People grow through challenges and find hope for tomorrow.
Gakken Group’s founder, Hideto Furuoka, established Gakushu Kenkyusha based on his strong belief that “education is the only way for postwar reconstruction” after seeing how Japan was devastated in World War II. He wanted to create educational materials for children who did not have access to satisfactory textbooks. Our starting point, a magazine called Gakushu, was born out of this desire.
Over the past 70 years, the Gakken Group has evolved into an organization that creates content and services for the enrichment of all people, centered on the two core industries of education and medical welfare.
What has remained unchanged is our founding spirit of creating “something from nothing” and “for people and for the world.”
Bridging this unchanging spirit to the future, we are creating a society where all people can dream, and where we can continue to be a company that helps you to rise higher and go further.
To this end, we promise to boldly lead the way by pursuing our dreams.
We look forward to your continued support and guidance.
Why Gakken? Reasons for choosing Gakken
Gakken supports the building of a foundation of mind & body to cultivate possibilities of all children in the world
We want all children to experience the joy of “understanding” and “being able to do”.We will provide various educational opportunities at home, in the community, at school, in kindergartens, in cram schools, and in other settings so that children can choose “their own learning”.
Gakken Classroom
The Gakken Classroom was created in 1980 with the ardent desire to help children gain self-confidence and experience the joy of learning.
Gakken STEAM Program
The Gakken STEAM Program (GSP) consists of two courses: a science course and a programming course. Through the GSP, children experience discovery, surprise, and excitement and acquire the basic abilities for future learning, such as curiosity, to think independently, and proactive attitudes toward learning. We also acquire the social and communication skills to tackle a variety of challenges.
Books/Toys
We support learning at home with fun, high-quality picture books, workbooks, and educational toys. We accompany children’s first learning experience with books and toys that match children’s interests and development.
