Sylvan Learning Recognized as Top Global Franchise System by Entrepreneur Magazine

Sylvan Learning , the leading provider of personalized education for K–12 students, has earned yet another recognition, this time ranking 180th on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2022 Top Global Franchises . In determining the top global franchises, Entrepreneur evaluated factors like international growth, franchisee support and financial stability.

“It is such an honor to be recognized as a Top Global Franchise,” said John McAuliffe , CEO of Sylvan. “After over four decades of business, we’re still growing and looking to plant flags in new communities. Our focus has always been in the local towns that we serve, and the longevity of our success is a testament to how everyone from the corporate office to franchisees and center directors work together to provide our students the best support to drive actual results.”

The brand’s reputation is built on a solid foundation; independent research has shown that Sylvan students have measurably higher levels of success than their peers, and the brand is highly likely to be recommended to a friend or colleague by existing families.

Currently, Sylvan has over 710 points of presence worldwide and is still growing rapidly, opening, on average, a new location every other week throughout 2022.

This momentum has been supported, in large part, by the franchisor’s ability to provide incredible support to its franchisees and grow and adapt as learning circumstances change. For many in the education sphere, COVID-19 was the cause of great disruption.

While Sylvan had to make adjustments, it has continued to hold strong, leveraging innovative ways to maintain a connection with students, incorporating additional technology and taking advantage of federal funding and institutional partnerships to provide individualized supplemental and enrichment learning opportunities to students who need them.

As the brand continues along this path of impressive growth, it is welcoming qualified franchisees in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as domestically in California, New York, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts, among other target markets.
