International and Recurring Education
By Amplifying our Dual Pillars of
International and Recurring Education
Since our establishment in Apr. 1988, our vision has been focused on ‘Lifetime Empowerment’ (the commitment to fostering a learning environment that empowers individuals to continuously acquire new knowledge. Leveraging our strength in Education Technology, including establishing Japans’s first 100% online university and graduate schools, we have primarily catered online education to professionals (under our Recurrent Education business segment). Additionally, in 2013, we embarked on our International Schooling Segment catering to children from preschool students up to highschool students, which has grown to account for nearly half of our consolidated revenue and profit.
The intent for recent change in our company name was to accurately portray our current and future positioning, treating both International and Recurring education as a main driving force. This way, our name further aligns with our vision of “”Lifetime Empowerment”” – continuous learning from childhood to the management level – and will resonate more clearly with the stakeholders.
With our rebranding to ‘Aoba-BBT Corporation’, we marked this as our ‘new start’. Having the international education fostered at Aoba Japan International School (from young children to high school students), and the online education targeting young professionals to senior management, as our two driving forces, we will decvelop our education platform and continue to nurture future global leaders, entrepreneurs or executives.
