Consulting
Start Up School Advisor
Overview:
The School Start-Up Advisor program pairs an experienced ACCS resource consultant with a core group seeking to start an ACCS school. The typical offering begins with two conference calls to familiarize the consultant with the specific situation. These calls are followed by a 1 day, on-site visit. The specific activities conducted during the on-site visit will include a focused presentation addressing the key aspects of starting a school (using the School Start-Up Notebook as a guide) and a sustained question and answer session with the entire core team. Another staple of the visit will be a meeting with prospective parents to present the classical and Christian educational vision and benefits and to answer questions.
Additional on-site visits, beyond the initial visit, are outside the scope of this service but can be accommodated provided the consultant is willing and able. The on-site visit will be followed by regular conference calls to monitor progress and provide advice and counsel. The number of calls will depend upon the specific need but should not exceed two per month unless otherwise agreed.
When:
- A core group has just been formed and is ready to begin the process of starting a school
- A school start-up effort has been underway for a while but is not progress and needs help determining how to regain forward momentum
Fees: $400
There are two components to the fee structure:
- Fees for the initial visit (and prep time) assume two 2-hour conference calls, four additional hours in preparation for the site visit, billed together as Day 1
- Eight (8) hours on-site, billed as Day 2
Expenses: All out-of-pocket expenses, such as travel and housing, are billed as incurred.
Total cost for The Start-Up School Advisor = $400 ($200/day x 2) + out-of-pocket expenses.
