About Kumon

Kumon was founded by Japanese math teacher Toru Kumon over 60 years ago. Kumon started the program for his son who was struggling with math at the time. After realizing that others could benefit from the success of the program he developed for his son, Kumon opened the first location in Osaka, Japan. It was around this time when Kumon developed the Kumon method of teaching. Through the 60s, 70s, and 80s his method of teaching grew a massive amount of followers. Millions of teaches and students in Japan benefitted from the program and the foundation for learning it creates. In 1990 Kumon established an English version of the program where it was quickly adopted by schools and colleges. Today, Kumon has thousands of locations in the United States and across the globe where its students gain life-changing math and reading skills.
