Kikokushijo Academy Opens New Campus
Kikokushijo Academy (KA), a leading institution for returnee and bilingual students, has officially launched its new branch, the Bunkyo Motomachi School, located in Hongo, Bunkyo City, Tokyo. Operated by Global KA Holdings Inc. and guided by CEO Charles Knudsen, this new campus aims to offer enhanced learning opportunities for students in the area. With a solid reputation for excellence in returnee and English-based junior high school entrance exams, KA continues to expand its influence, providing tailored educational support that emphasizes not just exam success, but the ability to think critically and express oneself confidently in English.
Key Features of the Bunkyo Motomachi Campus
Convenient Location
The Bunkyo Motomachi School is strategically situated just a short 5-minute walk from Suidobashi Station. It is also within a 10-minute stroll from both Ochanomizu and Hongo-sanchome Stations, making it easily accessible for students from neighboring areas.
Focused Weekend Programs
Classes at the new campus are scheduled on Saturdays, allowing for a concentrated learning experience that fosters the development of advanced English thinking and expression skills. With small class sizes, instructors can provide individualized attention, ensuring that each student’s unique learning needs are met. Notably, starting from March 2026, Sunday classes will be introduced to further expand weekend learning opportunities, although space in these classes will be limited.
