Celebrating 50 years of helping children to reach their potential

We are delighted to announce that 2008 sees the 50th Anniversary of Kumon.  Fifty years ago Toru Kumon developed a series of unique exercises to help his son to improve his maths skills, marking Takeshi Kumon out as the first ever Kumon student. Today, every minute of every single day there is at least one child somewhere in the world improving their skills using the Kumon Method.  So from humble beginnings, we are proud to celebrate the fact that Kumon is currently helping over four million children in 45 countries to reach their potential.
