Kumon Norh America








One of the largest and most established franchise businesses in the world, Kumon has nearly 130,000 students enrolled at more than 1,500 individually owned and operated Math & Reading Centers in U.S. and Canada alone.


Kumon was started 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a teacher and parent who wanted to help his son do better in school. The unique instructional method he created was so successful that his son was able to do calculus by the time he was in the sixth grade.
Our founder’s belief that every child possesses untapped abilities and the potential to excel remains central to our philosophy. In short, there’s nothing a child can’t do.
The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. That’s our mission, and we’re accomplishing it every day at more than 1,400 Kumon Centers in North America alone.
With centers in 43 countries, Kumon has helped more students succeed worldwide than any other after-school program.


Kumon reading and math programs help children master those fundamental skills so important to their overall academic performance.
