Kumon Math & Reading Centers a franchise opportunity from Franchise Genius

Kumon was started 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a teacher and parent who wanted to help his son do better in school. The unique instructional method he created was so successful that his son was able to do calculus by the time he was in the sixth grade.

Kumon reading and math programs help children master those fundamental skills so important to their overall academic performance.

Our founder’s belief that every child possesses untapped abilities and the potential to excel remains central to our philosophy. In short, there’s nothing a child can’t do.

The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. That’s our mission, and we’re accomplishing it every day at more than 1,400 Kumon Centers in North America alone.

With centers in 43 countries, Kumon has helped more students succeed worldwide than any other after-school program.

The heart of the Kumon learning system is a curriculum of more than twenty clearly defined skill levels and hundreds of short assignments spanning material from preschool all the way up to college. With each assignment, your child advances in small, manageable increments.

Training & Support

Kumon trains qualifying Franchisees in the Kumon curriculum and learning method, as well as business strategies for owning and operating a Kumon Center. Kumon Center owners also take part in our continuing education programs.

Through Kumon Branch Offices, our staff takes an active role in supporting Franchisees in both the administering of programs and Center growth and development. Student materials are continually reviewed, updated and supplied to our Centers. Both internal communications and customer communications are produced and disseminated regularly. Continuing training, meetings and seminars are widely attended by Kumon Instructors. In addition, Kumon North America is now embarking on the most aggressive marketing and Franchisee support program in its history.

Are You a Good Fit for Kumon Math & Reading Centers?

If you enjoy working with children and have some prior business experience, you're on your way. Although a 4-year college degree is mandatory, a background in teaching is helpful, but not essential. The single most important factor is your interest in and commitment to helping children in your community.

Not all Kumon Instructors have a background in teaching, but most have worked with kids in the past. It's not a requirement as long as you like children and are good at working with them. Kumon Franchisees typically have some kind of business background and have decided to apply it to helping children learn. Many have family members who have been enrolled in Kumon.

Opening a Center typically costs between $15,000 and $40,000. for the initial investment. Candidates should have liquid assets of at least $50,000., and a net worth of at least $100,000. It is recommended that the retail location of the center be 1,000 to 1,500 square feet to start. You'll find that Kumon has much lower startup costs than other supplemental learning franchises.
