The Lekha Way - A truly innovative way to teach children how to write and think creatively and critically. Available Now!Lekha is actively recruiting franchise partners who are passionate about writing, creativity, and education and can replicate the Lekha model in their own communities. New Lekha franchises can start by being operated in Parks and Recreation Centers, local schools, Education franchise opportunity franchisee's homes, or other small spaces. Once established the franchisee can open a freestanding Lekha location. The Lekha franchise model is easily duplicated with a low initial investment and low overhead. Franchise partners will be provided with our time-tested curriculum and tools for success to help them implement classes, camps, and workshops for children and teens. We are ready to share our expertise with our franchise partners so they too can share their love of writing with the students.
