franšīzes sistēmas apraksts

Maple Bear Canadian schools brings to Europe the best practices from the Canadian bilingual methodology. Maple Bear is the biggest global educational franchise and one of the fastest-growing private education brands in the world (present in >30 countries around the globe with 560+ bilingual early childhood, elementary and high schools and more than 46,000 students).

Maple Bear is positioned as a premium brand. The Maple Bear educational centres are usually registered as local schools, conforming to local education regulations, and offering fully articulated local curricula in addition to the Canadian program and teaching methodologies, thereby giving children the opportunity to acquire 21^st century skills.

The Nursery and Pre-schools program offer full English-language immersion. The Primary and Secondary School apply Bilingual teaching, where the Canadian curriculum and teaching strategies are adapted to local prorgams and requirements of the Ministry of Education.

Maple Bear now offers the opportunity to collaborate on the basis of a single-unit franchise licence. An individual franchisee operating a branch obtains the right to own and operate a Maple Bear School for 10 years with the possibility of extension. The licence allows a franchisee to run an education centre from nursery to high school but is not obligated to offer the full spectrum and can only run a kindergarten, for example.

Maple Bear franchise is a business opportunity for:

• existing private kindergartens with children having a good standard of English, and that want to distinguish themselves from the competition by offering real English-language immersion, as well as a modern and recognised teaching methodology to both local and foreign families, or that want to add primary education to their portfolios with support from an experienced network;
• English Languages Schools which want to focus more on education; and

• entrepreneurs who would like to enter the education business with strong support from the biggest franchise educational concept in the world.
