Takahashi Juku

History

In 1968, Dr. Takahashi established and ran successful jukus in Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, when he was a full-time student at Tokyo University of Education. After graduating with his M.A., Dr. Takahashi moved to Hawaii to commence his Ph.D. program. Dr. Takahashi began tutoring students in Honolulu and, in 1977, opened Juku's doors on Algaroba Street and, later, South King Street, where it has served the community for the last few decades. Although Juku primarily supported recently relocated children from Japan with adapting to the American school system, attendance swelled to more than 200 students through the 1980s, and Juku became known for helping local and international students prepare for Hawaii's top schools. Today, Juku is Hawaii's preeminent preparatory school for some of the most competitive schools in the state and nation.
