About Us
Education for Everyone
When former school principal Kip McGrath and his wife Dugnija
opened the first Kip McGrath Education Centre 30 years ago, their
founding belief was simple; ‘Any child can learn if they are taught
properly’.
Now, an internationally trusted name in the field of private tutoring centres and supplementary education, Kip McGrath Education Centres has over 680 franchises in 20 countries.
Catering to everyone from pre-schoolers to university students,
the Centres' tutoring programs offer advanced learning strategies,
specialist learning skills for those needing a little extra help and
motivation to succeed. Progress is always at the students' own pace and
fun is an essential part of our formula.
Looking ahead has
always been part of our approach – part of our success was being one of
the first educators in the world to understand the potential of
computers and the creation of innovative programs in intelligence
development and school readiness.
Now, as part of the
company’s future growth plans, and firm belief in making private
tutoring available to anyone who needs it, we’re further developing our
educational software and will be launching a range of new online learning courses – backed by face-to-face support through our tutoring centres.
Kip McGrath Education Centres is proud to be partnered with the Institute of Technology Australia (IOTA).
They offer affordable Business and Information Technology degrees via
an innovative online learning model. Students can undertake both
undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, diplomas or certificates that
have practical applications in the business world.
Today
Kip and Dugnija McGrath are still actively involved in the day-to-day
running of the company and are members of the Board. The company’s head
office is based in Newcastle, Australia where it originated.
