Feasibility
Investment Studies
We work with investors to come up with a sound investment study that covers all aspects of creating a new school from hiring to design to the implementation of curricula.
Things we value:
• The power of professional expertise - this is not limited to one area of the school’s operations but to every area from the implementation of curricula to the design and functionality of the facilities.
• Importance of creating a warm family environment at a school. We believe that all stakeholders should be engaged with - especially our students and their parents.
• The use of best practices to constantly improve - we believe that stagnation and education do not go together. That is why we constantly look into ways in which to help our students realize their potential.
• We are strong believers in well rounded education that brings real life learning into the classroom. Academic success is just as important as making sure the character of students are developed to create honest and resilient life-long learners.
Human Resources
Schools are nothing without teachers.
Schools are nothing without the teachers that work in them. Ensuring the hiring of high quality teaching staff will directly lead to great student outcomes and passing rates. New schools need a specialist HR department to find the right staff, at the right time, with the right skills, and most important the right mentality.
We are experts at sourcing and locating the best and brightest teachers and administrators to facilitate the implementation of any curriculum the investor chooses.
Contract templates:
• We provide contract templates
• A salary scale that suits the school
• Remuneration rules which outline how individuals quality for promotions
Recruitment:
• We find the right principal and leadership team to match the investors needs
• We provide job descriptions, advertising, shortlisting, interviews and finally selection
• We provide a teacher registration form that weeds out potential candidates who do not fit the base criteria
Policies, documents, and guidelines:
We provide templates on school handbooks and policies
We work with both local and regional architects to come up with sustainable designs for both the school
and the individual classrooms. This can be done to fit any investment size.
Both function and form are taken into account when designing classrooms to maximize space while
creating areas to help facilitate learning.
Curriculum Design
47 years professional experience, and counting
We work hand in hand with investors to implement any curriculum of their choosing. We have over 47 years of experience in implementing the American high school curriculum, the International Baccalaureate including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the Diploma Programme (DP) and the local curriculum.
We work with both teachers and administrators to give them the training they need to feel confident in implementing the mission and vision of the school from day one.
We work with certified instructors from Harvard and Columbia to better equip teachers to handle any type of scenario that they may face.
Our belief is that just like our students, our teachers should be on a lifelong learning journey to better understand how to impart knowledge on the students they teach. That is why teacher professional development is at the heart of what we do.
During the outbreak of COVID19, we developed a training course to facilitate online learning using the Eastwood platform to ensure that student learning does not stop.
School Management
Staying up-to-date in the education sector
We have over 47 years of experience in the Middle East of managing all aspects of schools, ranging from curriculum selection and implementation, financial management, marketing, operations, quality assurance, and professional recruitment and professional development of teachers.
Our team has successfully developed solutions to the challenges of working within a rapidly evolving sector while staying up to date with technological developments in the education sector and pedagogical best practices. As the region continues to evolve, schools must implement local solutions that satisfy both governmental and parental demands.
Due to our history in managing schools, we understand the challenges schools face and how best to overcome them while maintaining the balance between the owners, investors, administrators, teachers, parents and students.
