New Educational Partnership: Hirodai Ken and Polaris Academia

In a significant stride towards enhancing education for aspiring university students, Hirodai Ken, a unique prep school composed exclusively of graduates from Hiroshima University, has joined forces with Polaris Academia, a consulting-based educational institution based in Tokyo. This collaboration aims to introduce the new "Challenging University Consulting Course" starting from 2026, which promises to deliver tailored educational support to students targeting prestigious universities.

The Background of the Collaboration

Hirodai Ken has firmly established itself with a distinctive mission: to help students achieve "reverse admission" into their desired universities. The institution has consistently guided students through the challenging landscape of university entrance examinations, but it also identified critical issues faced by many students:

• - Uncertainty about what to study, when to do it, and how much is necessary.
• - Difficulty in executing and improving study plans once established.

On the other hand, Polaris Academia has a proven track record of successfully guiding students towards admission to challenging universities through its proprietary educational management system, the "FISE Cycle". This approach ensures comprehensive supervision of each student's learning plan, from design to execution and subsequent improvements. By merging the strengths of both institutions, the new partnership seeks to provide a cutting-edge educational environment that excels in both strategy and execution.

Overview of the Challenging University Consulting Course

The freshly unveiled course is designed exclusively for students aiming for highly competitive universities. Each participant will be paired with a dedicated exam consultant offering tailored study plans and management. The course will operate under the auspices of Polaris Academia at its Hiroshima Station campus, ensuring that it adheres to the methodology developed by Polaris.

Key Features of the Course

1. Integration of the FISE Cycle: Utilizing Polaris Academia’s monitoring system, the course will provide a structured approach to study planning, execution, and review—transitioning away from reliance on intuition, thus delivering a more systematic educational experience.

2. Expert Instruction: The teaching staff will include 2-3 instructors from Hiroshima University’s medical faculty, all boasting an academic standing of 65 or above. These instructors will facilitate weekly learning meetings that will rigorously track both quantity and quality of studies, ensuring fast resolution of challenges across various subjects.

3. Convenient Study Environment: The Hirodai Ken Hiroshima Station campus will offer a dedicated study space available every day, from 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays, and 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM on weekends. This aims to support students in developing a consistent study routine, reducing the chances of abandoning their study plans.

Future Outlook

Hirodai Ken is determined to propagate the belief that with the right strategies and supportive environments, even students from regional areas can successfully gain admission to esteemed institutions. Through its model collaboration with Polaris Academia, the institution aspires to extend this valuable message from Hiroshima across Japan. Future plans entail further enhancement of resources and support specifically aimed at students aspiring to enroll in challenging universities, ultimately contributing to a higher success rate in achieving first-choice admissions for many students.
