What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best In Class Education Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a "Legacy Center" is specifically defined in the context of Monthly Student User Fees and applies to renewing franchisees under particular conditions.
A Best In Class Education Center franchisee qualifies as operating a Legacy Center if they meet all of the following criteria: (1) The franchisee purchased their center from Best In Class Education Center, LLC's predecessor. (2) The franchisee did not sign a Remote Learning Participation Addendum with Best In Class E-Academy, LLC. (3) The franchisee chooses to continue acquiring educational materials from LBIS through the BC Portal without using the Learning Management System (LMS).
The designation as a Legacy Center impacts the Monthly Student User Fees that a franchisee pays. Specifically, the initial base fee for a Legacy Center is $4 per student per subject per month, which is lower than the standard base fee charged to new franchisees. However, this base fee increases by $1 each January 31st until it matches the standard base fee. This definition is important for potential renewing franchisees to understand, as it affects their ongoing fees and operational choices.
