This turnkey opportunity is for Sylvan Learning of Springfield, MO — a profitable, nationally recognized K–12 tutoring and test-prep franchise with a 30+ year community presence. Located in south Springfield near Walmart Super Center South, the 1,960 sq ft leased facility serves approximately 70 active students and offers programs for Kindergarten through High School, including reading, writing, math, study skills, homework support, ACT/SAT prep, STEM/coding and seasonal camps. Students receive a personalized plan based on an initial assessment; instruction is typically delivered in small groups (about 3 students to 1 teacher) by a team of certified educators.

The operation includes two onsite Directors (who teach, lead local marketing and support Prometric activities), four to five instructors, and two teacher assistants. The affiliated Prometric testing center is staffed by one Prometric director and three employees who manage phone support for both locations, assist with Sylvan projects/events, and administer third-party professional and certification tests (CPA, medical, automotive, and others), providing a complementary revenue stream.

Financially strong and well-run: current annual revenue $413,000 with approximately $100,000 in cash flow. The center is fully equipped with computers, educational materials and office furnishings and comes with established local branding, steady student enrollment, and an experienced staff able to support a smooth ownership transition. Monthly rent is $3,900.

Why this is a strong buy:
- Recognized franchise brand, proprietary curriculum and ongoing franchise support for efficient operations
- Diverse, resilient revenue mix: K–12 supplemental instruction, high-stakes test prep and Prometric testing services
- Family-focused, high-visibility location with capacity to add students
- Experienced local team and turnkey systems in place for immediate operation
- Clear growth opportunities through increased local marketing, school partnerships (Activate MO), expanded hours and additional programs

Well-suited for an owner-operator or investor looking to grow enrollment and expand community partnerships in a proven education business.
