About Us Most supplemental education programs have a somewhat narrow mission.
Their tools are tutors and textbooks, and they tend to focus on a very specific topic with which a child is struggling. For the most part, they specialize in rapidly "fixing" students who have fallen behind in a particular subject or who need to improve their tests scores quickly.
Our Students' Successes
- 30 of our program completers have been ranked #1 in North America in Math and/or Reading.
- 100% of our program completers have been accepted into the school of their first choice.
- 40% of our students have tested successfully into gifted schools and/or accelerated and/or advanced placement programs.
- Over $280,000 of academic scholarships/assistance have been awarded to existing and former students of our Niles and Park Ridge Centers.
Kumon is Different
While Kumon is focused on math and reading, our educational mission is much bigger than any one subject, or any one test. Kumon is not a "quick fix" and does not tutor children, but is a systematic approach to giving your child the tools to succeed in every aspect - and at every stage- of school.
In short, Kumon is committed to helping your child, over time, become a fundamentally
better learner.
