The Company operates an education business centered on Meiko Gijuku, Japan's first individual tutoring cram school, and several other brands including "Jiritugakusyu RED," "Meiko Kids," "Meiko Kids e," and "Meiko Soccer School." In addition, as a franchise business, we continuously operate business brands based on our own franchise system. Furthermore, we are engaged in various businesses through alliances with group companies.
Meiko Gijuku, a private tutoring school operated by Meiko Network Japan, differs from most other tutoring schools in that it offers customized tutoring services tailored to the academic ability and personality of each student.
Since its founding, Meiko Network Japan has consistently focused on this "individualized tutoring" and has always been a leader in the tutoring school industry, guiding students to develop a spirit of independence based on the philosophy of "self-reliant learning."
We will continue to expand the Meiko Gijuku network throughout Japan.
Our franchise system is a coexistence and co-prosperity between the head office (the Company) and the franchise owners, who share the same philosophy.
To achieve coexistence and co-prosperity with franchise owners, we asked owners to form the Meiko Owners Club in our fourth year of operation.
The Meiko Owners Club and the head office (the Company) work together to hold training sessions, study groups, social gatherings, and share successful know-how.
Meiko Gijuku schools are located in all prefectures in Japan. The company is recognized as a familiar and friendly tutoring school. This high name recognition and brand power are Meiko Gijuku's strengths.
