Kumon Franchise Continues to Pave the Way at the Forefront of the Tutoring Industry

TEANECK, N.J., Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the recent Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results, United States students have made great strides in the last two decades, but still lag behind in the global education ranking, failing to make the top 10 in the survey results.

As parents continue to prioritize educational opportunities outside of the classroom in order to compete in today's competitive environment, Kumon remains the leader in the education franchise industry.

For the 16^th consecutive year, Kumon has been named the number one tutoring franchise in Entrepreneur's annual Franchise 500 Issue. Kumon's overall Franchise 500 ranking of 11^th is the highest it's ever received.

"Kumon's consistently high industry rankings demonstrate our commitment to bringing the benefits of the Kumon Math and Reading Program to as many children as possible," said Larry Lambert, vice president of franchise recruitment at Kumon North America, Inc. "This is evident through our continuous expansion into new markets and recent surpassing of a company milestone of 400,000 subject enrollments in North America."

Kumon North America saw an increase of more than 24,000 new students from 2015 to 2016. Outside of Japan, where the learning program was founded, Kumon North America has the second largest enrollment of students.

• 283,330 subject enrollments at 1,500 Centers
