Incorporated in November 1974 and headquartered at 1-16-15 Minamiikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 171-0022, Japan, Waseda Academy lists on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market under ticker 4718 and operates 192 schools as of April 2025, with 178 managed directly and others through subsidiaries. Its education-related business targets students in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, and Ibaraki prefectures, via core offerings such as Waseda Academy preparatory programs focused on prestigious high schools like Gosanke Junior High Schools; Noda Gakuen provides medical, dental, and pharmaceutical university exam prep under Noda Cruise; Mito Academy serves elementary and middle school students in Ibaraki; Shuugakusya operates QUARD preparatory schools in Chiba; and Youji Mirai Kyoiku runs preschool classrooms under Sun Kids for kindergarten and elementary entrance exams in Tokyo. Overseas, subsidiaries Waseda Academy UK Co., Ltd. and Waseda Academy USA Co., Ltd. deliver instruction to Japanese expatriate children in London and New York, supplemented by partnerships with Gakken Studio for seven additional schools in Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the US as of March 2024. Recent developments include acquiring Youji Mirai Kyoiku as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2024 to expand into preschool education and capture early childhood customers; joining the Toshin Satellite Preparatory School Network and Toshin Junior High School NET as a franchisee in November 2023, opening four schools by March 2024; assuming independent control of Waseda Academy Individual Shinkakukan tutoring operations in November 2021 following a prior alliance with Meiko Network Japan; and progressing smoothly under a three-year medium-term management plan launched in the fiscal year ending March 2024, with fiscal year ending March 2025 results exceeding targets for revenue of 35.07 billion yen and operating profit, positioning the company to meet ordinary profit goals for fiscal year ending March 2026 one year ahead of schedule amid intensifying competition from declining birth rates.
