School of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education, has been named the Grand Champion of the 2023 Global Franchise Awards, the most prestigious Global Franchise award. This award is given to one winner who has distinguished themselves most in the franchising industry in the opinion of the judges. In addition, School of Rock once again solidified its position as the leading children's service and education franchise for the third consecutive year.

"Winning the Grand Champion title against such strong competition is a testament to the exceptional quality and success of our network," said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. "Our outstanding franchisees, school teams, and corporate support staff have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to sharing the transformative experience of performance-based music education and our internationally recognized business model. It is their dedication that has enabled us to achieve this recognition, and we are proud to work alongside them as we continue to expand and grow."

The Global Franchise Awards, now in its sixth year, seek to honor the most exceptional franchise brands and spread awareness about franchising. The accolade School of Rock accepted highlights the brand's highly differentiated model, track record of success, and additional global scalability.
