Kevins English Schools was established in 1991. We now have two schools in Kanagawa, Japan and teach around 100 students. Both of our schools are in Minamiashigara City. One of them isnear the border of Odawara and Minamiashigara.Many schools in Japan are huge corporate enterprises, literally hiring a thousand teachers per year. Sometimes small is better! We have a few teachers in very homey schools. We care about our students and teachers and from that attitude, we make money. We realize that the former leads to the latter. In our schools it is common to find wooden tables and chairs. It helps to give the feeling of coziness we strive for. Teachers and students seem to enjoy the difference. Kevin Burns and his wife Ikumi are both teachers. Ikumi not only teaches at a local junior high school but she is the co-manager of KES as well. Kevin teaches at KES, and Tokai University in Kanagawa. Kevin also co-manages with Ikumi. Ayako Sugai is our assistant manager and manages our store too. We sell used goods (we have a flea market). The store is on the first floor of our Tsukahara School, across from the FujiSupa (Supermarket).

Our classrooms are designed to be very homey with a lot of wood. We feel it adds to the atmosphere. As well one of our schools our Anne school is an actual Victorian house imported from Canada. All the materials were pre-cut in Cloverdale, BC then shipped and assembled on site in Japan. Our Tsukahara School looks like an old General Store. The classroom too has an old west feel to it. Of course it has wooden tables too!
