Active English - SA Franchise Brands

Active English fosters a love of the English language to both first and second language speakers in an informal, progressive and fun way to further the students' education in all learning activities, thus enabling them to become positive and confident individuals.

The Brand

“The Active English programme deserves a commendation. In particular, the Phono-visual charts for learning phonics and developing reading proficiency should be mentioned as strengths of the programme”. These were the words of Professor AS Coetzee van Rooy of North-West University.

Antionette Slabbert, founder and owner of Active English was the proud winner of the FASA Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2010.

Concept

Description of Services

Active English offers a unique and exclusive pre-school programme that is much sought after.
It is a popular educational franchise that promotes intellectual, social and cultural development by using the English language as an extra-mural activity.

Are You Our Next Franchisee?

There are no wishy-washy rock stars, no wishy-washy astronauts, no wishy-washy CEOs, no wishy-washy Nobel prize winners and there certainly should be no wishy-washy educators!

The field of education is a growing industry. If you are absolutely passionate about teaching children creatively then this programme that is aimed at three to 12-year-olds is for you. Prospective franchisees should be organised, resilient and prepared to continually adapt and absorb new ideas and methods.
