At Sylvan, We Are Building Academic Confidence, Igniting Intellectual Curiosity and Inspiring the Love of Learning
Who Are We?
A fun group of passionate individuals who share a love of education, are self-motivated, innovative, entrepreneurial, and love seeing (and celebrating) our end results, especially child success. We’re a smart and slightly quirky bunch, who function as one big team. If there’s a problem, we all work together to solve it—without hesitation. Whether it’s working together to design the latest STEM program, or searching the office to find where the finance team left the AV remote…we’re all in.

The Culture.
We pride ourselves on delivering results not only for our franchisees, but also for the students in our Centers. We also work very hard to drive a corporate culture that recognizes achievements and allows our teammates to thrive both professionally and personally. On a regular basis, we provide professional development days, financial literacy webinars, health challenges, wellness fairs, and virtual and in-person social events like trivia and happy hours. Giving back to our community is key; to that end, we organize volunteer group service projects for all employees, and we work with Project Pneuma, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Students of the Year program, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore, all of which help youth do more than they ever thought possible.
Our Corporate Headquarters is located in Hunt Valley, MD, but we serve students from around the globe. Our corporate employees live near and far, and with the average tenure of more than 9.5 years, we know our team shares the passion for Sylvan’s mission and the work that we do together.
