The New Form of Learning that Shapes the Future

On March 1, 2026, “Wish High,” the first online learning school in Japan for high school students where all instructors are VTubers, will officially start. This new educational service is provided by Luminaris Inc., headquartered in Sumida Ward, Tokyo. Luminaris is an educational company that operates the individualized learning school “Wit,” balancing the increase of student grades with the joy of learning through its unique learning methods.

Pre-Opening Event and Introduction of VTuber Instructors

To coincide with the start of services, a pre-opening broadcast will be held on the official YouTube channel Virtual Learning School Wish. Scheduled for February 19 and 25, this event will feature Shuna Akaho for geography, Suzuno for Japanese history, Michiru Wanozo for chemistry, Cyan Unomiy for world history, Hagiha Yorozu for classics, and Suigetsu Narukami for English.

Features and Philosophy of Wish High

The innovation of Wish High lies in solving the problem of “difficulty in continuing video lessons,” which is a challenge of online education. By combining the flexibility of online classes with the immersive experience unique to VTuber instructors, it provides “easy to understand” and “easy to continue” lessons for high school students. You can check out this innovative learning experience via the Wish High official website.

The fee is 9,900 yen per course per month, allowing for free participation in major high school subjects. Support for archived viewing is also provided, enabling students to learn at their own pace, making it suitable for those busy with club activities or in need of review.

Aiming to Eliminate Educational Disparities

For students whose learning opportunities are limited by regional disparities or family environments, Wish High offers a revolutionary solution. By employing VTuber instructors, it expands education beyond the constraints of appearance and age, leveraging expression skills. Centered on the desire to learn, it provides high-quality learning opportunities to everyone.

Impressions and Prospects

The initiative of Wish High suggests a future education model that opens access to learning itself to everyone. Classes offered by VTuber instructors are stimulating, not only increasing interest in learning but also creating new forms of education. We hope that this will open doors to even more students eager to learn and further enhance the diversity and richness of education in Japan.
