Benefits of Partnering with SchoolStart
Experience in Partnering: SchoolStart knows how to be a partner organization devoted to developing the capacity and success of our partner schools. We are deeply committed to developing the capacity and the success of the school.
Success Rate: SchoolStart can not promise a 100% success rate in the future. However, our extensive experience has led to sound strategic decisions and to managing the start-up work plan with the necessary balance of structure and flexibility. This experience greatly increases the likelihood of success when SchoolStart is a partner.
Non-Profit: SchoolStart is an established non-profit trusted to focus on its mission first and to appropriately place its financial viability as only one of many elements necessary for success. As a non-profit, SchoolStart qualifies for all start-up foundation and federal grants available to charter schools.
Accelerated Development: SchoolStart’s experience enables charter schools to accelerate their development timeframe without losing quality. Many charter school founding groups lose the energy and commitment needed to see the start-up process through to completion. An appropriately accelerated start-up process energizes founders as they see results with students within a few years.
Specialists in Developing People and Organizations: Charter schools are only as good as the people in them and the school organization which supports their work. Our staff specializes in developing both people and organizations. This not only benefits the school, it also helps them to develop other organizations within their community.
