Gakken Kyoiku Holdings (Shinagawa, Tokyo / President: Tetsuya Katsuno), a group company of Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd. (Shinagawa, Tokyo / President: Hiroaki Miyahara), will open a new online campus, "Gakken Base," on April 1, 2026, for students of Gakken High School Academy and Gakken High School Academy Junior High Division.
This initiative aims to connect Gakken High School Academy campuses nationwide online, fostering new relationships among students and with faculty. While valuing face-to-face learning, we will leverage online tools to provide more diverse and flexible learning opportunities.
■ A New Place of Learning Connecting Students Nationwide
Gakken Base will function as "another campus" where students of Gakken High School Academy and its Junior High Division can gather across grades and regions.
Online, we will offer a variety of learning content, including classes, self-study, counseling, information dissemination, and committee activities, allowing each student to participate based on their interests and learning status.
Furthermore, by having staff from all national campuses participate in the same space, we will increase the number of adults involved with students, building a more multifaceted support system.
Through this content, we will promote students' independent learning and interaction.
■ Main Content and Features
At Gakken Base, we plan to implement the following initiatives:
・Online classes (subject-based, theme-based inquiry, club-style)
・Self-study rooms (support for forming study habits)
・Online consultation booths for career and life counseling
・Utilization of e-books through the Gakken Junior Library
・Student-led committee activities and online general assemblies
・Information dissemination on careers and learning
■ Future Outlook
Gakken Base is positioned as a "sub-campus" that expands the value of our physical campus operations, which remain our foundation.
Moving forward, we will also consider courses utilizing the Gakken Group's educational resources and collaborative projects with external partners, as we proceed with building a hybrid educational model that combines online and in-person learning.
