’30 Years of Trust’
A business cannot thrive for three decades without a clear mission to serve its community, and so that’s what exactly we have done during that time from 1994 to 2024.
It wouldn’t have been possible without the help and support of the local community either. Each time CBEC faced a challenge, someone from the local Tsujido or Shonan community reached out to assist us including multiple volunteers, staff members and mentors and who gave their invaluable time to help CBEC survive and thrive so for that, we thank you, the students and the Shonan community at large.
‘Bear English Club’ was founded near Fujisawa station in the 90s then expanded its reach to recruit families  with the opening of a new branch at our current  Tsujido station location, thus beginning our legacy with our first age 7 student on April 1, 2004! The school catered mainly to kids during that time from ‘94-2003 but was rebranded with the Grand Opening of ‘California Bear English Club’ in 2004 in the image of Southern California (SoCal) with a California Casual theme and vibe to appeal to the expand its scope to serve the entire Shonan community. We feel accepted as a member of the local community thanks to your support, commitment and loyalty for 30 memorable years and strive to rebrand and reinvent ourselves in sharing our ‘Golden Anniversary’ with you!
