Announcement of the Opening of Gakken High School and Gakken Junior High School Online Campus "Gakken Base"

Gakken Education Holdings, a group company of Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd. (Shinagawa, Tokyo / Representative Director and President: Hiroaki Miyahara), will open "Gakken Base," a new online campus for students of Gakken High School and Gakken Junior High School, on April 1, 2026. This initiative aims to connect Gakken High School campuses nationwide online, fostering new relationships between students and teachers. While cherishing face-to-face learning, the use of online resources will enable the provision of more diverse and flexible learning opportunities.

### A New Learning Place Where Students Nationwide Connect

Gakken Base functions as "another campus" where students of Gakken High School and Gakken Junior High School can gather beyond grade levels and regions. Online, various learning contents such as classes, self-study, consultations, information dissemination, and committee activities are provided, allowing students to participate according to their individual interests and learning situations. Furthermore, by having staff from campuses nationwide participate in the same space, the number of adults involved with students will increase, establishing a more multifaceted support system.

### Main Content Functions

Gakken Base plans the following initiatives:

- Online classes (subject-based, theme-exploration, club-style) - Self-study room (support for forming study habits) - Online consultation booths for career guidance and life advice - Utilization of e-books through Gakken Junior Library - Student-led committee activities and online general assemblies - Dissemination of information regarding career paths and studies

Through these contents, we will promote students' proactive learning and interaction.

### Future Outlook

Gakken Base is positioned as a "sub-campus" that expands the value of traditional in-person campus operations. In the future, we will continue to build a hybrid educational model that combines online and offline learning, including courses utilizing Gakken Group's educational resources and collaborative projects with external partners.
