We will provide you with a complete School Start-up Roadmap from your initial idea to that successful opening first day of your new school.
What’s Your Idea?
Through a series of questions, we walk you through various options that will help you crystallize your ideas for a new school. Included will be links to some of the top schools in the nation representing different approaches to personalized learning.
Get Organized
Setting up your organization right is one of the first keys to success -- from deciding whether to be nonprofit or for profit and how to set up a governance structure that works. Included in this module are templates and tools to complete your 501c3 application and a Texas charter school application.
