Surugadai Gakuen Educational Corporation, Corporate PR Department

Sundai Education Center Co., Ltd., which operates Sundai Gen-eki Frontier, and Sundai Preparatory School (hereafter, Sundai) will establish new classes for junior high school students at Sundai Gen-eki Frontier Saidaiji School (Nara City, Nara Prefecture) and open a new 7th-grade class at Sundai Preparatory School Omiya School (Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) starting from April 2026.

In recent years, as the educational environment has become more advanced and diversified, there has been a growing demand for learning geared towards university entrance exams starting from the junior high school stage. In response to these learning needs, Sundai Gen-eki Frontier will strengthen its integrated learning guidance system that looks ahead from junior high school to post-high school graduation goals, in addition to providing university entrance exam guidance for high school students.

■ Opening Areas and Curriculum Structure

Saidaiji School

Saidaiji, Nara City, is an area known for having one of the highest levels of interest in junior and senior high school entrance exams in the Kansai region. There is a demand for early-stage foundational and applied learning that accommodates a wide range of options, including national, public, and private integrated junior-senior high schools. At the Saidaiji School, the six years of junior and senior high school are positioned as a seamless period of learning for university entrance exams, and we will offer classes in the two subjects of English and mathematics to acquire and strengthen logical thinking.

Omiya School *Scheduled for gradual expansion

In Omiya, the number of students taking junior high school entrance exams is on the rise due to the growing popularity of private junior high schools, creating one of the leading competitive environments in the metropolitan area. It is anticipated that the need for learning with an eye toward university entrance exams will further increase in the future. The first class to open is a math class, which requires step-by-step cumulative learning that does not rely on memorization. Sundai, with its strength in science and mathematics, offers classes that provide an opportunity to discover the joy of learning and to develop study habits.

■ Guidance Policy

1. Fostering Foundational Academic Skills for High School and University Entrance Exams

We provide a curriculum that goes beyond regular tests and high school entrance exams, emphasizing "thinking ability," "reading comprehension," and "expressive power" that lead to future academic strength.

2. Promoting Individual Understanding Through Small Class Sizes

Our learning design carefully provides guidance and review according to the level of understanding to help students grow their abilities from the basics to applied skills.

3. Establishing Study Habits

In addition to an environment that makes it easy to attend the school, we also emphasize the use of study rooms and support for home learning.

Sundai is an educational institution that emphasizes learning with an eye on the future, not just "passing the exam in front of you." Please look forward to our efforts to cultivate the "ability to hold high aspirations, think for oneself, and take on challenges" from the junior high school stage, a time of significant physical and mental growth.

We will continue to work on improving the quality of education as a learning hub trusted by the community.
