“ALOHA is very proud to announce the opening of its 100th center here in the US. But for the continued support and encouragement of our franchisees, students, parents and teachers this would not have been possible and I would like to thank each and every one of you.THANK YOU!

Franchisees work hard in upholding the quality of ALOHA program. It is due to their continuous contribution that ALOHA is growing at such a fast pace.

Our franchisees and their staff constantly share their thoughts and ideas to improve
the curriculum, training and enhance teaching methodologies. I would like to
recognize their hard work and passion in building our organization by maintaining the highest quality of service. Thank you.

I would like to thank all ALOHA graduates who, as it were, “The success stories of
ALOHA.” It is them who motivate our students to give it all they have. Thank you!

Dedicated parents always bring successful children, which is evident in our students,
my sincere thanks to all parents.

Ms. Rama

The director of the first location, Ms.Rama who has been operating the center for the past 4 years shares her thoughts and experience.

Establishing the first location of ALOHA was both challenging and rewarding at the same time. Adherence to quality and ensuring every student receives the benefit of
this program has been our goal from the day one and continues to be till today. Though operating an ALOHA center requires a large amount of time and effort, it
provides great personal satisfaction and growth. You also get the benefit of being part of the ever growing ALOHA team, meet equally passionate people and share their
experiences. It can’t be any more rewarding.

It is greatly satisfying to see the benefits of the program as we hear from parents how their child has moved up a grade or two in Math or joined an honors program. For some children, it is their overall school performance is improving; how a student with difficulty in focusing, has become more independent in finishing their schoolwork. I am very proud to see our parents become ambassadors for our program.

We are very excited and proud to sign the 100th franchise of ALOHA and our third center. We have been operating ALOHA for over 2 years and we opened our
first location, Ashburn, VA in Feb 2008 and we were very happy with the training and support from Corporate ALOHA. Being one of the initial franchised locations, our confidence in the program and the franchise quadrupled as we saw students’ performance in the concept and its rippling effect in their academics. This inspired us to extend our reach to the community by adding another location, South Riding, VA in Feb 2009. We received an overwhelming response from parents and it was a very successful launch. As parents realize the benefits of the program as they graduate, we
expect the retention to be good going forward.

As young women entrepreneurs, we find that being self-employed gives us a certain amount of freedom and more flexibility in our daily lives. I'm able to spend enough time with my family and at the same time run my business successfully. As a small business, we ran into so many challenges to make it successful, now we have two centers in
Northern Virginia. We are very much looking forward to open the new center in Herndon. We are very positive that the Herndon center will do extremely good with our experience with the previous two centers.

ALOHA DAY

Every year, the ALOHA Day enables all franchisees, students and parents come together as an annual meet as a part of a grand event. It is a day long event with competition, variety shows for children, recognizing teachers and franchisees, student
graduation and award ceremony. Students from across centers compete against each other in the Math Olympiad. Students start
preparing for the competition 3-4 months prior to the event. In 2007/08, the Olympiad ended with some interesting and
exciting tie breakers amongst the students for declaring winners.

Last couple of years we pushed the limits by doubling the number of questions to 100 for 5 minutes, & the students rose to the challenge. Nonetheless we had tiebreakers as many kids attended 100 problems in 5 minutes.

The practice session prior to the Olympiad has been very helpful in boosting children confidence level immensel and they tackle advance leve much easily. For the year 2011, we are planning the ALOHA Day as a day event in a 72,000 sq fee
state-of-the-art facility with new exciting shows and programs We expect 2000 kids to participate in the Olympiad an
expect 25,000 people attendin the event.
