Kumon North America, Inc

For 60 years, Kumon kids have mastered math and reading through an ingeniously devised system of worksheets.  Highly trained Kumon franchise owner/operators have guided them, creating successful community minded businesses.

What happens as kids advance through the Kumon Math and Reading Program?

What Do Our Franchisees Say?

“The satisfaction that a Kumon instructor gets from helping students is really indescribable. there's no feeling like it when a student comes in that might be struggling, and you can turn their whole educational outlook around. For any potential franchisee out there that is apprehensive, I would just say go with your heart.  If you love kids and you want to help kids, then Kumon is a perfect place for you.” - Greg, Kumon Owner and Instructor
