Sprix develops and markets tutoring teaching materials for elementary and junior high school students, and publishes and produces Chinese language education, as well as many other educational materials that require printing. For our Foresta tutoring materials, we use environmentally friendly paper and vegetable inks to reduce our impact on the environment.

To protect the safety of the students and teachers at our tutoring classes and to prevent the spread of coronavirus, we require our teachers to take a temperature test before coming to work and we thoroughly disinfect classrooms with alcohol.
We also experienced the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake that occurred on October 23, 2004, while staying in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, where our company was founded. To ensure that students attending our tutoring schools can return home safely, we have developed an Earthquake Emergency Handbook, which we do a read-through every year on October 23, the day of the earthquake, to share our experiences.

Sprix Group’s mission is to make a difference for as many people as possible around the world, and we are actively recruiting people with disabilities to help us achieve diversity.
In general, the retention rate for people with mental disabilities is lower than for people with other disabilities (physical, intellectual, developmental)*. As a provider of educational services based on the principles of communication and education, we apply what we have learned through our extensive experience to support the employment of people with mental disabilities. We have achieved an average length of service of 3.75 years, with the main task being to assist in the administrative work of the headquarters.
In addition, Sprix Group member Shonan Seminar Co., Ltd. has a special subsidiary called Shonan Seminar Ocean, which was established to help promote the employment of people with mental and developmental disabilities. Many of the employees are people with mental and developmental disabilities, and they are actively engaged in employment support operations and office support operations for people with mental and developmental disabilities, as well as providing tours and workplace training for people with disabilities seeking employment. In recognition of these efforts, Shonan Seminar Ocean was selected on its first entry as a top company in the Small and Medium-sized Companies Category in the Best Place to Work Asia 2021 ranking organized by the Great Place to Work Institute.

We have a deep sense of gratitude to Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture, where Sprix was founded. Torasaburo Kobayashi, a samurai of the Nagaoka clan in the early Meiji period, said, “If you eat a hundred bags of rice, they will soon disappear, but if you use them for education, they will become tomorrow’s ten thousand or a million bags,” and we still adhere to this “spirit of a million bags of rice.” Although we have expanded throughout Japan, we are still headquartered in Nagaoka because we want to continue to be grateful to the city of Nagaoka for nurturing and loving us from the very beginning of our company. We also co-sponsor Nagaoka Fireworks, one of Japan's three major fireworks festivals.

Cultural maturity is indispensable for the further development of society. We are a special member of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra and support its performances.
