Mission

To bring a sense of wonder
in children around the world

Instead of trying to predict what abilities the next generation of children may require, we want to serve them by ‘nurturing their sense of wonder.’

Children who grow up with a sense of wonder use their power to pioneer 
innovations beyond our wildest imaginations to clear the way for the future we all desire.

Looking forward to such a future, we work with a sense of thrill to bring you our service. 
Our mission is simple. To make an impact on society.

A system to develop one's 
learning ability.

Core Values

To continue to fulfill our mission,
we have set out core values and guidelines 
on which we place great importance.

Our goal was to avoid ambiguity with words. 
Crafting each and every core value thoroughly, 
we came up with the world's first 'mathematical core values.'

Core
Value
1

$Value\ =\ |f( challenge) |$
Challenge oneself
$challenge$
: The content of a new action from your own will

Some challenges aren't highly evaluated against a certain scale or are deemed to have failed. However, each and every one provides positive value.

Core
Value
2

$Our\ Work\ =\ \lim\limits _{f,t,i\ \to\ \infty } \ W( f,t,i)$
Imagine without limits
$f$: feel, $t$: think, $i$: imagine
$W$
: result from work

Our job is to create services that reach children all around the world. It's important to always feel, think, and imagine without limitation!

Core
Value
3

$a_{n+1} \ =\ a_{n} \ +\ \sum\limits _{x\in X}| \vec{I} \times \overrightarrow{U_{x}}|$
Update one’s values
$a_{n}$
: Composition of one’s mind
$\vec{I}$
: One’s own receptiveness
$X$
: All that is unknown and recognizable
$\overrightarrow{U_{x}}$
: Information that emanates from $x$ and is newly recognized by the individual

Improve tomorrow’s version of yourself by discovering and taking in things you didn’t know before, including different values to your own. Continue to update yourself by uncovering and absorbing as many unknowns and variations as you can.
