One-Year Study at a Public Elementary School Identifies Positive Correlation and Shows Potential of Individualized Digital Learning Solutions
TOKYO, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFS) (the "Company" or "Leifras"), a sports and social business company dedicated to youth sports and community engagement and Japan's leading operator of children's sports schools and school club activity support businesses, today announced the completion of a one-year empirical research study at Hachioji Municipal Takane Elementary School in Tokyo. Conducted through Leifras's proprietary non-cognitive skill assessment and data analytics platform, Milabo, the study identified a positive correlation between a student's positive attitude toward sports, the development of non-cognitive skills (essential life skills), and subsequent improvement in academic achievement. The findings further supported the effectiveness of the Company's technology-enabled educational approach and highlighted the potential of "Milabo" as a scalable digital transformation ("DX") solution for schools seeking more individualized and data-driven learning environments.
