Starting a Small School 101

A practical PDF guide with worksheets to plan, open and run a small private school, nursery or tuition centre

Open your school with a plan, not a hope. Many new schools struggle because they open before the rules are checked, with too few pupils to pay the teachers, and without clear fee and safeguarding policies. This guide walks you through each decision in order, with worked examples you can copy.

Please read: what it is and isn't

This is general education written to be useful anywhere in the world. It is not legal, accounting, tax or education-authority advice, and makes no promise of profit, enrolment or results. Requirements for registering and running a school differ by country, region and school type; confirm them with your education authority and a qualified adviser before you enrol children. All numbers in the examples are illustrations.

Requirements

Any device that opens a PDF. The worksheets can be printed or filled in on screen.

Frequently asked questions

Is it specific to one country?
No. It uses neutral examples and any currency, and tells you which questions to ask your local authority rather than quoting local law.

Is there a spreadsheet?
No, this is a PDF guide. For a workbook to manage students, fees, attendance and grades, see our School Admin Starter Kit.

What about refunds?
You have a 60-day return policy. Refunds are handled by Digistore24, the reseller.
