The answer

The jurists differentiate between that which is intended and that which is ancillary and not intended, being more lenient with the latter. The sounds accompanying the educational material fall under what is tolerated, though avoiding them is safer. It is obligatory to cease commercial insurance and the use of non-original software, due to the latter infringing upon the rights of its owners, rights that are recognized by Islamic law. If these issues are rectified, then the profit earned from the center is lawful, while striving to rectify the remaining prohibitions.
