WAYS, a cram school for integrated school students, begins accepting applications for 2026 summer courses

## Applications Open for 2026 Summer Courses

WAYS, a specialized individual guidance cram school for integrated junior and senior high school students (operated by Mates Co., Ltd.; Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), has begun accepting applications for its 2026 summer courses. Concurrently, it is launching a 'Summer Vacation Support Campaign' until June 3, 2026 (Wed), where course fees can be discounted by up to 23,000 yen depending on the number of sessions taken.

The courses are for students from the first year of junior high school through the third year of senior high school attending integrated schools and are available at all 35 classrooms in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Aichi, and Nara.

## Why Summer is Crucial for Integrated School Students

Integrated schools tend to have a faster curriculum pace compared to public schools due to unique curricula that do not use standard textbooks and accelerated learning. The summer vacation, when school is out, is a valuable period to review the first term's material and solidify foundations in weak areas. Furthermore, many integrated schools conduct practical or assignment tests after summer vacation, which significantly impact students' grades for the new term.

WAYS offers summer courses tailored to the learning characteristics of these students.

## Five Guidance Menus for '2026 WAYS Summer Courses'

WAYS summer courses are 120 minutes per session. Students can combine the following curricula:

- **WAYS Core Curriculum (English/Math)**: A unique curriculum focusing on essential English and Math topics, including dedicated test exercises.
- **Homework Support**: Working through the heavy volume of homework unique to integrated schools with instructors.
- **Review of Weak Areas**: Repeated exercises starting from simple problems for material missed during the first term.
- **Post-Summer Test Prep**: Customized preparation based on the school's test range and difficulty.
- **Accelerated Learning for Next Term**: Preparing for the basics of English and Math topics to be taught in the next term.
