Guide to Middle School Entrance Exams for Young Learners

On January 17, 2026, Spec TOMAS, a subsidiary of the Riso Education Group, will hold a specialized guidance session for parents of newly enrolled first to third graders. This event is particularly pertinent as the competition for middle school entrance exams has escalated significantly in the greater Tokyo area. With the number of examinees rising steadily, it is essential for parents to be equipped with effective strategies and insights to help their children succeed.

Understanding the Changing Landscape of Middle School Entrance Exams

In recent years, the nature of entrance exams has transformed drastically. Compared to 20 or 30 years ago, the amount of writing required in exams has increased dramatically, with a greater emphasis on critical thinking and expressive abilities. This shift means that children must not only acquire knowledge but also learn how to articulate their thoughts effectively.

The guidance session will address crucial topics essential for navigating these competitive examinations successfully. Parents will gain insights into:

• - The analysis of exam questions
• - Effective learning methods for their children
• - Strategic approaches to applying to multiple schools

These strategies will include pinpointing the critical factors that can make the difference between passing and failing, along with immediate actions parents can take to help their children prepare.

What to Expect on January 17th

The session will specifically target parents of children in grades one to three who are either considering or already aiming for middle school entrance exams. The session will cover important habits that young learners should develop early on, as well as practical advice on engaging with their children to foster a supportive learning environment. Attendees can expect to learn about the skills required for entrance exams, along with examples of real entrance exam questions.

Featured Speaker

The guidance will be led by Yusuke Yamauchi, the academic director at the Spec TOMAS Jiyugaoka School and a seasoned educator who has helped many students gain admission to prestigious middle schools. His expertise in mathematics and experience in producing original educational materials ensure that participants receive the highest quality guidance.
