Spirit of Math ranks No. 323 on Canada's 2014 PROFIT 500
PROFIT magazine unveils 26th annual list of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies
TORONTO, June 16, 2014 /CNW/ - Spirit of Math Schools, a leading math enrichment program, ranked 323 among all industries in the 26th annual PROFIT 500, the definitive ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies.
Ranking Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies by five-year revenue growth, the PROFIT 500 profiles the country's most successful growth companies. A joint venture between Canada's premier business brands, the PROFIT 500 is published in the July issue of Canadian Business and online at PROFITguide.com.
Spirit of Math achieved its 2014 ranking on the prestigious list with a five?year revenue growth of 154%.
Kim Langen, Chief Executive Officer of Spirit of Math Schools credits its immense growth on its distinctive teaching methodology and proprietary curriculum that focuses on strong math fundamentals paired with creative problem solving. The Spirit of Math after-school program was designed specifically for high performing students, and now with books available for any level of student, all students are benefiting from this Canadian-made phenomena. Combine that with intensive teacher training, such as what is being done with the Winnipeg School Division, and you have a winning formula. "People are truly excited when they experience something that is meaningful", says Langen, "that is why parents, students and corporate professionals from around the world are asking for more."
This is a company to keep a close eye on, especially with expansion plans into the USA. What makes this even more interesting is that SMS spends less than 2% of total sales on marketing, which points to the fact that this phenomenal growth is driven by parental referrals due to the success of thousands of students over 25 years.
"The members of the PROFIT 500 are the elite of the country's entrepreneurial community," says James Cowan, Editor-in-Chief of Canadian Business and PROFIT. "Their stories are lessons in business strategy, innovation, management excellence and sheer tenacity."
