What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, franchisees must participate in the system-wide accreditation program with Advanced Ed. Creative World School has already achieved Corporate Accreditation status with Advanced Ed.
Once accredited, franchisees must pay a monthly fee of $125 for a five-year period. This fee covers the Engagement Review and the annual Improvement Network Fee charged by Cognia (formerly Advanced Ed) to Creative World from the date of application.
This requirement ensures that all Creative World School locations maintain a consistent standard of quality and adhere to the franchisor's educational standards. Accreditation can enhance the school's reputation and appeal to parents seeking high-quality early childhood education. Franchisees should factor this ongoing monthly fee into their operating expenses.
