Starting a Christian private school in your community is an exciting yet challenging endeavor. It requires assembling a team of like-minded individuals who can work as a team on:

  1. Surveying parents and seeing if there is enough interest to launch a private school;
  2. Researching what it takes to operate a private school;
  3. Deciding on a curriculum option;
  4. Creating a school calendar, schedule, and policies;
  5. Finding the best technology to support student learning;
  6. Planning to advertise the school;
  7. Determining the budget needed to start and maintain the school;
  8. Meeting your state requirements for facility use for your school;
  9. Registering with the state education department and applicable agencies;
  10. Hiring and training the faculty and staff and planning your school Open House!

There is no question that starting a Christian school takes time, effort, and commitment. However, it can provide an invaluable service to families in your area looking for a private education with Christian values. When thoughtfully planned and implemented, a Christian school can be a beneficial addition to your community.
