Under the GUI Academy Inc. Franchise

About Under the GUI Academy Inc.

Under the GUI (UTG) Academy is a learning academy focusing on STEM programs for Grades 1-12 students. We aspire to create an environment that inspires kids to innovate, think critically, and create with technologies on the fringe of our hi-tech culture. Our teachers encourage students to expand their limitless creativity through the creation of video games, apps and traditional software using the same tools used by professionals in the field.

Values & History

"GUI" stands for graphical user interface, or the "graphics". By getting "under" the interface, we learn about the processes that control it. As the developer for their games, our students have the opportunity to find their innovative potential through our curriculum as they progressively master their skills in Python, C#, HTML/CSS, JavaScript and Java, using PixelPAD.io, Unity3D and Visual Studio.

We believe that learning should be fun and most of all applicable. By giving our students a way to apply their knowledge, students tend to have more fun, leading to an authentic, educational experience that fosters long-term memory and the initiative to continue furthering their potential.

Industry Performance

Why Us?

If you're achievement motivated, looking for a side gig where you can choose your own hours, possess skills in education and want a higher salary, owning a Franchise can help you build a foundation for something greater.

Having a side gig allows teachers to make a greater income, learn new skills and it's fun. Starting our business is addictive. You work for yourself; you are your own boss and your efforts are reflected in your income.

UTG Academies only operates during after-school hours so you won't need to make that extra commute to meet clients or "do business" it's all run during the hours you're already on site. We love to work with educators because they love what they do, but rarely are their efforts reflected in the income they make. When you own your own business, the harder you work, the more you make. Owning your own franchise gives you back control of your financial health and well-being.

Teaching is a skill that requires years of practice, passion, and mastery. It cannot be achieved in a week-long workshop that's why we are looking for business owners that are also great teachers. We believe our business leaders should be passionate about our youth, love education and love educating students for the future.

Training & Support

Owning a franchise means we'll help you set up, get your business up and running, we'll take care of the boring stuff, some marketing and the rest will be in your hands.
