We Give You The Competitive Edge!

Athena Learning Centers has two great franchise offerings! Athena Learning Centers after-school learning center franchise and the Athena Learning Centers in-home franchise. At Athena, franchising is an example of teamwork at its best. We bring together the talents of our dedicated corporate staff and management team to assist you with all aspects of starting and successfully operating your Athena Learning Center franchise.

The in-home model is a lower investment franchise and gives owners the ability to offer K-12, 1 To 1 Tutoring and Exam Prep with SAT/ACT – where tutoring is conducted in the home of the student or another mutually agreed location. Owners of the Athena Learning Centers in-home franchise can leverage all of the operational expertise and products of a traditional Athena Learning Center storefront location without the expense. It’s a home-based/low overhead - no storefront needed model. And by eliminating the overhead associated with a storefront learning center, Athena Learning Centers in-home owners can focus their resources on advertising, marketing and management. The estimated Initial Investment for a single-unit In-Home territory is $35,000 to $45,000.

With the Athena Learning Center storefront location, each center is beautifully designed and carefully planned out from a professional learning environment standpoint for all K-12 students. The technology that is in place at the operational level is cutting-edge and allows the franchise to run effectively and efficiently. The programs offered along with the technology will give you the competitive edge in the marketplace. The estimated Initial Investment for a single-unit Athena Learning Center storefront location is approximately $125,000.

With both franchise offerings the business model has been well thought out for today’s economic and education climate, and also designed for the single-unit operator as well as the multi-unit operator. Each Athena Learning Center franchise offers the Athena Advantage℠ package of powerful solutions to help all students meet high standards and prepare them for college and the 21st century workplace.
