Entity supported

Kizuki Co., Ltd. (Kizuki Kyoiku Juku private tutoring school)[Japanese]

Entity overview

Staying true to its philosophy of creating a society in which people can start over as many times as they want, Kizuki engages in various businesses that assist those facing difficulties. These include the Kizuki Kyoiku Juku private tutoring school that provides educational support for truants and individuals suffering from acute social withdrawal, as well as an undertaking to prevent dropouts in collaboration with a major professional training college group. The company was named “Kizuki” in the hope that it could help people to recognize their potential and build a future on their own terms, as kizuki is a homophone of the Japanese words meaning “recognize” and “build.”
