RUTHERFORD, N.J. (March 5, 2024) – Kumon North America on March 1 officially rolled out its new digital worksheet platform, Kumon Connect, making Kumon more accessible and convenient for students across North America.

After nearly 70 years of helping students succeed academically using the proven Kumon Method, Kumon North America last year launched the digital pilot program that allowed children to complete their Kumon worksheets using a tablet and stylus.

“We are excited for this national launch of Kumon Connect, as it will make the Kumon Method accessible to even more children,” said Mino Tanabe, CEO of Kumon North America. “Through Kumon Connect, students benefit from positive, personalized learning experiences and develop technological skills that are crucial to their academic success and future professional endeavors.”

Individualization has always been a key element of the Kumon Program, with every child’s starting point based on their placement test and advancing according to their performance on their worksheet assignments. With Kumon Connect, students sign in to a web-based app, where they will be able to see their graded worksheets from the previous day and access their homework. Instructors can “replay” students’ work, provide feedback and update lesson plans accordingly. Also, parents can monitor their children’s progress in real time through the app. Kumon’s new digital platform truly increases the connection between students and instructors and the value of Kumon for families.

Students provide their own devices, but there is no additional enrollment fee associated with Kumon Connect. Kumon Connect students attend class in their local Kumon Centers twice per week and do homework the other five days, just like traditional Kumon worksheets.

In a recent survey, 95% of parents whose children participated in the Kumon Connect pilot program reported that students who completed their Kumon homework on a tablet were either more engaged or as engaged in their studies than they were previously, and 74% said Kumon Connect had a positive impact on their children’s independent learning skills. Additionally, 70% said their children were enthusiastic about completing assignments using Kumon Connect.
