2016 Leaders Day Talk | 33:49:00 | Fundraising & Development, Leadership & Strategic, Marketing & Growth
Summary
Starting a new school is one of the most exciting and challenging endeavors that a small group of parents and teachers can take on. Even with wonderful start-up guides and books, there is much to think about when establishing a new school in a community where classical education is not understood. I have had the privilege of walking alongside several new and young schools. There are some common themes and cautions that can be helpful to the next start-up. This workshop will review critical aspects that should be dealt with early on so that the new school is building on a strong foundation.
