I was wondering if any of you have been involved in the creation of a school. I am specifically trying to research sources of funding in order to create the school. Any help or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Last edited by giftedteacheraz; 01/19/10 01:54 PM.

My hunch is that there are currently undeserved kids in your area who's parents might provide some support. Another way to go about it is to start with afterschool enrichment or preschool and grow from there. Best Wishes, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com
