Spirit of Math – A Proudly Canadian Education Franchise with Global Reach
For more than 30 years, Spirit of Math has been proudly Canadian, built in Canadian classrooms, refined by Canadian educators, and trusted by families across the country. Rooted in this legacy, Spirit of Math has grown into Canada’s premier after-school program for high-performing students, serving communities nationwide and expanding across North America and beyond.
Spirit of Math continues this mission-driven work: to promote cooperation, inspire confidence, and release the genius in every child. Franchise owners join a system that embodies this purpose in every lesson, event, and campus.
A Verified System for High‑Performing Learners
Spirit of Math’s proprietary 39‑week curriculum is designed for students seeking greater challenge than their day school provides. The program blends four essential elements: drills, core curriculum, problem solving, and collaborative group work, to deepen reasoning skills and nurture advanced thinkers. These methods, perfected in Canadian classrooms, empower students to excel far beyond grade level.
Training & Support That Maintain Quality Across Every Campus
Consistency and educational excellence are at the core of the franchise. Each campus is led by a trained principal and staffed by teachers who complete in‑person training delivered by Spirit of Math’s Learning & Development department. Educators receive comprehensive curriculum and methods training plus ongoing professional development to ensure deep mastery, not simple content delivery.
After launch, franchisees receive ongoing coaching, campus observations, and robust marketing resources, including digital and print campaigns, school materials, and a local marketing toolkit. Annual conferences and graduation ceremonies strengthen campus culture and brand visibility.
Recognitions & Awards
Spirit of Math has been recognized by PROFIT 500 Magazine for six consecutive years (2014–2019) as one of Canada’s fastest‑growing companies, and by the Globe & Mail (2019) among “400 boldest businesses in Canada.” CEO & Co‑Founder Kimberley Langen was an EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist and is featured on Chatelaine’s W100 list of top female entrepreneurs (2015)—milestones that reflect sustained growth and national credibility.
International Influence
More than 40 international partners collaborate through the Spirit of Math International Contests, connecting thousands of advanced learners worldwide. Top performers advance to the Global Round, a prestigious week‑long international event celebrating collaboration, competition, and cultural exchange, adding global prestige to every local campus.
Community Engagement
Community engagement and relationship development have been core to Spirit of Math for over 30 years. We believe strong communities are built through education, consistency, and standards of excellence. Our initiatives include Christmas present drives, food drives, breakfast programs, and scholarships for underprivileged students. Globally, we have provided school supplies, teacher training, and student educational support in some of the poorest communities in Pakistan and Uganda, and have been recognized by the Canadian Consulate for our contributions to advancing girls’ education.
Your Opportunity to Lead
A Spirit of Math franchise is more than a business. It’s the chance to elevate students from the top of the class to the top of the world, while building a lasting, proudly Canadian legacy.
