Write job descriptions, personal files, benefits, and pay scales for your staff and faculty and administration. Your Head will drive the enrollment campaign and marketing, and the initial decisions for resources and staffing. When hiring staff, make sure they understand the mission and how much work it takes to start a school. It’s invaluable to attract great faculty; in the end it’s the staff that will make or breaks the school. To attract great staff you need to ensure that you have a competitive compensation package.
Prior to operating the school you should at least have a Head of School and receptionist hired to begin marketing and admissions. Depending on your start-up capital, you may also want to hire a Business Manager, Director of Admissions, Director of Development and Department Heads.
