Class 101

Karen DeRosa and her husband Tony DeRosa wanted to combine their love for teaching and mentorship to reach their #entrepreneurial goals. As parents to four teens, the pair understood the need for #CollegePrep in their local community. With an initial goal of building a consistent stream of income while helping a few #students as college planners, the couple has exceeded their expectations in less than five years. In their time with #Class101, they've touched the lives of more than 500 young adults and their families so far—and they're just getting started.

Thanks to our #franchise owners and their teams, Class 101 #students stand out in the college application process. Can you guess how much our average student earns in #FinancialAid?

We can "pfasplgl im ynngcileeinol." You can't read that as-is, right? It's too confusing. You could spend your time trying to figure it out, or you could find an expert to guide you. The college planning process can be just as confusing as solving that word scramble without the right support. Discover how our #franchisees have the opportunity to "simplify college planning" (which is what that says unscrambled ⬆️) for #students in their communities.

Launching a new Class 101 location is all about connecting with your #community! Through local events, #networking opportunities and #referrals, our franchisees thrive by building relationships. See how. ➡️

Don't let anyone tell you the best of both worlds isn't something you can achieve. 🌎 Like Class 101 owner Roza, you can grow your unique #business with independent locations while being part of a bigger family of support.

It's no secret that higher education costs are rising, but our franchisees provide families with the opportunity to make #college more accessible. On average, Class 101 students bump up their #ACT scores by 3.1 points and #SAT scores by 170 points, which can equate to additional #scholarship dollars available to help lessen the blow of tuition costs.
