SAPSAN Franchise Opportunities
Making the world a better place is a challenging long-term goal. One of the most critical tools in achieving this goal is quality education. While the new generation needs effective complex programs to develop their prospects and talents, the current market is oversaturated with courses that lack fundamental methodological frameworks. Four years ago, two progressive educators inspired an experienced entrepreneur with a big idea: to raise a new generation of successful and confident leaders who can change the world. As a result, the SAPSAN company was founded.
Here is how an idea turned into a successful business. Methodologists, psychologists, and practicing teachers from all over the world joined the team. The graduates of Oxford University, the University of Birmingham, Lomonosov Moscow State University became part of the newly-established project. Their modern approach and persistent courage led to new solutions for various issues appearing in the field of education. With such efforts, SAPSAN won the SKOLKOVO grant competition in 2018, and two team members have become laureates of “Forbes 30 under 30”.
SAPSAN continuously improves and modifies its current products as well as works on the creation of new projects. The main principles of the developers are: focusing on children’s productivity and the development of their personality. SAPSAN students are a happy, conscious, and thriving generation of future leaders.
Size of centers
The interior design of centers is maintained in a minimalistic style: while the white color is the predominant one in classrooms (furniture, plain walls), orange elements (sofa in the hallway, reception desk) are used to make the outlook more diverse and exciting for children in particular. The presence of branded displays/boards with the company logo is mandatory. Large windows, an abundance of daylight, and artificial light create a feeling of comfort and order. The interior has to look stylish and modern.

Requirements for buying SAPSAN franchise
- Not everyone can become a SAPSAN partner. The first necessary things are strong confidence and a desire to contribute to the field of education. Teaching children is a very demanding business that should not be delegated to people who are not prepared for it.
- Secondly, all partners are carefully selected by SAPSAN specialists. At the initial stage, partners need to fill out a form and analyze the profitability of the business in their region. Next, the partner should pass a career aptitude test that identifies their strengths and weaknesses. Then, they should take an interview with the Managing Director. We make our decision based on the results of all these stages.
- It is also essential to preserve territorial integrity: if a city already has several operating SAPSAN centers, a potential partner will be offered other cooperation options.
Premise requirements
Premises for conducting centers (classrooms), each with a capacity of 100-150 people, should meet the following requirements:
