Awards & Recognitions

Kumon is a learning programme based on each student’s individual ability rather than age or grade, which allows them to potentially study at a higher level than their current grade or level. We believe that children can accomplish extraordinary things when they are supported by the proper tools, methods and guidance. Here are the awards and recognitions that Kumon students can achieve throughout the programme.

Kumon International Standard (KIS)

Kumon International Standard (KIS) is the global standard for a student’s grade level. As there are many different types of school systems and curriculums around the world, KIS serves as a global standard that would provide a uniform benchmark for the Kumon curriculum.

Advanced Student Honour Roll (ASHR)

Advanced Student Honour Roll (ASHR) recognises and celebrates children studying above their school grade level. Students can receive a variety of achievements throughout their time in the programme.

Bronze Medal: Completed study materials that are approximately six months to one year ahead of KIS, based on the student’s grade level.

Silver Medal: Completed study materials that are approximately two years ahead of KIS, based on the student’s grade level.

Gold Medal: Completed study materials that are approximately three years ahead of KIS, based on the student’s grade level.

Trophy: Completed study materials that are approximately five years ahead of KIS, based on the student’s grade level.
