find their children performing above grade level, which increases educational opportunities and can open up a new world of advanced and gifted schooling.
