Encore Proprietary Curriculum
Encore Franchisees have access to our proprietary curriculums. Each center has flexibility to select the programs that best fit their instructors and local desires, as well as to add in their own class types, with approval.
Our curriculums provide a proven system of success while allowing a framework for creativity to grow and flourish within each field.
Inclusive, joy-based, and excellence-inspiring, these curriculums are formed by taking the skills real-world creative professionals use and breaking them into processes that a range of learning styles can relate to. Developed from the experience of our founder-director, who has a remarkable track record of student retention*, these methods have been seasoned with input from our diverse team of instructors. We are confident in the power of these programs and believe your community will be, too.
