What kind of cram school is SAPIX?
[Teaching method that SAPIX advocates] -From the homepage-
Sapix does not simply ask for the amount of knowledge to take the exam. What is asked in the junior high school exam is the ability to think and express the essential thinking and thinking about the task, and how to express it in one's own words. At Sapix, we focus on developing free thinking, flexible "thinking ability", and "descriptive ability" that can be expressed appropriately in one's own words by systematically associating the learned knowledge.
【feature】
Although the number of classrooms is small in Kansai, it has a high pass record among the cram schools in the metropolitan area, and it has an overwhelming track record and popularity in the super difficult school examination. It seems that the secret of high passing ability is to develop thinking ability and descriptive ability, to study in a small class by an enthusiastic teacher with strong individuality, and to encourage competition inside and outside the class.
We have a thorough review principle and do not recommend preparation. Teaching materials are basically distributed on the day,
The feature is that the lessons proceed at a very high speed, and the amount of home study is also large. The printed materials that are distributed are premised on the lessons of the cram school and are not suitable for self-study, so the depth of the content tends to vary depending on the lessons of students and teachers in the same class. Basically, students with the academic ability of the most difficult school class aim for the most difficult, so if you aim for a middle school, it seems better to make a firm comparison with other cram schools.
[Strength]
・ The method of passing the most difficult and difficult junior high school cultivated in the Kanto area is solid.
・ Because the emphasis is on developing thinking ability, it is possible to develop academic ability that can respond to difficult problems.
・ Small classrooms and course divisions based on grades create an environment where students can concentrate on their lessons and develop a sense of competition.
[Weakness]
・ Anyway, the amount of teaching materials and prints distributed is huge. Parental support is essential for organizing prints and following up on unclear points.
・ After class, a lot of review (home study) is required by the next time. If neglected, the guidance will be strict, so children who cannot keep up tend to be in pain. It's not a self-study material, so it's hard to solve it again. How to concentrate on the lesson is important.
・ It costs money to include individual learning follow-ups.
