StageCoach - A rewarding part-time business helping children reach their full potential
Often copied but never equaled, StageCoach Theatre Arts Schools offer part-time training in Dance, Drama and Singing for children and teenagers aged 4 to 18 years. StageCoach schools, taught by specialist teachers, run outside school hours during term-time and each school performs for parents twice a year. Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls have benefitted from StageCoach since it was launched in 1988. They have not only gone on to performing arts careers but have also been able to transfer the skills learned at StageCoach to study and work in a variety of different professions. StageCoach skills are skills for life!
With schools in 10 countries and over 40,000 students worldwide, there has never been a better time to share in the phenomenal success of this innovative theatre arts business. A StageCoach Theatre Arts Schools franchise is a business opportunity that combines job satisfaction with the capacity to invest for the future.
A huge market
The potential market in the USA is 40 million children. Currently there is little competition offering each of the three musical theatre disciplines of dance, drama and singing in one place and in one weekly session. Indeed, we have found there is such demand that some schools have opened with a full register and a waiting list. For the right person, a StageCoach Theatre Arts School is a chance to combine the ownership of a performing arts school with a significant part-time income. Many franchisees start with a single school and go on to open further schools once the first has filled. For many owners it is now a full-time career.
Superb training
As a new franchisee, you will receive a week's comprehensive and uncomplicated training to operate a StageCoach Theatre Arts School. You will also receive tailored software, manuals and systems which will enable you to effectively run your business professionally and efficiently.
You, the principal
As the principal of your school, you will bring to ityour personal creative and business skillswhich, together with the proven format, will set you on the road to success. While experienced professionals take the classes, principals do not teach. This enables you to focus on the standards of education, discipline, care and control of students.
Outstanding support
Sterling support from dedicated staff at the StageCoach corporate office eases the path and removes much of the pressure of business start-up. But it doesn't stop there. The corporate team is with you every step of the way, from assisting in the selection of the most suitable venue to choosing the best teachers, devising your marketing campaign, setting up your administration system, and more. We support you in every aspect of running and controlling your business. We set our standards high. Existing and past students are our best recommendation and it is our responsibility to them and their parents to ensure that their confidence and communication abilities grow steadily throughout their training.
"I have been involved with StageCoach since 2007 and ran my own schools as a franchisee for 5 years.
