Mirai-shiki Cram School Refreshes as a 4-Course Educational Brand to Cultivate "Thinking Skills" — Consistently Fostering AI-Era Skills from Elementary to Junior High School Students

TricoLogic Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Akimasa Nishio; hereinafter "TricoLogic"), an AI startup originating from the University of Tokyo, announces that it has revamped the service structure of its cram school "Mirai-shiki" and transitioned to a 4-course system: "MiraThink," "MiraZemi," "MiraSkill," and "Exam Coaching."

This completes an educational platform that consistently provides age-appropriate learning for elementary to junior high school students under a single brand.

Background: From a Single Cram School to an Educational Brand

Mirai-shiki started as a cram school to foster "thinking skills," targeting students from elementary school first grade to junior high school third grade. Under the concept of "a cram school that tackles questions without a single correct answer," it has gained support from many students and parents with its unique educational method centered on active learning. As the number of students increased and diverse needs from families arose, there was a demand for a system that could consistently support not only thinking skills but also the establishment of basic academic abilities, regular test preparation, and exam preparation. Therefore, "Mirai-shiki" was repositioned from an individual course name to a brand name, and four purpose-specific courses were established. This created an educational platform that responds to all learning needs from elementary to high school students.

New System: Choose Your "Gateway to Learning" with Four Courses

Mirai-shiki Course Introduction

Under the "Mirai-shiki" brand, the following four courses will be offered:

▼ MiraThink (MIRAISHIKI THINKING)

Target: Elementary and Junior High School Students

Develop thinking skills through active learning!

This is the original course of Mirai-shiki. The program that fostered "thinking skills," originally offered as "Mirai-shiki," has been made independent as "MiraThink (Mirai-shiki Thinking)." It cultivates the ability to confront questions without a single correct answer, think independently, and express oneself. The service content remains unchanged, and this course fosters the "thinking skills" most demanded in the AI era.

▼ MiraZemi (MIRAISHIKI SEMINAR)

Target: Elementary School Students

Improve reading comprehension, memory, and calculation skills to excel in studies!

This is a course for elementary school students based on the theme of "new reading, writing, and arithmetic." It funnily trains the three foundational skills for learning: reading comprehension, memory, and calculation. Students can aim for perfect scores in school tests! By solidifying the basics of all subject learning, we nurture children who can confidently approach learning in junior high school and beyond.

▼ MiraSkill (MIRAISHIKI SKILL TRAINING)

Target: Junior High School Students

Improve grades with unlimited individual tutoring!

This is a practical course for junior high school students. It offers regular test preparation and exam preparation using tablets, with unlimited individual tutoring at a fixed rate. This course aims to acquire not only "thinking skills" but also "scoring ability" directly linked to school grades and exam success.

▼ Exam Coaching

Target: Elementary and Junior High School Students (Junior High School Entrance Exam, High School Entrance Exam)

Achieve the shortest path to success with a "personalized" plan reverse-engineered from your target school!

This is an exam coaching course for junior high school and high school entrance exams. We formulate a personalized study plan reverse-engineered from the target school, aiming for the shortest path to success.

About the Naming

The names of the four courses all bear the abbreviation "Mira" from "Mirai-shiki" and combine words that represent the characteristics of each course.

・MiraThink = MIRAISHIKI THINKING → A course that fosters "thinking" skills

・MiraZemi = MIRAISHIKI SEMINAR → A seminar that solidifies the foundations of learning

・MiraSkill = MIRAISHIKI SKILL TRAINING → Skill training to acquire scoring ability

The unified naming rule of "Mira + ○○" maintains the sense of unity of the Mirai-shiki brand while intuitively conveying the purpose of each course.

Representative's Comment (Akimasa Nishio, Representative Director, TricoLogic Inc.)

"Mirai-shiki started as a 'cram school to foster thinking skills,' but as we worked with children, our desire grew to meet the diverse needs of families, including not only thinking skills but also the establishment of basic academic abilities, and preparation for regular tests and exams. I am very pleased that we can now offer a consistent learning path within a single brand: elementary school students build their learning foundation with 'MiraZemi,' hone their thinking skills with 'MiraThink,' and then, as junior high school students, develop their scoring ability with 'MiraSkill.' The skills children need to live in the AI era are not just rote memorization of knowledge. Mirai-shiki will foster 'the ability to think independently and continue learning' through all its courses."

Future Outlook

TricoLogic will promote the following initiatives, starting with the establishment of the 4-course system: ・Accelerated school expansion: Promoting nationwide expansion, including online schools

・Strengthening inter-course collaboration: Building a mechanism to create synergy through the combined use of multiple courses

・Leveraging technology: Evolving the learning experience by utilizing the technological capabilities of an AI startup from the University of Tokyo
