Message from the Director
Shoya Shimazawa
FOUNDER / CEO
Creating an Unbroken "Stage for Growth"
through Sports × Education
Even as civilization advances and values change, the essence of "sports" and "education" never fades.
In fact, their importance is increasingly recognized in modern society.
With declining birthrates, aging populations, nuclear families, and the advancement of IT society, children's living environments are changing rapidly.
Children are losing their playgrounds and becoming isolated both physically and mentally.
As parks and green spaces decrease, opportunities for physical activity and connecting with nature are being lost.
That's precisely why nurturing true "human strength" in children is essential in today's world.
"Sports" can develop flexible thinking that adapts to change, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills. It is also important as a foundation for nurturing discipline, cooperation, and perseverance.
"Education" requires not only the acquisition of knowledge and skills but also the development of people who can learn, think, and act independently. Therefore, it is necessary to transform from conventional uniform education to education that nurtures individuality and maximizes potential.
Grow Up Academy is committed to activities that maximize the potential of children who will shape the future, through the power of "sports" and "education," while accompanying their developmental and emotional growth processes.
"Connecting through sports and education, toward a future filled with smiles"
- ●We provide an environment where everyone can enjoy sports, offering children a place to fully experience the joy of physical activity.
- ●Through sports that foster teamwork and cooperation, we support children in building healthy relationships.
- ●With educational programs that nurture individuality and maximize potential, we cultivate the power to shape children's futures.
- ●Aiming to be an organization loved and supported by the community.
Our wish is that through sports, many people will connect and bring smiles to as many faces as possible.
