Josie’s Story
Josie is 10-years-old, studying three years above her grade level in the Kumon Program. In fact, she’s studying the same math material that her mom, who is an eighth grade teacher, teaches her students. Imagine that, a 10-year-old transforming equations, working with linear functions and simplifying monomials and polynomials. She’s well on her way to advanced algebraic expressions and she isn’t even in middle school yet.
One of the things that Josie likes most about Kumon is the fact that she’s studying above her grade level.
“Kumon gives me confidence because I know how strong of a student it has made me,” says Josie. “I know that I can do and learn anything if I do the work and practice daily. Kumon has taught me about the importance of focusing and to not be afraid of challenges, but to enjoy them and work through them because I know I can overcome anything.”
Josie embodies everything that Toru Kumon had in mind when he founded the Kumon Method. He felt that students would experience the true benefits of the Kumon Method if they acquired the study habits necessary for self-learning and advanced study.

Good evening, Sorry for emailing you so late but I got into my dream school, Virginia Tech. I just wanted to thank you for all the help throughout my junior and senior years, and for helping my math skills sharpen. I couldn't have done it without you!

STAAR Results
Hi there,
We just received M's STAAR results today and she scored at the 88th percentile! Her 7th grade score was 64th percentile so this was a huge improvement. She's so proud of herself and her confidence is so much higher. She also seems to have been really doing well lately and more excited to do her worksheets and go in on Tues/Thurs. I just wanted to say thank you so much and share the improvement we've seen!
Best, Kumon - Woodland Springs Parent
