Cram School 'Mirai-shiki,' Which Makes Thinking Fun, Featured in Asahi Shogakusei Shimbun's 'Asasho Plus'

Mirai-shiki (operated by TricoLogic Inc., headquarters: Osaka, Japan; CEO: Akimasa Nishio), an individualized, all-subject preparatory cram school designed to cultivate thinking skills, has been featured in 'Asasho Plus,' the digital edition of the Asahi Shogakusei Shimbun (Asahi Elementary School Student Newspaper). The article introduces the content and unique features of Mirai-shiki's classes.

### ■ Three Key Features Introduced in the Article

**1. Original Teaching Materials that Encourage Thinking on 'Questions with No Right Answer'** In addition to long-form reading comprehension questions to build reading skills, Mirai-shiki's materials include numerous questions that elicit a wide variety of answers, such as 'If you could go to the future or the past, which would you choose?' and 'Think freely and fill this entire box with your ideas!' The materials are also designed to make complex topics like the 'theory of relativity' easy to understand through a story format.

**2. Fostering 'Self-Esteem' with Positive Feedback** The instructors are thorough in their practice of praising students on the spot for the opinions they express. This clear feedback helps nurture children's self-esteem and their 'joy of learning.'

**3. Achieving Academic Improvement with All-Subject Preparatory Learning** CEO Akimasa Nishio states, 'The scope of the national curriculum can be covered at more than twice the normal speed if children learn at their own optimal pace.' At Mirai-shiki, by attending at least twice a week, students can get significantly ahead of their school's progress, leading to improved results in regular tests and entrance exams.

### ■ Parent Testimonials Parents of students attending Mirai-shiki have shared the following feedback: - 'I enrolled my child because I was worried about their kanji and reading comprehension, and it was the best decision. Their grades in Japanese have improved, and they've become more talkative at home.' - 'My daughter was so happy that she was able to give a presentation at school because she gets to practice presenting every week here.' - 'When we suddenly needed guidance on her future academic path, they responded so thoughtfully and it was a real lifesaver. The teachers are incredibly passionate, so I highly recommend consulting with them about anything.'
