Entrepreneur Magazine Ranks Kumon Math And Reading Centers No. 1 In Tutoring Category

Kumon Rated No. 22 Overall in Franchise 500 Ranking

TEANECK, NJ (Tuesday, January 07, 2003) - Kumon Math and Reading Centers, an after school supplemental education program for children of all ages, ranked No. 1 in the tutoring category of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 24th annual “Franchise 500” issue for the second year in a row.

Kumon Math and Reading Centers, the world’s largest supplemental education company, was founded in 1954 by high school teacher Toru Kumon in Japan, in an effort to help his son improve in math. In the 40 years that followed, the company has helped millions of children build a strong foundation in math and reading skills. Today, there are 1,100 centers and more than 100,000 students enrolled in the United States. Kumon expects to open 200 new centers this year.

“Supplemental education is a fast-growing and rewarding business,” said Mark Mele, assistant vice president of franchising. “As U.S. class sizes grow and academic standards rise, teachers are often limited to the individual assistance they can provide each child. Kumon supplements a child’s education with individualized programs to help students reach their full potential while developing skills that will last a lifetime.”
