However, as families nationwide continue working to combat the learning loss associated with COVID-related school disruptions, more and more people are looking to after-school and other supplemental educational programs to support their children. - **Initial Investment: $105,000 – $269,000** - **Existing Units: 6** For entrepreneurs looking to establish a business internationally, Bluekey Education has been the #1 supplemental higher education franchise in Canada, according to its website. The brand offers support to high school graduates, international students and mature students as they pursue higher education, establishing a unique offer in the larger education market, which largely caters to grade-school-aged students. - **Initial Investment: $16,500 – $78,700** - **Existing Units: 137** Best Brains Learning Centers provides a low student-to-teacher ratio with certified educators, allowing students to receive supplemental instruction on official educational standards. According to its website, state-certified teachers can open their own Best Brains center for an initial investment of as low as $3,000, making this an incredibly competitive option for educators looking to reach beyond the classroom. - **Initial Investment: $41,880 – $117,000** - **Existing Units: 20** Founded in 1986, Parker-Anderson Enrichment did not begin franchising until 2014, giving the brand and its leadership plenty of time to perfect the proven business model. Parker-Anderson is unique in that it provides franchise owners an opportunity for multiple streams of year-round income, offering support within schools, community centers, summer camps and more. - **Initial Investment: $1,053,500 – $5,505,000** - **Existing Units: 17** Ivy Kids Systems delivers a unique offering to families of young children, incorporating an active learning curriculum to early childhood care. The brand also shows concern for a child's overall wellbeing, implementing “Brain Bites,” a school nutrition program specifically catered to providing the nutrients young children need for proper development. - **Initial Investment: $29,600 – $37,500** - **Existing Units: 24** Bricks Bots & Beakers, or B3, provides an after-school, summer and enrichment program that focuses specifically on STEAM — science, technology, engineering, art and math — in the context of camps, parties, field trips and workshops. The brand positions itself as “the widest STEAM offering in the industry for less than the price of a mid-level new car,” allowing franchisees access to a specialized business for a relatively low initial investment. - **Initial Investment: $48,300 – $62,950** - **Existing Units: 163** Challenge Island provides a mobile, STEAM, project-based learning business in a rare, screen-free environment. Franchisees can provide unique, hands-on learning experiences and secure multiple income streams through on-site field trips, camps, virtual programs, Girl Scout workshops and more. - **Initial Investment: $104,115 – $307,950** - **Existing Units: 15** Skill Samurai is currently operating in the U.S., Canada and Latin America and is launching in Australia and Asia soon. The brand allows franchisees to run a business in a mobile format, online-only or a physical location. According to its website, Skill Samurai offers more exciting tutoring for students and carries less stigma. - **Initial Investment: $738,000 – $3,900,000** Operating in the U.S. where foreign language education for young children is less and less common, Casa de Corazón provides a Spanish immersion program that also emphasizes sustainability and social responsibility, better preparing children for their futures by providing a form of education that often is not available until much later in one’s academic career. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Education & Childcare (sector) - franchise opportunities (topic) - stem education (topic) - supplemental education (topic) - education franchises (topic) - language immersion (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/eight-emerging-education-franchises-you-should-know-2719094).
