Post-GW Surge in Student Consultations: Kizuki Kyouiku Juku Hosts Free Online Event on Selecting Correspondence High Schools for University Advancement

Kizuki Kyouiku Juku, operated by Kizuki Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo), will host a free online event on Friday, May 29, 2026, titled, 'Crisis of Repeating a Year or Dropping Out! Should You Transfer to a Correspondence High School? How to Choose the Right School for University Admission Success.'

Based on 15 years of experience supporting university entrance for correspondence high school students and those who have withdrawn from mainstream high schools, this event will highlight the key factors in choosing a correspondence school with an eye toward university enrollment.

'Repeating a year or dropping out does not mean your future is closed.' What is needed is the 'right decision-making framework.'

At Kizuki Kyouiku Juku, there is a recurring trend of increased consultations regarding high school students following the Golden Week holidays. Common concerns include:

'It looks like I might have to repeat a year or drop out.'
'I am considering transferring to a correspondence high school, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice.'
'I want to go to university, but can I pass the entrance exams after switching to a correspondence school?'

This period often makes it easier to see signs that continuing a regular school life is becoming difficult, such as increased absences or tardiness, inability to get up in the morning, or conflicts between parents and children when talking about school.

In such situations, transferring to a correspondence high school can be a beneficial option for a student's future.

However, when looking toward university admission, not all correspondence schools are created equal.

Learning environments, career support, and the ease of balancing studies with university prep vary significantly between schools.

Therefore, it is important not to rush the decision but to adopt a framework based on the goal of university advancement.

This event will share insights based on field support experience on how to approach selecting a correspondence high school with university entrance in mind.

Key Topics of the Event:

- How to organize your situation when facing the risk of repeating a year or dropping out.
- Key points for choosing a correspondence high school focused on university advancement.
- Differences in learning environments and career support among correspondence schools.
- Thinking through various entrance exam formats, such as general selection, recommendations, and comprehensive selection.
- How to balance high school graduation requirements with university entrance preparation.
