Experience the Future of Education at NIJIN Academy Ogikubo

On June 27th, NIJIN Academy Ogikubo will host a unique free trial event for children, offering a chance to explore a different approach to learning. Located just a three-minute walk from the station in Suginami, Tokyo, NIJIN Academy is a safe haven where children can find joy in learning outside the constraints of traditional schooling.

A New Approach for Today’s Students

With a staggering 346,482 children currently not attending school in Japan, NIJIN Academy stands out as a beacon of hope. Opened in September 2023, the main campus has successfully enrolled over 480 students from across the nation, catering to children from first to ninth grade. Utilizing a blend of online classes and metaverse environments, NIJIN Academy provides interactive and meaningful learning experiences. Many parents have expressed their gratitude, noting that their children have regained their lost spark of joy through this innovative educational approach.

As of 2024, with the demand for a hybrid educational experience increasing, NIJIN Academy plans to expand its physical presence. By May 2025, the Ogikubo branch will join 26 campuses across the nation, making it easier for children to choose a learning style that suits their needs.

Discover Freedom in Learning

At NIJIN Academy Ogikubo, the philosophy is simple: children learn best when they have the freedom to explore their interests. Students can dive into exciting experiments or indulge in board games with friends. The academy fosters an environment where kids can choose their own educational paths, surrounded by understanding educators who respect their pace. This nurturing approach allows children to develop a positive attitude towards learning, transforming thoughts of “I can’t” into “I can try.”

Fun and Engaging Activities

During the trial event, participants will engage in creating bubble slime, a popular activity among children. Using ingredients like borax, laundry glue, and foaming hand soap, kids will explore sensory experiences as they mix, touch, and play with their colorful creations. It’s an inviting way for young learners to experience the joys of science and creativity hands-on.
