Toru Kumon, a high-school math teacher, devised a step-by-step, personalized approach to assist his son, Takeshi, in improving his math skills. This approach, known as the Kumon Method, laid the foundation for the world's largest supplemental education program, spanning 56 countries and serving over 4 million students. In 2004, Kumon Publishing North America was established to extend the principles of the Kumon Method to a broader audience. Since then, it has evolved into a leading independent publisher in childhood education, boasting an annual sale of over 2 million workbook copies worldwide. Our books are the result of close collaboration among instructors, editors, artists, and designers in both North America and Japan. This collaboration ensures that our workbooks and educational materials are not only highly effective and intuitive but also offer children a distinctive and innovative approach.
