About Us
Who We Are
CHIeru Co., Ltd. was founded in October 2006 in Tokyo, Japan, as a joint venture of Alps System Integration Co., Ltd. (ALSI, which is an IT company for ALPS Electric Group) and Obunsha Co., Ltd. (one of the largest education publishers in Japan) to meet growing needs of ICT for school education in Japan. One of CHIeru's primary goals is creating an ICT environment for teaching and learning in schools.
Our services include software and system products, teaching and learning resources and strategic consulting for a school ICT environment in primary through higher education. With this entire integration of teaching and learning services, we have succeeded in increasing each learner's motivation and improving the teaching process and its effectiveness in the classroom.
In close collaboration with our customers, we have been developing new digital solutions including language teaching systems, school network management systems and digital teaching and learning resources that offer a much wider variety of learning opportunities than was ever possible before.
Our customers — teachers — are now beginning to get involved in using technology as a tool for learning. Working with them, we have designed and coordinated their ICT in education, covering all aspects of new, technologically enhanced schools.
Our Mission
CHIeru supports all children's achievement to build their future.
Our company name, "CHIeru" is derived from two Japanese words: One is "知" (CHI meaning - knowledge) and the other is "得る" (ERU meaning - achieve) . We believe that in order for children to build their future, they need to achieve both academic knowledge and social knowledge (social skills) such as trust, respect and kindness first. We want to support such achievement in the education field. We strive to live up to these ideals set forth in this mission and represented by our company name of "CHIeru".
