Differentiation through improved admissions results at selective schools

「As a result of these initiatives, this spring we achieved a major improvement in admissions to the most selective and selective schools across all middle school, high school and university entrance examinations, which led to a number of inquiries in the first quarter exceeding that of the same quarter of the previous year.」

「In this spring's middle school entrance examinations, the number of students admitted to the elite three middle schools was on course to approach 700, exceeding the Company's previous record. In the high school entrance examinations, in addition to our outstanding results at the most selective private and national high schools, the number of students admitted to the most selective metropolitan and prefectural high schools also surged. In the university entrance examinations, the number of students admitted to the University of Tokyo, the top private universities Waseda, Keio and Sophia, and other institutions increased substantially. As a result, we achieved a major improvement in admission results across all middle school, high school and university entrance examinations.」

「This spring, our Group achieved growth in admissions results across junior high school, high school and university entrance examinations. This was the result of our continued focus on providing high-quality education services through the thorough implementation of our educational philosophy of "developing children who apply themselves wholeheartedly," built on the two pillars of the core value of a preparatory school—improved academic performance and admission to students' schools of choice—and Wase Value, the intrinsic value unique to 早稲田アカデミー.」

「During the interim consolidated accounting period, in academic administration we pursued a fundamental review of entrance examination instruction to further increase this spring's admissions results, which reached record highs for the company at many selective schools. We also worked to address regional examination needs and strengthen practical abilities through the newly established course for entrance examinations to selective metropolitan and prefectural high schools. Enrollment in classes tailored to students' target schools also remained strong, and we will further enhance these offerings to increase admissions results next spring.」

「As a result of these instructional initiatives, admissions results increased significantly in this spring's junior high school and high school entrance examinations, including all 6 prestigious three boys' and three girls' junior high schools, Kaisei High School and selective metropolitan and prefectural high schools.」

Group companies also expanded special courses for students targeting selective schools to increase admissions results, the source of the Group's brand strength.」

「We believe the increase in the number of students was driven internally by a decline in the student withdrawal rate resulting from initiatives to improve instructional quality. In terms of acquiring new students, the sharp growth in admissions to selective schools, particularly the prestigious junior high schools, in this spring's entrance examinations had a positive effect on customer acquisition. In addition, various promotional activities through a media mix aimed at developing new customer segments, together with advertising featuring Mana Ashida as an image character since April this year, contributed to a substantial increase in the number of new inquiries.」

「Admissions results, which support our Group's brand, improved at many selective schools, including a record-high 385 students admitted to the prestigious three boys' and three girls' junior high schools.」

「In September this year, we officially opened the Jiyugaoka campus of 「SPICA」, a preparatory school specializing in entrance examinations for the most selective junior high schools, for students aiming for the highest level of junior high school admissions. SPICA will apply the instructional expertise we have developed through courses tailored to students' target selective schools, with veteran instructors possessing outstanding teaching skills providing high-quality, effective instruction directly linked to admission. From next spring onward, we expect it to strengthen our brand in the junior high school entrance examination market and contribute to growth in admissions to selective junior high schools.」

「We will seek to expand our business by improving our admissions record at selective schools, enhancing the quality of customer service, developing new products to attract new customer segments, and improving management efficiency.」
