Background of the Evaluation In recent years, as the importance of programming education for elementary school students has grown, parents continue to face the significant challenge of "which school to choose." In this context, Edmond was highly evaluated for the following points:

・A curriculum that emphasizes practical skills, enabling children to "do it themselves." ・A design that is easy for beginners to approach and a learning experience that is easy to sustain. ・Uniformity in teaching quality across classrooms and a robust operational structure.

This result clearly reflects high customer satisfaction, demonstrating a design that balances learning outcomes with continuity, rather than just providing a "fun experience."

Edmond's Educational Philosophy Based on the philosophy of "Low barrier to entry, high goals," Edmond provides the following educational value: Low barrier to entry: An environment where even beginners can start without hesitation. High goals: Ultimately acquiring the "ability to create on one's own."

While many educational services lean toward either "ease of introduction" or "advanced learning," Edmond focuses on achieving both simultaneously.

Curriculum Features Edmond's curriculum is designed to help children naturally develop their thinking skills. It features a story-based learning structure (quest format) and a staged design that builds up small successes. Students master logical thinking while progressing as if playing a game. This shifts the focus from "learning that can be continued" to "learning that produces results."

Future Developments We plan to expand our classrooms nationwide (to bridge regional gaps), further standardize educational quality, and strengthen our learning support environment using AI and digital technology. We aim to build an educational foundation that is directly linked to children's futures, rather than just being an extracurricular activity.

About Edmond Edmond is a programming education service for children, primarily elementary school students. Through practical learning utilizing tools like Minecraft, we foster logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity.
