New Era of Learning: 'Corekara KIDS' Programming School to Foster Programming Thinking Opens in Center Kita, Yokohama in April 2026

Corekara KIDS, a programming school with 19 locations nationwide and approximately 1,000 students, is expanding its reach with new openings across Japan.

Operated by Corekara Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku, Tokyo; CEO: Yusuke Imaizumi), the school for elementary and junior high school students continues to open new branches nationwide.

The secret to its growth lies in its unique curriculum, which is meticulously designed to be 'fun and engaging.'

When it first launched in 2019, the school experienced a period of slow growth, with only about 20 students in the first year.

However, in 2020, the company returned to its core principle: 'What kind of learning makes children want to do it?' and completely revamped its curriculum.

This marked a significant shift from 'learning that is forced' to 'learning that feels like play, and before you know it, you're absorbed in it.'

As a result, children developed a proactive attitude towards learning while enjoying themselves, surpassing 100 students in just one year. The school has since grown and continues to expand nationwide.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming opening of our new Center Kita branch in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, in early April.

Yokohama City is known as a popular area for families, with numerous large commercial facilities and parks. In recent years, there has been a continuous influx of families with children, leading to increased interest in education and a growing focus on programming education as an extracurricular activity.

Against this backdrop, 'Corekara KIDS,' a programming school where 'liking turns into learning,' has newly opened in Center Kita, Yokohama City. We are currently accepting applications for trial lessons.

Even for children new to programming, they can develop 'thinking skills' and 'creativity' while learning in a fun, game-like environment.

■ Background of Opening (Market Trends)

Programming education became mandatory in elementary schools starting in the 2020 academic year, and interest in IT education for children has been growing year by year. The goal is not merely to acquire computer skills but importantly to foster 'programming thinking.'

Programming thinking refers to the ability to organize things sequentially, repeat trial and error, and derive optimal solutions. Such skills are gaining attention as fundamental abilities required not only in the IT field but in all fields in the future.

Furthermore, with the expanding demand for AI and digital talent, the importance of education that cultivates 'thinking skills' and 'problem-solving abilities' is widely recognized.

We receive strong support from parents who say:

'I want my child to start an extracurricular activity.'

'I want them to acquire skills useful for their future.'

While programming education has spread nationwide in recent years,

'the choice of classroom is becoming increasingly important.'

At Corekara KIDS, we leverage the curriculum and teaching know-how cultivated in our directly managed schools to create a learning environment that children can enjoy and continue.

Furthermore,

'I'm worried they won't stick with it.'

'I'm concerned they won't be able to keep up since it's their first time.'

To address these concerns, we provide attentive support tailored to each child.

＼ Please feel free to experience a trial lesson!／
