RTL Partners
Bring the RTL English curriculum to your region.
We are recruiting master licensees to distribute a complete 15-level reading curriculum across Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Central America.
The product
Why RTL English
A structured 15-level English curriculum taking learners from first sounds to university-ready communication. Built once, proven in market since 1996, now ready for international distribution through master licensee partnerships.
Proven curriculum
Five stages, fifteen levels, 540 lessons — a clear long-term pathway for ages 3 to 18 across reading, writing, grammar and critical thinking.
Phonics-first methodology
Synthetic-phonics foundation with sequenced reading and writing milestones at every level. Designed for non-native-English learners in ESL contexts.
Print and digital
Workbook-led programme that runs equally well in low-tech classrooms and tablet-first environments. Adaptable to your local delivery model.
Built to be localised
Content stays in English. Brand, packaging, marketing and the partner portal are localised by you, with our support.

A coherent pathway from first sounds to university-ready communication. Each stage builds on the last, so partners do not need to source or align fragmented curricula themselves.

The pitch
Why partners choose RTL
Master licensees sell to schools, school networks and parents. They need a curriculum that holds together across every grade and that they can confidently stand behind for the length of a multi-year licence.
A single sequenced pathway
Replaces the fragmented mix of workbooks, apps and teacher-made materials that schools typically assemble. Partners do not need to bridge gaps or re-sequence third-party content.
Consistent quality across every level
Every level shares the same pedagogical backbone, vocabulary progression and assessment style, so learners do not stall at a transition point and teachers do not relearn a new system each year.
Built for non-native learners
Synthetic-phonics foundations, scaffolded writing milestones and ESL-aware sequencing make the curriculum deployable in classrooms where English is the second language.
Localised without forking the curriculum
The content stays in English. Brand, marketing, packaging and the partner portal are localised by the partner with our support — you keep cultural control without maintaining a parallel curriculum.
Long-term product moat
Curriculum, methodology and lesson artefacts are continuously updated and shared with active partners. New competitors enter with a single book; you ship an entire 540-lesson system.
Aligned with the parent brand
Same brand, same pedagogy, same logo. Partners inherit 30 years of parent-brand recognition instead of building trust from zero.
The deal
