Stack is a multipurpose theme at heart, which means it lends itself to many niches with ease – and as you can see by the marvellous education demo, its the perfect theme for creating a high quality homepage in no time.

4. Polytechnic | Powerful Education, Courses & Events
Although Polytechnic is one of the older themes on this list, its design still stands up today and offers a timeless, classic flat design making it the ideal, muted base for any kind of Education establishment.
Polytechnic is bundled with Visual Composer and Revolution Slider which make it a great value, however the theme also supports WooCommerce’s awesome premium course plugin Sensei so not only is it perfect for showcasing classes and event etc, with a little investment you can also use it to power a fully fledged course site too.

5. Fable – Children Kindergarten WordPress Theme
We are taking things in a younger direction with our next pick, Fable from themeforest power-elite author QuanticaThemes.
So who is Fable for? Well, as the title implies the theme has been designed with a specific niche in mind which makes it the ideal theme for Kindergartens, nurseries and more. One thing to note however is the theme does not use Visual Composer, which may put some folks off, however QuanticaThemes include a similar page builder which is essentially the same to use so it should be familiar to anyone who is used to VC.
6. University – Education, Event and Course Theme
University from Cactus themes offers a few different possibility in one, well made package. The theme can be used to host details and times for classes and courses and much more thanks to some key plugin support.
As far as the theme goes, its a typical Visual Composer affair all wrapped up in a clean, timeless design – however thanks to the plugins built in support for LearnDash (a popular learning management plugin) as well as BBPress, you can use this theme to create an entire online community or business.

7. Education Pack – Education Learning Theme WP
Next up we have a first time mention for ThemeForest author nicdark with there theme, Education Pack.
Education Pack’s main feature is its bespoke LMS (Learning Management System) plugin which the author bundles with the theme. This means you can utilize the design and flexibility of Education Pack whilst keeping your key content separate, which is ideal if you think you may wish to switch themes in future – however with the usual refinements such as Visual Composer supports Education Pack should see you right for many years to come.

8. Universo – Powerful Education, Courses & Events
Stepping away from the whole LMS thing with our next entry, Universo from OceanThemes is a more focused and subtle offering but one which I think provided a unique value with its very professional design.
Despite having a name which could be mistaken for a high-powered cleaning fluid, Universo makes my list thanks for its classic, no-nonsense approach to themeing, which is quite refreshing in this day and age, The theme is powered by industry go-to, Visual Composer, so its simple to use, however its the sleek design which despite already being over 2 years old, it looks just as striking today and will no doubt give your education business a profession feel for years to come.
