TORONTO, April 14, 2025 –
Inspiration Learning Center, a pioneering Canadian education brand with 23 years of empowering students, proudly announces it has secured the Gold Grand Prize in the Traditional Franchises (6-15 Franchises) category at the 2025 Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) Awards of Excellence in Franchising. The award was presented during the CFA National Convention Awards Gala Dinner at Sheraton Fallsview in Niagara Falls, Ontario, celebrating Inspiration’s exceptional franchisee support, innovative educational programs, and commitment to inclusivity.
For over two decades, Inspiration Learning Center has been a beacon of academic excellence, offering expert tutoring, accredited high school credits, full diploma programs, and a distinctive publishing line designed for diverse learners. Serving Canadian and international families, the brand has earned widespread trust for its personalized approach to education. Its dedication to fostering inclusive environments also led to recognition from the Ontario government with an award for diversity and inclusion leadership.
The CFA Awards of Excellence in Franchising honor franchise systems that excel in building strong franchisee relationships through outstanding training, communication, and leadership. Inspiration Learning Center rose above a competitive pool of CFA member brands, with winners selected based on franchisee satisfaction surveys conducted by the Portage Group, an independent research firm.
“We’re incredibly proud to receive this prestigious award, which reflects the heart and soul we pour into our work,” said Angel Kuang, representative of Inspiration Learning Center. “Our franchisees are the backbone of our mission, and together, we’ve created a nurturing space where students can discover their potential. This recognition inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of what education can achieve.”
Inspiration’s win places it among Canada’s franchising elite, alongside McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada (Traditional Franchises Grand Prize) and EverLine Coatings and Services (Non-Traditional Franchises Grand Prize). The awards also celebrated individual franchisees, with COBS Bread’s Sarah Lisk and Hickory Dickory Decks’ Greg O’Brien named Franchisees of the Year for their remarkable contributions.
“Being recognized by the CFA is a testament to the trust and collaboration we’ve built with our franchisees,” added Angel Kuang. “We’re excited to continue growing, innovating, and making a lasting impact on students’ lives across Canada and beyond.”
Inspiration Learning Center remains focused on expanding its footprint, enhancing its educational offerings, and creating opportunities for both students and franchisees to succeed.
