Best in Class Education – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Training covers curriculum delivery, proprietary software, sales and marketing, and operations, with 26 hours of classroom instruction and 17 hours of on-the-job training. Franchisees also observe live classroom sessions and receive guidance from experienced operators. Ongoing support includes regular financial reviews, recruitment and training assistance, and operations best practices from the corporate team. Resale buyers should confirm with Best in Class what initial transfer training and software system access are provided to incoming ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Best in Class suits an owner who is genuinely passionate about education and willing to be present in the center on a day-to-day basis. The model is operations-led rather than sales-driven, requiring strong management of part-time instructional staff, a focus on student experience and family communication, and consistent delivery of a structured curriculum. Prior teaching experience is helpful but not required; the franchisor's training covers curriculum and instructional methods. Candidates who thrive in community-facing roles and enjoy building local relationships with families and schools tend to be a good fit.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Best in Class Education Center has earned recognition from several franchise industry bodies. The brand was named in Franchise Business Review's Top 200 Franchises in 2020, ranked in Entrepreneur's Top 500 Franchise Concepts in both 2017 and 2018, and listed in Franchise Gator's Top Franchise Guide and Top Emerging Franchises in 2019. For resale buyers, local brand reputation is also a meaningful value driver; center-level community visibility, parent reviews, and referral relationships should be reviewed alongside system-wide recognition when evaluating a specific unit.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US private tutoring market's curriculum-based learning segment was valued at approximately USD 23.5 billion in 2024, with double-digit growth projected through the end of the decade, according to Technavio. Demand is driven by rising academic competition, parental investment in school readiness, and awareness of learning gaps that classroom instruction alone does not address. The K-12 focus of Best in Class places it in the most established segment of the US supplemental education category, one that has shown consistent resilience as families treat academic support as a priority spend.
