The Kumon Method aims to foster STUDY AUTONOMY in children, seeking to STRENGTHEN each individual’s learning potential. Through a planned, individualized learning process, students gain confidence and become capable of independently tackling the challenge of acquiring knowledge. Born from a father’s love for his son, Professor Toru Kumon—the creator of the Method—left us with the sentiment of CONTRIBUTING to SOCIETY’S DEVELOPMENT, which is why our employees walk alongside us day after day. **We are constantly seeking new professionals who want to grow with us.** We offer a career development plan that values each employee’s growth and dedication, and operate under three work modalities: in-person, hybrid, or remote. We highly value all cultures and diversity here—we are one big family! Among our benefits, you’ll enjoy support for healthy eating, annual and/or semi-annual bonuses, encouragement for continued learning and skill enhancement, and, of course, free access to Kumon’s learning materials across all subjects! Moreover, as a multinational, knowledge exchange and sharing among our employees happen continuously—whether through travel, remote participation in meetings, or cross-team collaboration. After all, **we are an organization that never stops learning!**
