Major New Opening: WAYS Shiki Center

In a significant development for educational services, WAYS, a specialized tutoring school focusing on junior and senior high school students, opens the Shiki Center located at Marui Family Shiki 8th floor. This opening marks its third establishment in Saitama Prefecture, following the successful launches in Omiya and Minami-Urawa. The school is designed to cater to students from 7th to 12th grade, offering comprehensive support from regular exam preparation to college entrance examinations.

About WAYS

Founded with the goal of providing total support over six years of schooling, WAYS focuses on both interim testing and university preparatory guidelines. In the early junior high and high school years, WAYS enhances school grades (evaluation) through effective test preparation that aligns with internal advancement and designated school recommendations. As students reach their second and third year of high school, personalized strategies for university selection, internal promotions, and school recommendations are employed, accommodating a range of goals from failing grades recovery to entrance into prestigious universities.

Parents of junior high school students in integrated middle and high schools are encouraged to explore free consultation sessions and trial lessons to address their academic concerns. Interested parties can inquire directly with the WAYS Shiki Center.

The Context Behind the Shiki Opening

The Tobu Tojo Line area is home to a multitude of integrated middle and high schools, yet there is a dearth of specialized tutoring facilities capable of adapting to each institution’s unique curriculum and materials. Since its inception, WAYS has received numerous queries from parents seeking support for their children, highlighting the absence of local, adaptable educational facilities. In response, WAYS has established its presence in Omiya and Minami-Urawa, but feedback indicated a need for more accessible tutoring options within the community.

To address this and strengthen educational support for families in Saitama Prefecture, the decision was made to open the Shiki Center in a prime location connected directly to the station, thus providing convenient access for students. At WAYS, community contribution is paramount, emphasizing the importance of giving back to local education through tailored support for nearby students.

The WAYS Shiki Center will cater to students attending the following surrounding integrated middle and high schools as well as others:

• - Rikkyo Shimizu Junior & Senior High School
• - Hosoda Gakuen Junior & Senior High School

Features of the New Center

Located just a minute's walk from Shiki Station’s East Exit, the Marui Family Shiki environment is pedestrian-friendly and easily accessible, ensuring safety for students commuting without exposure to inclement weather. The well-designed classrooms promote concentration, featuring self-study booths and consultation areas to maximize learning efficiency. WAYS prides itself on establishing an educational setting conducive to academic success.

Through a combination of persistent individual tutoring and a rigorous focus on thorough understanding, WAYS aims to elevate students' grades steadily from regular assessments leading up to university admissions. This approach is particularly beneficial for students in integrated middle and high schools who may experience dips in performance.
