Summer is a crucial period for your child’s academic growth, especially in today’s competitive landscape. With private school and college admissions becoming increasingly selective, summer learning is one of the most efficient ways for students to get ahead academically.

Avoiding the summer slide is essential, and Summer Classes at Tokyo Academics ensure that your child retains and builds upon what they’ve learned during the school year. For expat families, structured learning over the summer provides stability and routine, helping children catch up and get a head start on the fall semester.
