Class 101 is a college planning franchise dedicated to helping high school students navigate the college admissions process with confidence. Since 1997, the brand has guided thousands of students through every stage of planning for higher education, providing personalized support that helps them identify the right colleges, strengthen their applications, and prepare for academic success.

About
A Personalized Approach to College Success
Class 101 works with students over several years of high school, creating customized plans based on each student's strengths, interests, and aspirations. Counselors meet regularly with students to establish goals, monitor progress, and ensure important application milestones are met.
The comprehensive planning process helps students become stronger college applicants while reducing stress for both students and parents. By starting early, students gain more time to prepare academically and personally for college admissions.

Helping Students Stand Out
Class 101 focuses on developing well-rounded applicants by encouraging leadership, community involvement, academic achievement, and meaningful extracurricular activities. Franchise owners help students build competitive resumes, craft compelling essays, and highlight the unique qualities that distinguish them during the admissions process.
The program emphasizes personalized mentorship, ensuring every student receives individualized guidance throughout their college planning journey.
Meeting an Important Community Need
Many students receive limited individualized college planning through traditional school counseling programs. Class 101 fills this gap by providing dedicated support that helps families better understand the college admissions process and prepare students for long-term success.
With increasing demand for college planning services, franchise owners have the opportunity to become trusted educational resources within their communities while making a meaningful impact on students' futures.

New franchisees receive immersive onboarding and access to established processes covering business operations, student services, marketing, and client management.
Ongoing support includes operational guidance, marketing resources, business development assistance, and access to a network of experienced franchise owners who share best practices and industry knowledge.
Ideal Franchise Owners
Class 101 welcomes entrepreneurs who are passionate about education and making a positive difference in their communities. Previous experience in education or college counseling is not required. The franchise is well suited for individuals with leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills who enjoy mentoring young people and helping families achieve important educational goals.
Owners benefit from a relationship-focused business model that allows them to build lasting connections with students, parents, schools, and community organizations while operating a meaningful education business.
