Question
I would like to start a private Montessori school, ideally going up to 8th grade and probably starting with kindergarten rather than preschool. I like and believe in the Montessori education system and I am clear about what I would like the school to offer families in terms of education, programs/activities, environment, etc.
I don't know what the revenue model is for a private school, how hard it is to hire and retain good teachers and staff, and how to navigate the regulatory requirements. I do have a good sense already about how to market the school (local events, local family magazines, networking, etc.) and how to maintain quality (training, parental feedback, classroom observation, etc.), so I'm less concerned about those aspects.
In my area of Southern California, I've seen a lot of private schools, including Montessori schools, fill up with pupils, so I presume there is high demand for this type of quality education but I don't know how well the schools do financially.
