Protect Summer Routine for School-Absent Children! NIJIN Summer School 2026 Tickets Now on Sale, Opening Metaverse Campus for One Month

NIJIN Academy (operated by NIJIN Inc., headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo, represented by Director Tatsuro Hoshino), an alternative school for children who are not attending school, has started selling tickets for the 'NIJIN Summer School 2026 (One-Month Limited Experience Ticket)'. This program allows elementary and junior high school students nationwide to fully experience the online metaverse (virtual space) campus during the summer vacation period from Monday, July 27, 2026, to Friday, August 28, 2026. It offers unlimited access to unique daily lessons that help regulate children's sleep schedules, which often become irregular during summer break, connect them with friends from across the country from the safety of home, and foster their independence. The application deadline is Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 12:00 PM.

Background of the Event: Preventing 'Irregular Routines' and 'Isolation' During Summer Break, Providing Special Experiences

'My child spends all day on games and YouTube, and their summer routine falls apart.' 'Because it's summer, I want to give them special experiences and encounters.' These are common concerns among parents of children who are not attending school or are reluctant to go. Therefore, NIJIN Academy, with its unique online metaverse campus, is launching a summer school that condenses attractive systems and curricula designed to make children want to attend, not out of obligation, but because they genuinely want to go. We will deliver a special summer where children can step out of the safe environment of their homes and make friends for social co-creation across the nation.

Three Features of 'NIJIN Summer School 2026'

1. 'Best Start' with Morning Radio Exercises and Morning Meeting! Establish a Regular Routine
Regular routines are most easily disrupted during long vacations. At NIJIN Summer School, students gather in the metaverse space every morning at 9:00 AM and start the day with radio exercises and a 'morning meeting'. The enjoyable habit of wanting to see everyone again tomorrow naturally creates a rhythm for waking up refreshed in the morning.

2. Unlimited Access to 'Unique Lessons' Beyond Textbooks! Stimulate Intellectual Curiosity and Independence
Going beyond mere subject-based learning, we offer a unique curriculum that draws out children's independence and proactive engagement, their desire to 'know!' and 'try!'. Lessons are available anytime during the period.
[Curriculum/Lesson Examples] Let's Make a Uniform Project (Project-based learning), Challenge with Regrown Vegetables! (Home Economics x Social Studies)

3. Make 'Friends' Nationwide Through the Metaverse Space
This is a safe and secure community where diverse elementary and junior high school students gather from all over Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. By freely moving their avatars in the metaverse space, they naturally communicate via chat and voice. They can meet lifelong friends who appreciate each other's individuality.

Example Daily Schedule
9:00 AM - [Morning Activity] Group Radio Exercises & Morning Meeting (Building a daily rhythm)
9:30 AM onwards - [Lesson Participation] Subject learning or project-based lessons on 'social co-creation'
*Lesson times vary by day. Detailed schedules will be provided during the pre-orientation (scheduled for July 24) and via a dedicated calendar.
