Site
We must approve the Site for the location of your School. The Site must meet our criteria for demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, character of neighborhood, competition from and proximity to other businesses and other Schools, the nature of other businesses in proximity to the Site and other commercial characteristics and the size, suitability of the site for use by children, acreage requirements, appearance and other physical and demographic characteristics of the proposed Site. We also must approve the lease or sublease for the Site of your School. Sites must be a minimum of 1 useable acre. We will approve or disapprove a Site you propose within 60 days after you provide us with a complete site report and any other materials we request. We must agree on a Site within 120 days of the date of the Franchise Agreement or we may terminate the Franchise Agreement. You must deliver a copy of the proposed lease and related documents to us prior to signing them. Our approval of the lease indicates only that we believe that its terms fall within the acceptable criteria we have established as of the time of our approval. You must provide us with a copy of the signed lease within 15 days of its execution.
If you lease the Site from a third party, or purchase the Site, we first must approve the lease, financing and/or purchase documents that you will sign. We require that they contain certain provisions that are designed to protect our rights. If you (or your affiliate) lease the Site from a third party, you must sign and deliver to us our standard form of Conditional Assignment and Assumption of Lease (the "Lease Assignment"), which is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit "E." If you (or your affiliate) purchase or own the Site, you must sign our standard form of Agreement to Lease (the "Agreement to Lease"), which is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit "F."
The Lease Assignment (which you will sign if you lease the Site) and the Agreement to Lease (which you will sign if you own the Site) generally protect our rights under the Franchise Agreement, including our right to possess the Site and operate the School, at our option, if the Franchise Agreement is terminated prior to expiration.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, the franchisor's approval of the site for a school is required. Creative World School has specific criteria for site approval, including demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, the character of the neighborhood, competition, proximity to other businesses and schools, the nature of nearby businesses, commercial characteristics, the site's suitability for children, acreage requirements, and the site's appearance and physical characteristics. The site must be a minimum of one usable acre.
Creative World School must also approve the lease or sublease for the site. The franchisor has 60 days to approve or disapprove a proposed site after receiving a complete site report and any other requested materials. A site must be agreed upon within 120 days of the date of the Franchise Agreement; otherwise, Creative World School may terminate the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee must provide a copy of the proposed lease and related documents before signing them and must provide a copy of the signed lease within 15 days of its execution.
Furthermore, Creative World School will not approve any site for a franchised school that is less than 9,400 square feet. If the franchisee leases the site from a third party or purchases the site, Creative World School must first approve the lease, financing, and/or purchase documents. The franchisor requires these documents to contain provisions that protect their rights. If the franchisee leases the site, they must sign and deliver Creative World School's standard form of Conditional Assignment and Assumption of Lease. If the franchisee purchases or owns the site, they must sign Creative World School's standard form of Agreement to Lease.
