Studyplus Signs Contract with Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education for Operation and Maintenance of 'Studyplus for School' at All Metropolitan Correspondence High Schools

Studyplus Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takashi Hirose; hereinafter 'Studyplus') announces that it has been commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education for the 'FY2026 Operation and Maintenance Contract for Studyplus for School at Correspondence High Schools.'

'Studyplus for School' was piloted at Tokyo Metropolitan Shinjuku Yamabuki High School in FY2025 as an LMS supporting learning record visualization and communication between teachers and students. Based on these results, the contract expands the introduction of 'Studyplus for School' to all Tokyo metropolitan correspondence high schools.

■ Expansion of Correspondence High Schools and the Challenge of Tracking Learning

According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's School Basic Survey, the number of students in correspondence high schools in FY2025 reached a record high of 305,221, accounting for 1 in 10 high school students. As learning diversifies and 'individualized optimal' learning is demanded, the role of correspondence high schools is expected to grow further.

However, to realize 'individualized optimal' learning and foster 'independent learners,' schools need to continuously monitor each student's learning progress. Currently, learning records are scattered across paper and digital materials, making unified tracking difficult.

In correspondence high schools, opportunities for communication with students are more limited than in full-time schools, and students must learn independently. This makes tracking learning progress and supporting continuous study particularly challenging.

■ Effects of LMS Introduction in Correspondence High Schools

As part of the 'FY2024 On-Site Dialogue Startup Collaboration Project,' Studyplus provided 'Studyplus for School' to Tokyo Metropolitan Shinjuku Yamabuki High School to realize individualized optimal instruction. It was used as an LMS to visualize learning records and support communication, and was formally introduced from FY2025.

A survey of teachers at Shinjuku Yamabuki High School conducted after the project (as of March 2025) showed that 85.7% of teachers felt that students' learning records would be more useful for understanding students than before, indicating a positive impact on visualizing student learning.

Teachers also commented, 'We mainly use the timeline screen to view students' learning records in a list, which helped us understand the flow of daily learning,' and 'Records of learning from materials outside school were also registered, deepening our understanding of students' efforts and challenges in exams.' These comments demonstrate tangible results in supporting learning at metropolitan correspondence high schools.

■ Transforming 'Invisible Learning' into 'Visible Learning' through 'Studyplus for School'

Based on the pilot at Shinjuku Yamabuki High School, this contract expands the target to all three Tokyo metropolitan correspondence high schools. Leveraging insights from these demonstrations, Studyplus will further develop the learning environment through visualization of learning records and continuous communication with teachers.

This will create an environment where students and teachers can share learning record data and maintain engagement, transforming 'invisible learning' into 'visible learning.'

■ Comment from Nao Miyasaka, Director, Studyplus Inc.

'As society diversifies, children are no exception, with diverse thoughts and values. I believe demand for correspondence high schools, which offer high learning flexibility, will continue to grow, and they have the potential to become role models for schools realizing diverse learning. Against this backdrop, we hope to work with Tokyo to realize a learning environment tailored to each student through digitization of learning records and communication.'

■ Overview of 'Studyplus for School' Communication Platform for Educational Institutions

'Studyplus for School' is a communication platform that connects teachers and students anytime, anywhere through learning records, supporting student academic improvement and classroom management.
