ABOUT KUMON

Building Independent Learners for Life

Who We Are

More Than Learning. A Foundation for Life.

Kumon began with a father's desire to help his son develop stronger math skills. Today, our proven learning method helps children build strong academic skills, confidence, focus, and the ability to become independent learners for life.

Our History

Where It All Started

In 1954, Toru Kumon, a Japanese mathematics teacher and father, created the Kumon Method after looking for a way to help his son strengthen his math skills.

Instead of simply teaching his son how to solve individual problems, he created daily exercises that encouraged his son to discover solutions independently. This small idea became the foundation of an educational method used by students around the world.
