Kumon Australia & New Zealand

Kumon’s mission is to develop children’s potential and foster sound, capable individuals who can independently carve out a path for themselves in life. We achieve this through our individualised approach to learning, where students are always given the worksheets they are ready to learn next, as determined by completion time, accuracy, ability to correct mistakes, and motivation. Students who need to build on foundational concepts are supported. Students who can be challenged by more complex work are extended. When students advance ahead of school grade level in the worksheets, they learn for themselves what they are yet to be taught at school. When they encounter something new, they study the example, draw on previous learning and give it a try. They continue to try, sometimes with a hint from the Instructor, until they learn by themselves. This is how Kumon develops self-learning skills and helps children to realise their potential. Ramahl, 15 years old, is a former Kumon student from New Zealand. He started Kumon by revising the basics of mathematics and reading, before eventually pursuing advanced study that was more than five years ahead of his school grade. Now, in school, Ramahl is studying Year 12 and 13 mathematics (Year 11 and 12 in Australia) despite only being in Year 11 (Year 10 in Australia), and studies both Year 12 English (Year 11 in Australia) and New Zealand Scholarship English – a university-level extension course. Ramahl embraces challenges. He attributes this attitude to his prior Kumon study. “I think Kumon sets you up with the confidence to take on challenges. Not just in mathematics and reading, but in my case, studying science, doing drama, learning Māori, taking up cultural groups and service groups, because setting up a strong foundation is what allows you to take up extra things in life,” Ramahl says. “I know I'm doing the best I can; I know I'm taking on the most advanced classes I can. I think Kumon sets you up on a different trajectory for life, knowing that different pathways are open and available. It’s a domino effect that helps you understand where you can end up and what you can do.” Ramahl’s story is one of many which demonstrates impact of the Kumon Method on the lives of each individual student. Through their instruction and guidance of students, Kumon franchisees create positive change for each student’s education and realise their potential.
