Entrepreneur Ranks Kumon as Top Education Franchise

Entrepreneur’s annual rankings, published today, are based on outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability and brand power. The 45th annual Franchise 500 ranking is considered an invaluable tool for franchise recruitment.

“Kumon is proud to be ranked by Entrepreneur at the top of the education category once again,” said Mike Shim, senior vice president of field operations for Kumon North America. “Kumon Instructors provide high-quality education enrichment services to their students, and it is our honor to support them as they endeavor to make a difference in their communities.”

This year, Kumon will venture into an exciting new era of technological development with Kumon Connect, a web-based app where students can complete their worksheets rather than doing them on paper. With Kumon Connect, students still go to their local center twice weekly. However, Instructors will be able to support students in convenient, accessible new ways without sacrificing the fundamentals of the Kumon Method.

For children from preschool to high school, Kumon is an after-school math and reading enrichment program that goes well beyond traditional tutoring. Unlike other academic programs, Kumon is individualized for each child. Kumon’s curriculum takes a step-by-step approach to learning, helping children develop strong math, reading and writing skills. Kumon Students develop confidence, increase focus and improve study habits on the way to unlocking their true potential.
