 Kumon’s Core Beliefs:

• Success From the Start — Children begin at a comfortable starting point based on their current level. This allows students to fully grasp basic concepts before moving on. 
• Advancing at the "Just Right" Level — Because each new assignment is slightly more challenging than the last, children are motivated to learn at their own pace. 
• Mastering Each Concept — With timed assignments and a required perfect score on each worksheet, we ensure that children have a complete understanding of a concept before moving on. This process has been extremely successful and helps children advance in test-taking. 
• Practice Makes Perfect — Daily assignments nurture continual measurable improvement. 
• Realizing Each Student’s Potential — Each individualized program encourages children to learn how to perform at their highest potential and strive to achieve more.
