"The 2018 inspirational students are a remarkable and diverse group with bright futures ahead of them," said Sung Park, vice president of materials development and instruction at Kumon North America, Inc. "This year's group of students all achieved 'J by 6,' which in Kumon is the study of critical reading and algebra by the 6^th grade. With the annual release of our inspirational student videos, we hope to inspire more students to achieve 'J by 6,' which will prepare them to excel in high school and beyond."
