School Start-Up
From the first feasibility conversation to opening day. Vision and ethos, staffing structures, timetables, admissions and the policies a new school needs before its first student arrives.
Talk to usEDUCATION CONSULTANTS / ACROSS ASIA
We are a network of teachers and school leaders who have done the job. We help you open, shape and strengthen your school, online or in person, wherever you are in Asia.
Five areas. Practitioners in every one.
From the first feasibility conversation to opening day. Vision and ethos, staffing structures, timetables, admissions and the policies a new school needs before its first student arrives.
Talk to usCurriculum frameworks, assessment and the written policies that hold a school together, shaped to your context, your regulators and your community.
Talk to usCoaching for principals, middle leaders and those stepping up. Recruitment, induction, appraisal and the hard conversations, from people who have led schools themselves.
Talk to usAn honest look at teaching, learning and leadership, then a practical plan your staff can own. We stay alongside you while it takes hold.
Talk to usNew phases, a second campus, rising enrolment. Growth planned so that it protects the culture that made your school worth choosing.
Talk to usOpening, establishing, improving or growing. Pick your stage and see where we usually help first.
Find your stageFour stages, built around your school.
We start with conversations: leaders, staff and, where it helps, students and parents. What is working, what is not, and what you want to be true next year.
CONVERSATIONSWe look at the evidence with the people closest to it, in classrooms and in documents, and agree together what matters most.
EVIDENCEA clear written plan with owners, timelines and a shared picture of what success looks like. Short enough that people actually use it.
WRITTEN PLANCoaching, training and regular check-ins while the plan becomes everyday practice. Online, on site, or a mix of both.
ONLINE OR ON SITEBetween us we have spent many years in the classroom and in the principal’s office. We know what a Monday morning feels like.
Choose a stage. See where we usually start.
You have a vision and perhaps a site. You need structures, policies, a curriculum and the right people in place before the doors open.
Talk About Your SchoolTeachers and school leaders, across Asia.
We are not a call centre with a slide deck. Every engagement is led by consultants who have taught, led and built schools, chosen for the experience that fits yours.
Advice when you need a second opinion. A partner when you need more than that.
Every school starts somewhere different, so we shape the work around you. One call, a term of coaching, a staff training day or a full consultancy project.
Start a ConversationA first conversation is about listening. Tell us where your school is and what you want to change, and we will suggest how we could help.
What schools usually ask first.
Both. Coaching and advice often work well online. Reviews, training days and start-up planning usually benefit from time on site. Many schools use a mix.
We support schools across the Asia region. Tell us where you are and we will tell you how we can work with you there.
Yes. School start-up is one of our core areas: vision, structures, policies, curriculum and staffing, planned before the first student arrives.
Consultants from our network with classroom and school leadership experience in the area you need. We introduce them before any work begins.
It depends on what you need, from a single advice session to a full project. We quote once we understand your school, so the first step is a conversation.
