What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Best In Class Education Center FDD, franchisees may offer two 'Special Programs': an After-School Program and a Summer Camp Program. The After-School Program involves students attending the center every day after school for at least 2.5 hours, receiving one math packet and one English packet each week. The Summer Camp Program requires students to attend every day for at least 2.5 hours per day, five days a week during the summer, also receiving one math and one English packet weekly.
These programs provide franchisees with structured options to supplement their core Enrichment Programs and test preparation courses. By offering these Special Programs, franchisees can cater to different student needs and schedules, potentially increasing enrollment and revenue. The structured nature of these programs, with set durations and materials, may also simplify staffing and resource management.
It is important to note that while the FDD mentions these specific programs, Best In Class Education Center franchisees may also propose 'Affiliate Programs' with prior approval from the franchisor. These Affiliate Programs could include partnerships with other businesses, such as drivers education classes, or subleasing portions of the center. This flexibility allows franchisees to explore additional revenue streams, but all such programs are subject to the franchisor's approval and requirements.
