Photon Math Online School's New Advertising Initiative

The Photon Math Online School, operated by Photon Math Club, is set to begin its advertising campaign on October 13, 2025, across 11 different transportation lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area. This advertisement aims to raise awareness about the crucial role that mathematics plays in junior high school entrance examinations and how it can foster logical thinking skills and a high level of mathematical competency beneficial for both junior and senior high school mathematics.

Accessible High-Quality Math Education

Photon Math Online School offers the same high standard curriculum as the renowned Photon Math Club, which typically demands entrance exams due to its popularity. Classroom participation at the Photon Math Club sees an admission rate of about five times, creating a substantial barrier for many interested parents and students. However, with the online model, students from any location across the country can partake in top-notch math education without needing to sit an entrance test. This aspect represents one of the most significant advantages offered by Photon.

The Importance of Early Math Skills in Entrance Exams

Mathematics is one of the most critical subjects that can make or break a student's chances in junior high school entrance exams due to its weight in scoring. Establishing a solid foundation early on with logical thinking and application skills leads to substantial achievements in this area. At Photon Math Online School, granular review timings and structured lessons enhance learning efficiency, ensuring that students build confidence and understanding through the meticulous explanation videos provided by the school's principal, Nobutatsu Takei.

Courses Designed for Varying Skill Levels

Traditionally, Photon Math Online School focused on a ‘Exam Course’ aimed primarily at students aiming for competitive junior high schools. However, starting from the 2026 academic year, Photon plans to introduce a ‘Progress Course’ designed for students who may not be taking entrance exams. This new course will allow for the provision of high-quality mathematics education to a broader audience while maintaining a supportive learning environment.

• - Exam Course: Tailored for students aspiring to gain entry into prestigious junior high schools, this course employs the exact curriculum used in the highly successful in-person Photon Math Club, focusing on building logical reasoning and application skills necessary for competitive exams.

• - Progress Course: For those not gearing up for entrance exams, this course excludes specific entrance exam contents, providing a comprehensive learning experience that spans fundamental to advanced math concepts. This course nurtures students’ flexible thinking abilities while incorporating an engaging review process and instructional videos, thereby instilling a sense of accomplishment and confidence in their learning.
