Gakken Holdings Launches ‘Gakken Base’ Online Campus

On April 1, 2026, Gakken Education Holdings, part of Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd., will open a new online campus called ‘Gakken Base’. This initiative is designed for students enrolled at Gakken High School and Gakken Junior High School, aiming to connect campuses nationwide through an online platform. The goal is to cultivate new relationships among students and educators while valuing traditional face-to-face learning experiences. By integrating online resources, Gakken Base plans to provide a more diverse and flexible range of educational opportunities.

A New Learning Space Connecting Students Nationwide

‘Gakken Base’ will serve as an additional campus for students from Gakken High School and Gakken Junior High School, allowing them to gather virtually beyond geographical boundaries and grade levels. The platform will offer a variety of learning contents, including classes, self-study sessions, consultation opportunities, information dissemination, and committee activities. Students can participate based on their individual interests, preferences, and learning statuses, allowing for a tailored educational experience.

Additionally, staff from various campuses will join the online platform, enhancing support systems by increasing the number of adults involved in students’ educational journeys. The motto is clear: a place to speak, learn, and gather – all within the Gakken High School online campus.

Key Features and Functions

‘Gakken Base’ is expected to implement several initiatives:

• - Online classes (subject-specific, thematic explorations, circle-based)
• - Study rooms (support for developing study habits)
• - Online consultation booths for career and lifestyle advice
• - Digital library services by Gakken Junior to utilize e-books
• - Student-led committee activities
• - Online general assemblies
• - Information sharing regarding career choices and educational resources

Through these offerings, Gakken Base aims to foster proactive learning and engagement among students.

Future Prospects

‘Gakken Base’ is positioned as a ‘sub-campus’ that expands the value of Gakken's in-person campus operations. Looking ahead, there are plans to incorporate Gakken Group’s educational resources into courses and collaborative programs with external partners, further developing a hybrid educational model that balances online and face-to-face learning experiences.
