Japanese company Luminaris, which operates a cram school in Tokyo, recently announced the opening of Virtual Cram School Wish High<\/strong>, their brand-new online school in which all of the teachers are VTubers. As reported by ITMedia News<\/a>, the company already has experience with \u201cVTuber-based\u201d educational services, offering courses for middle schoolers and businesses. According to Luminaris, Wish High will be the first ever cram school for high schoolers in Japan where all classes are taught by VTubers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set to officially launch on March 1st, the service targets high schoolers who live in rural areas that don\u2019t have access to cram schools or don\u2019t attend school (non-attendance is legal in Japan). All of the instructors are VTubers covering high-school level subjects such as math, English, physics, chemistry, classic literature, world history, Japanese history, and geography. What\u2019s interesting about them though, is that they are not just \u201ceducators with animated avatars,\u201d but actual VTubers who work as individual content creators and have their own personal channels where they do livestreams and playthroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
