About
Kumon was founded in 1958 in Japan by Toru Kumon and operates globally as a supplemental math and reading program. Students work through a tightly sequenced progression of short daily worksheets, with regular check-ins at franchised Kumon centers. Homeschool families often use Kumon workbooks independently for skill drilling or enroll children in the full center program for structured accountability.
