■ Background for Launch
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Integrated junior and senior high schools have a very fast pace of study from immediately after enrollment, leading to a tendency for academic differences to emerge in a short period. Many cases arise where students fall behind in understanding English and Math while thinking 'I'm just in 1st year of junior high,' which significantly impacts their subsequent studies. Furthermore, there is the reality that solely learning according to the school's pace makes it difficult to foster sufficient academic ability to cope with university entrance exams.
Based on this background, Iena Academy has developed a program that solidifies the foundations through rapid learning and connects them to further advanced studies, based on the philosophy that 'the first year of junior high school 1st grade determines the future.' By starting university entrance exam preparation from an early stage, students can significantly broaden their future options.

■ Reasons for Choosing Iena Academy
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
① Optimal Course Design Tailored to Each Individual
From students aiming for prestigious universities to those who wish to steadily improve their academic abilities in line with their school's pace, we analyze each student's goals and current status through consultations and propose the most suitable course. We provide individually optimized learning designs, not uniform instruction.
② Hybrid Learning Combining Classroom, Online, and Video Lessons
We adopt a hybrid learning approach that combines face-to-face classes, online learning, video lessons, and individual support. By using video lessons for pre-study and concentrating on practice and comprehension checks in class—a 'flipped classroom' approach—we balance efficient learning with securing sufficient practice time.
③ High-Quality Learning Environment Through Small Class Sizes
Students can grow while stimulating each other in an environment populated by motivated learners. Small class sizes enable meticulous instruction tailored to individual comprehension levels.
