Leading Franchised Tutoring Brand joins Forces with Canada’s Largest Career College Network

Richmond Hill, ON – October 26, 2017 – Today, EdTech company LaunchLife International Inc. (LaunchLife), announced that they have expanded their education franchise network with the purchase of School Is Easy Tutoring (SIE). SIE started over 15 years ago in the Vancouver area, it has grown into a successful and experienced franchised tutoring network with 13 locations in Canada, and it is committed to delivering professional tutoring to K-12 students.

Of the company’s recent acquisition, LaunchLife CEO Darryl Simsovic said,

“I and the LaunchLife team are very excited to build off of the momentum which currently exists with the School Is Easy franchise partner group. They have built a long and outstanding relationship within the communities they serve and we are now very excited to, together, propel School Is Easy to become Canada’s leader in the tutoring world and to expand the brand
internationally.”

Susan Cumberland, founder of School Is Easy said,

“I am pleased and excited to be handing over School Is Easy to LaunchLife. With over 30 years in the educational field, they are experienced and focused on the success of the student, the growth of the School Is Easy network, and continued success of our franchise partners. I know they will continue to carry on our vision of empowering students to succeed.”

LaunchLife’s mission is to improve the lives of learners from early childhood education to employment. It achieves this by leveraging technology, professionalism, and a team that embraces the concept of lifelong learning to provide learners with access to state of the art education in the communities in which they live.

The acquisition of School Is Easy is just one more milestone in the journey to do just that:

• 30 years ago, in 1987, LaunchLife founded the franchise organization, Academy of Learning Career
College (AOLCC);

• AOLCC pioneered the Integrated Learning System ILS® and is now Canada’s largest network of career
colleges with over 50 franchised campuses offering over 30 diploma programs and a vast number
certificate programs;

• 18 months ago, AOLCC underwent a complete rebranding, stepping into the 21st Century with a new
look, feel and the implementation of Canada’s leading learning management system;

• School Is Easy is one of the few tutoring companies to employ only provincially qualified teachers
following the provincial curriculum.
