For those serious about opening a classroom | Over 100 students recruited in one year x average enrollment rate of over 85% | Abacus school franchise with patented teaching materials
From selecting an area to training and attracting students after opening, headquarters provides full support every step of the way.
We are the Ueda Abacus School Group, licensed by Osaka Prefecture and with over 90 years of history. Our patented proprietary teaching materials cultivate calculation skills that can be directly applied to school math. Our directly managed Miyakojima school has over 100 students in one year. We will teach you the "recruitment power" and "ability to convert students into enrollment," which has an average enrollment rate of over 85%, with headquarters providing support from property selection to attracting students after opening. This model can grow to a size of 120 students. The school is open 2-3 days a week, and you are only in the classroom for about 12 hours a week. You can earn a lot by concentrating in a short amount of time.
Estimated Startup Cost:Up to ¥5,000,000
Industry:Cram School/School
This patented teaching material allows students to solve problems using the abacus and mental arithmetic, including long division, horizontal division, and division with remainders—techniques often not covered in typical abacus schools. Preschoolers to first graders can learn the basics in a game-like format using a computer. Grades 10-4 are covered by our group's own in-house certification exams, while grade 3 and above are certified by the National Abacus Federation. All teaching materials are our own original designs, generating a monthly profit of approximately 5,000 to 15,000 yen from material sales (this varies depending on the number of students).
Our group's strength lies in our ability to attract students. Our directly managed Miyakojima school has attracted over 100 students in one year, and other schools have attracted around 80 students in the same year. Even our franchise schools, which opened in 2026, already have approximately 70 students.
Furthermore, by using psychology (Enneagram personality assessment) to provide "type-specific communication" and trial lesson approaches, we achieve an average enrollment rate of over 85% from trial lessons. All franchise schools that opened in 2026 have trial enrollment rates of 80-100%, and even newly opened schools have rates of over 80%. We will teach this know-how from scratch in our training.
* Uemachi School: Opened in 2026, currently approximately 70 students (trial enrollment rate 87%)
* Kuzuhara School: 14 students in 1.5 months since opening (trial enrollment rate 82%)
* Takaya School/Hibino School: 100% trial enrollment rate
The success of your classroom largely depends on your choice of location. Our headquarters will work with you to research and select the most suitable area and property for attracting students. We provide ongoing support, from pre-opening training and initial marketing through flyers and the web, to ongoing operations after opening. All of this is included in the franchise fee, with no additional costs.
Franchise fee of 500,000 yen (includes area and property research assistance, initial training, and provision of know-how, with no additional costs) + classroom setup costs of approximately 1,500,000 yen (property acquisition, desks and chairs, instructional computers, advertising costs for attracting customers at opening) = total of approximately 2,000,000 yen.
