SAMURAI Entrepreneur Club launches its first pilot club

The SAMURAI Foundation (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kentaro Sakakibara) will launch the first club activity of its extracurricular entrepreneurship education program, 'SAMURAI Entrepreneur Club,' for 5th and 6th graders at AICJ International School Kyoto (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto) on June 11, 2026 (Thursday). This year, the foundation plans to launch pilot clubs at 4 to 6 locations, with this being the first. Based on the foundation's implementation philosophy of 'Dream big, start small, and build a solid model,' this marks the first step toward a 50-year vision of establishing 2,000 clubs nationwide. AICJ International School Kyoto practices inquiry-based learning based on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme, which strongly resonates with the foundation's educational philosophy. The program will be provided free of charge, held on Thursday afternoons for a total of 14 sessions.
