◼︎Message from the Head of Kono Juku

"To dominate the education world." This is the goal Kono Juku aims for.

To make "Kono Juku" the first name that comes to mind when people hear "university entrance exam prep school." We are seriously aiming for such a game-change in the education industry.

This year too, many students challenged themselves wholeheartedly towards their goal of passing their desired university exams. These results are not just numbers; they are proof of the efforts each individual has accumulated.

What Kono Juku values is not just teaching knowledge, but guiding students to build their way of thinking, attitude, and determination together. No matter how many excellent teaching materials or information are available, the essence remains unchanged. We believe that students can truly grow only in an environment where they can seriously face challenges under the right strategy.

Next year, we will continue to wholeheartedly support all students aiming to pass their desired university exams.
