Kumon North America, Inc. Celebrates 40th Anniversary

August 31, 2023 // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Kumon North America, Inc. is on pace for a year of growth for new student enrollments in its 40th anniversary year.

Through July, the company had already enrolled more than 105,000 new students, and more are expected. And with more students is the need for more centers. The company has signed franchise agreements for 78 centers in 2023.

“What was supposed to be a down year in franchising is turning out to be one of our best years,” said John Collins, Kumon North America’s vice president of center development. “It’s encouraging to see parents investing in their children’s ongoing education. As competition for higher education increases, the lingering impacts of the pandemic become more evident as the education gap widens.”

The release of math and reading scores in the last year from “The Nation’s Report Card” showed significant declines, revealing growing gaps in student learning.

“I think a lot of what is driving this growth is a combination of increased student competition and the continued fallout from the pandemic,” Collins added. “As these test scores are released, parents are realizing the fallout from the pandemic is far from over. There are persistent education gaps that can’t be overcome by the public school system alone. That’s where Kumon can help.”

Kumon’s impact is significant in the private education sector globally.

Kumon, which began in 1954 in the home of its founder, Toru Kumon, remains one of the oldest operating franchises in the U.S. Kumon, who was a high school math teacher at the time, developed a worksheet education program for his second-grade son, Takeshi.
