About Us
Kumon was started over 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a math teacher and parent who wanted to help his son do better in school. The unique instructional method he created was so successful that his son was able to do calculus by the time he was in the sixth grade.
Kumon reading and math programs help children master those fundamental skills so important to their overall academic performance.
Our belief that every child possesses untapped abilities and the potential to excel remains central to our philosophy. In short, there's nothing a child can't do.
The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. That's our mission, and we're accomplishing it every day at more than 1,500 Kumon Centres in North America alone.
With centres in 44 countries, Kumon has helped more students succeed worldwide than any other after-school program.
The Riverbend Kumon Centre has been serving the greater Edmonton area now for over 18 years. Our goal to provide an excellent program, make it fun, relevant to school and maintain good communication with the family, has helped us grow into one of the largest centres in Canada.
