A New Era of Learning at 'Korekara KIDS'

Korekara KIDS, a programming school dedicated to fostering coding skills in children, has recently opened its new location in the quiet and educationally rich area of Setagaya, Tokyo. Operated by Korekara Co., Ltd., based in Shinjuku, this school is part of a nationwide initiative that has seen over 1,000 students enrolled across 19 locations.

Since its inception in 2019, Korekara KIDS has been committed to creating an engaging and enjoyable learning environment. Initially, the school faced challenges, with student enrollment stagnating at around 20 in the first year. However, in 2020, the team returned to their core philosophy: understanding what makes learning exciting for children. This revitalization led to a significant overhaul of their educational materials, shifting from a traditional, obligatory learning approach to one that emphasizes fun and immersive experiences. As a result, the school saw its student count soar to over 100 in just one year, demonstrating the effectiveness of this innovative pedagogical strategy.

The Setagaya Area: An Ideal Environment for Education

The new facility in Okusawa is strategically located in Setagaya, known for its calm residential atmosphere and high educational standards. With numerous public and private schools, along with a diverse array of extracurricular options, Setagaya provides an ideal backdrop for children’s growth and development. Libraries, parks, and recreational facilities are plentiful, allowing children to balance learning and play effectively. The area's emphasis on education, coupled with excellent transportation links to central Tokyo, ensures that students have access to a wide range of future opportunities.

At Korekara KIDS, children can enjoy the benefits of programming education from their very first lesson. The curriculum is designed to cultivate skills such as critical thinking and creativity while making learning a delightful experience.

Changing Landscape of Programming Education

With the introduction of mandatory programming education in elementary schools starting from the 2020 academic year, there has been a growing interest in IT education for children across Japan. This trend emphasizes not just the learning of computer operations but also the development of 'programming thinking'—the ability to systematically organize ideas and find optimal solutions through trial and error. These skills are becoming increasingly vital across various fields, not only in IT.

The demand for digital talent and the increasing focus on problem-solving skills underscore the importance of this educational shift. During lessons at Korekara KIDS, students engage in exciting projects, like developing quiz games using MakeCode or creating virtual structures in Minecraft, all designed to enhance their programming skills while having fun.

Parents express a strong desire for their children to acquire skills that will benefit them in the future. With the rise of programming education, choosing the right school has become crucial. Korekara KIDS prides itself on leveraging its experience from their direct-operated schools to create an enjoyable, sustainable learning environment for all students.

To address any concerns regarding continuity or the challenges of starting something new, Korekara KIDS offers personalized support tailored to each child's needs, ensuring that every student can thrive.
