Make it your business to teach drama!

Click Here To Request a free Helen O'Grady Drama Academy Franchise Pack

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy affords an opportunity for energetic and enthusiastic teachers to run a business which allows contact with children, school holidays free and an attractive income. The Academy offers a self development programme and a fun way to teach English as a foreign language through a carefully constructed drama curriculum.

A Principal within our organisation will:

  • be self-employed
  • work flexible hours - mostly to suit personal circumstances
  • only work in school term time - leaving valuable time for family
  • be part of an international network with plenty of communication and support
  • be provided with a structured drama curriculum which is constantly revised and updated
  • receive comprehensive training and reassuring financial assistance
  • enjoy an attractive income


Each will run an independent business, working from an office at home and teaching classes in their local community. Interest in and enthusiasm for drama is far more important than formal drama training. Other Principals in Europe have found the unique Helen O'Grady programme an excellent way of encouraging English as a foreign language and so, very atttractive to schools.

A great amount of time has been spent developing a unique curriculum encompassing an extensive range of drama activities, designed to capture the imagination of children of all ages and to develop confident, articulate young people who desire to make a positive contribution to the community. Classes cover speech, movement, creative drama, language development and studio productions. They are great fun!

All territories are exclusive. With good teaching, smart administration and excellent marketing and promotion the possibilities are endless. The growth of a branch is limited only by the Principal's creativity and imagination.

6 Steps to successfully buying a franchise.

Step 1. Decide what area of franchising you want to buy into. What are your skills and experience? Take down some notes, mental or otherwise and highlight your strong points. Deciding what area of franchising you want to buy into is a good step to ensuring you succeed in the franchise opportunity you purchase.

Step 2. Finances, how much money can you invest? Many banks offer great franchise financing packages and some franchisors may even lend you the money themselves but be aware that these need paid back and banks charge high interest. The more capital you have up front the better. The type of franchise you buy will depend heavily on how much you are willing to invest.

Step 3. Search the internet - franchise directories such as this one can give you a broad range of franchise opportunities and ideas from the one portal, making your job easier. You can order multiple franchise packs from the franchise opportunities on display which gives you all the material you will need to make an informed decision.

Step 4. Search the internet again - once you have looked through the franchise packs and have short listed a few, do some Google searches on them. Can you find unhappy franchisees with bad things to say about them? If not that's a good sign for there are many websites out there which are there for the sole purpose of displaying bad reports "rip off reports". Be sure that the franchises you are interested in are of a high calibre.

Step 5. Contact the franchisors you have short listed and request a meeting. You need to be prepared for this, come armed with some questions. Ask for lists of current franchisees and their phone numbers, how long they have been in business, expected turnover etc. They will of course only give you the good and every franchisor has failed franchisees but it is something you can certainly work from.

Step 6. Review the franchisors you have had meetings with and choose the best franchise opportunity that you think will work for you. This may be a hard decision, many may have impressed you but in the end it is a personal decision. Remember, this is your hard earned cash you are parting with so do not go out on a whim. Do your research and you will come out the other end with a great business to support you and your family.
