School Corporation Surugadai Gakuen Corporate PR Department

Sundai Education Center Co., Ltd., which operates Sundai Active Frontier, and Sundai Preparatory School (hereinafter referred to as Sundai), will establish new junior high school classes at Sundai Active Frontier Saidaizi School (Nara City, Nara Prefecture) from April 2026, and will also open a new first-year junior high school class at Sundai Preparatory School Omiya School (Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture).

In recent years, as the educational environment becomes more sophisticated and diverse, there has been a growing demand for learning that looks ahead to university entrance exams from the junior high school stage. In response to these learning needs, Sundai Active Frontier will strengthen its integrated learning guidance system, which looks ahead to goals from junior high school through to high school, in addition to its university entrance exam guidance for high school students.

■ Opening Areas and Curriculum Structure

Saidaizi School <New Junior High School Classes (Grades 1-3)>

Saidaizi in Nara City is an area considered to have one of the highest levels of interest in junior high and high school entrance exams in the Kansai region. There is a demand for early-stage fundamental + applied learning that accommodates a wide range of options, such as national, public, and integrated junior and senior high schools. At the Saidaizi School, the six years of junior and senior high school will be positioned as a time for seamless learning for university entrance exams, and English and Mathematics will be offered to acquire and strengthen logical thinking skills.

Omiya School <New Mathematics Class for Grade 1 Students> *Planned for phased expansion*

Omiya is an area where the number of applicants for junior high school entrance exams is increasing due to the rising popularity of private junior high schools, forming one of the most competitive environments in the Tokyo metropolitan area. It is anticipated that learning needs with university entrance exams in view will further increase in the future. The math class, which requires gradual, cumulative learning that does not rely on memorization, will be offered first. Sundai's distinctive lessons, strong in science and mathematics, will provide opportunities to discover the joy of learning and establish study habits.

■ Teaching Philosophy

1. Development of foundational academic ability that leads to high school and university entrance exams

We provide a curriculum that emphasizes \"thinking skills,\" \"reading comprehension,\" and \"expression skills\" that lead to future academic achievement, going beyond the scope of regular tests and high school entrance exams.

2. Promotion of individual understanding through small-group instruction

This is a learning design that fosters abilities from fundamentals to advanced levels through careful instruction and review tailored to each student's level of understanding.

3. Establishment of study habits

In addition to an accessible study environment, we also emphasize the use of study rooms and support for home study.

Sundai is an educational institution that emphasizes learning that looks beyond immediate success to the future. Please look forward to our initiatives to foster the \"ability to set high goals and think and challenge independently\" from the junior high school stage, when students are growing significantly both mentally and physically.

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