Tailored, Positive Guidance, and Warm Companionship — KUMON Cultivates Children’s Self-Learning Abilities to Face the Future
Last year, the 108 National Curriculum Guidelines officially rolled out, focusing on literacy, self-learning abilities, and real-life integration. At the heart of this transformation, KUMON has been a global leader in practice for 62 years, continuously nurturing countless future talents!
Originating in Japan, KUMON has accumulated 62 years of experience. The founder of the Kon Wen Cultural and Educational Foundation, Tsai Hsueh-ni, introduced KUMON to Taiwan 42 years ago. In 2017, Kon Mon Cultural Company officially promoted the KUMON educational philosophy under the brand name "KUMON." Zhao Wen-yu, Chairman of Kon Mon Cultural Company, shared that her mother, Tsai Hsueh-ni, visited Japan’s KUMON and was astonished to see young children already learning middle school algebra, which led her to introduce the method to Taiwan. Tsai Hsueh-ni herself became the first "KUMON baby"!
KUMON helps children build a strong foundation starting at the age of three. Through a gradual learning process, it nurtures abilities such as attitude, perseverance, and self-learning, ultimately achieving academic results that “surpass their grade level.” With this “surplus energy,” children have more time and opportunities to explore themselves, develop diverse interests, and dare to dream. Among the students nurtured by KUMON, there are many who have crossed boundaries, pursuing careers as doctors, writers, and other multifaceted talents, living a "slash life."
Small-Stage Materials Guide Students to Surpass Their Grade Level
The two key elements of KUMON’s educational success are its materials and its instructors. KUMON’s materials cover content from early childhood to university level. The key feature is the “small-stage, step-by-step learning materials,” which break down learning topics to the most basic level, arranging them from simple to complex. This method guides children to independently learn and study, surpassing their grade level, and achieving educational goals in subjects such as Chinese (developing reading skills), English (enhancing reading and comprehension abilities), and Math (developing high-level calculation skills).
