Starting A Private School

Readers regularly ask me how to start a private school. That's a tough question as there are no 'off the shelf' solutions or easy answers. Each private school is unique. Financing, management, location and market are all important factors in deciding how to proceed. The critical ingredient is vision. Look at the history of the older, established schools and you will discover founders who had a dream. They made that dream a reality. So can you.

Dr. John Friedrick's eloquent piece on his founding of The Conserve School in Wisconsin a few years ago will inspire you. So will the story of Brockton Preparatory School in Vancouver. When people with vision decide to start a private school, exciting things happen.
