Vision and Method

We believe in the infinite potential of the individual to learn.  Our vision is to enable each student to reach his/her highest potential and to develop a life-long enjoyment of learning; as a result, our community will benefit from their contributions.  Our method of developing the student's math and reading ability is based on the Kumon System of learning.

Parent Involvement
  • In Kumon, parents play a vital role in their own child’s learning. Parental support and commitment is crucial for the success of the student in this program. Parents are responsible for the regular attendance of their child at the center and in providing a supportive learning environment at home.
  • Parents need to schedule a stand-in time for their child’s 30 min class time per subject up to twice a week because of the class size limit. Those do not come at the appointed time can only exchange their homework if the class is full.  To help our students develop and maintain a good daily study habit, parents need to designate a homework time and space at home, making sure all assigned homework is completed, home graded and corrected to 100% each day before returning the homework to class.
  • A home record sheet is provided with each new group of homework exchange to help parents stay on top of the homework assignment, as well as to mark and record the homework scores. Answer keys are provided to parents to facilitate home grading.
  • The amount of homework will be reduced to 5 pages maximum per day if homework is not graded at home. Students’ progress will be compromised without the daily feedback at home.
  • In case of sickness or other absences, parents need to notify the office and make arrangements to pick up homework from the center. At least one week’s advanced notice is needed to pick up extra homework for the vacation days.
  • Parents are encouraged to communicate with the instructor any concerns regarding the child’s study at home, their progress and any challenges. Telephone or personal conferences can be set up when needed; formal conferences in May and November are voluntary to discuss the student progress and six-month projection.
