Eiko Seminar's Specialized Periodic Test Preparation Course

Eiko Seminar, managed by Z-Kai Group's subsidiary Zenkoukai Holdings and headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is proud to announce the introduction of its "Periodic Test Preparation Specialized Course" for middle school students, starting from the academic year 2025. This course will be available in select classrooms across Tokyo.

This initiative emphasizes proactive learning by allowing students to cover upcoming subjects in advance, providing them with a head start as they transition into a new semester. With this preparatory course, students can experience the benefits of systematic studying, aiming for significant improvements in their upcoming periodic tests.

Understanding the Importance of Internal Scores

In the competitive landscape of high school admissions, public high schools in Tokyo evaluate students based on scores from academic examinations, English speaking tests, and internal scores (naishin), which encompasses grades across nine subjects in the third year of middle school. Similarly, many private high schools also consider internal scores during their recommendation admission processes. Thus, it is crucial for students in the first and second years of middle school to build consistent performance in their periodic tests to secure better internal scores for their high school admissions.

Course Features

Eiko Seminar's course will adapt its curriculum based on the specific test ranges and question trends of various middle schools. By preparing students well in advance for periodic tests, the course aims to improve their overall academic performance and internal scores by third year.

Classes are scheduled to commence after 7 PM, allowing students to balance their extracurricular activities with their academic commitments. Students in their first and second years will attend classes twice a week, while third-year students will have sessions three times a week, covering all five core subjects.

Curriculum Aligned with School Textbooks

The curriculum includes subjects like Japanese, Mathematics, and English, utilizing materials that are aligned with textbooks adopted by middle schools. This alignment ensures that students can effortlessly link their classroom learning with the seminar, deepening their understanding of the subjects. Moreover, the course allows students to learn about a month in advance of their school curriculum, preventing them from moving too quickly ahead while still ensuring that they grasp and retain core textbook materials through continuous practice and exercises focused on recent periodic tests.

Engaging Science and Social Studies with AI

For Science and Social Studies, Eiko Seminar introduces an online educational system called "atama+", utilizing AI technology to cater to each student's individual progress and comprehension levels. This system aids students in efficiently preparing for their tests by aligning their studies with what they have covered in school, while teachers monitor students' learning progress closely. Any struggles can be addressed with additional support as needed.

Maintaining Progress on School Assignments

To effectively improve their internal scores, students must diligently complete school assignments and adhere to deadlines. Consequently, the seminar focuses exclusively on fundamental skill-building tasks for homework, such as calculations, kanji, and English vocabulary, allowing more space and time for students to engage with their school assignments thoroughly. The approach encourages complete comprehension of each unit through retesting and detailed work.

Additionally, the "Weekly My Task" tool helps students keep track of their school assignment progress during class, ensuring that they submit their work on time, rectify mistakes, and gain meaningful learning experiences rather than just completing tasks for the sake of it.

Comprehensive Exam Preparation

The curriculum for the Periodic Test Preparation Specialized Course alternates between regular periods for conducting test preparations and special periods for reviewing significant units and preparing for upcoming curriculum topics. This strategy ensures that students are well-prepared for their preferred high school examinations before entering the third year.

By October of their third year, students will have completed the new units across all subjects and be able to focus intently on exam and school-specific strategies to achieve their high school admission goals.
