School Management

Keep your school.
Hand off the operations.

For boards and owners who want to stay in charge of the mission and stop carrying admissions, finance, staffing, and compliance alone.

What we manage.

The same central team that runs our own two schools, working for yours under a management agreement.

  • Admissions and enrollment marketing

    Brand, website, advertising, inquiry follow-up, tours, and re-enrollment, run through EnrollmentGenius, our in-house enrollment firm.

  • Finance and budgeting

    Annual budgets, tuition and fee structures, monthly reporting to the board, audits, and the financing plan for capital projects.

  • Staffing and leadership support

    Recruiting, hiring, compensation, benefits, and a head of school who has a team behind them instead of an inbox.

  • Accreditation and compliance

    Self-studies, site visits, state reporting, and the standards work that keeps a school in good standing with its accreditors.

  • Facilities and vendors

    Maintenance, food service, transportation, technology, and every contract a school signs.

Ownership and governance stay where they are. The operations move to us.

How it works.

  1. Assessment

    We spend time on campus and in the numbers, then tell the board plainly where the school is strong and where it is exposed.

  2. A plan and an agreement

    A written operating plan with targets, and a management agreement that spells out what we do, what it costs, and how it ends if either side wants it to.

  3. Quarterly accountability

    Enrollment, finances, staffing, and accreditation, reported to the board every quarter against the plan.

Questions we hear first.

What does a school management company do?

It runs the business side of a school on behalf of its board or owner: admissions and enrollment marketing, budgeting and finance, hiring and benefits, accreditation and state reporting, facilities and vendors. The board keeps governance and the mission. The head of school keeps the school. The management company carries the operations and reports on them.

Do we give up ownership or our board?

No. Ownership and governance stay exactly where they are. A management agreement sets out what we do, what it costs, how we report, and how it ends if either side wants it to.

Can you fix our enrollment?

That is usually where we start. Our own enrollment firm, EnrollmentGenius, rebuilds the brand, the website, the advertising, and the admissions operation. Each of our campuses now sees more than 500 qualified inquiries a year.

Can you help with accreditation?

Yes. Self-studies, site visits, standards work, and state reporting. Thirty-five years inside Florida’s independent-school community, including its accreditation standards.

What does it cost?

A management fee set out in the agreement and scaled to the school, structured as a percentage of tuition revenue or a fixed annual fee. We put the number in writing before anyone signs anything.

How does it end?

The agreement has a term and a way out for either side. A school should stay because the arrangement works, not because it is stuck.

“The point of a school isn’t to fill a child with answers. It’s to make them hungry for questions.”
