Quick Answers
What is OpenKids?
OpenKids is a Singapore-headquartered children's education platform operated by OpenKids International under TAFA Group. It unites four specialist brands — TreeArt (creative arts), Futurum Academy (STEAM and coding), AK Robotics (competition robotics) and GaiaX (global admissions) — on one in-house AI teaching stack, serving children from age 3 to 24 across 12 markets on three continents.
Is OpenKids a franchise, a licence or an education partnership?
OpenKids runs a tiered partnership system rather than a single off-the-shelf franchise. Partners are licensed to operate the brands, curriculum and technology at one of three tiers — Launchpad, Accelerator or Master Partner — each with its own territory, brand count and support scope. The exact legal structure and terms for your market are confirmed in writing during discovery.
Who owns and operates OpenKids?
OpenKids is operated by OpenKids International, the education platform of TAFA Group, headquartered in Singapore. The group runs its own direct campuses across Singapore alongside its partner network — so every playbook handed to partners has been proven in directly operated centres first.
Which education brands are included in a partnership?
Four teaching brands: TreeArt (creative arts, ages 3–16), Futurum Academy (STEAM, coding and AI, ages 4–16), AK Robotics (VEX competition robotics, ages 10–24) and GaiaX (global university admissions, ages 10–24) — plus the in-house technology stack of MagiBox teaching system, MagiDesk teacher console and CRM. Launchpad partners start with two brands; Accelerator and Master Partner tiers carry all four.
