'Turning Passion into Learning' Programming School 'Korekara KIDS' Born in Higashikurume City, Tokyo
Fostering 'Computational Thinking' Essential for the AI Era. At 'Korekara KIDS,' children can acquire thinking skills, creativity, and computer skills from scratch, developing abilities that will lead to their future.

Korekara KIDS, a programming school with 19 locations nationwide and approximately 1,000 students.
Operated by Korekara Inc. (Shinjuku, Tokyo / CEO: Yusuke Imaizumi), the school for elementary and junior high school students is continuously expanding with new openings across the country.
The secret to its growth lies in its unique teaching materials, which are 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, returning to the fundamental question of 'What kind of learning makes children want to do it?', the teaching materials were completely revamped.
The approach shifted dramatically from 'learning that is forced' to 'learning that feels like play, where children become absorbed without realizing 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 opening of the Higashikurume School in Higashikurume City, Tokyo.


Higashikurume City, located in Tokyo, is an area attractive for its rich nature and calm living environment. It is popular as a bedroom community due to its good access to the city center, making it convenient for commuting and school runs. The city has many parks and green spaces, providing an environment where children can play freely. In terms of education, it features community-based learning and a stable educational environment, offering peace of mind for raising children. Furthermore, its balance of convenience and nature makes it a highly-rated town for families.
Against this backdrop, the programming school 'Korekara KIDS,' which turns 'passion into learning,' has newly opened in Higashikurume City, Tokyo. We are currently accepting applications for trial lessons.
Currently, we are holding a 'Spring Friend Campaign' where parents can win prizes totaling 7,000 yen in Amazon gift cards for children who participate in a trial lesson. We encourage everyone to join!
Even for children new to programming, they can develop 'thinking skills' and 'creativity' while learning in a fun way.
■ Background of Opening (Market Trends)
Programming education became mandatory in elementary schools from the 2020 academic year, and interest in IT education for children is growing year by year. The primary goal is not merely to acquire computer skills but importantly to foster 'computational thinking.'
Computational 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.
In addition, with the expanding demand for AI and digital talent, the importance of education that fosters 'thinking skills' and 'problem-solving abilities' is widely recognized.



We receive strong support from parents who say,
'I want to start some kind of extracurricular activity.'
'I want them to acquire skills that will be useful in the future.'
While programming education has been spreading nationwide in recent years,
'Which school they learn at' is becoming increasingly important.
At Korekara KIDS, based on the teaching materials and instructional know-how cultivated in our directly managed schools,
we provide a learning environment that allows for enjoyable and continuous study.
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 such concerns,
we offer attentive support tailored to each child's needs.
