About Stemtree

"Stemtree

The STEMTREE franchise model offers education services that focus on the core curricula of science, technology, and engineering.
STEMTREE’s programs nurture each student’s inner scientist through innovative, engaging, and hands-on learning experience, built upon a solid foundation of scientific curricula, giving each student the edge for success in today’s schools and the world.
Whether achieving higher grades in the classroom, helping students become successful science professionals or engineers, or simply instilling and cultivating an appreciation and a deep understanding of science and technology, STEMTREE offers after-school programs, with or without student pick-ups, one-on-one tutoring, educational camps, home-school study programs, and even birthday parties and event-based programs.
Stemtree was founded on the idea that nothing is more important than enriching the lives of others; now we want to extend that service to our franchisees.
Stemtree has a strong potential ROI for a franchise owner. With reasonable overhead and a low startup cost for the education industry, the concept is financially sound. We do not guarantee any success or levels of profitability, but with a large margin for error, a franchisee can be much less effective than our projections and still have a successful business.

STEMTREE’s business model requires a fixed commercial location comprising approximately 1,500 to 2,500 square feet of space.
