The following question is from Brianna L.
“I am a high school student who teaches creative writing at a co-op. This is my first year teaching a group of children (grades 3rd-8th.) I am learning so much this year!
I am interested in possibly starting a small school for Pre-K through 3rd-grade once I graduate, and I am starting to plan now. I have the vision, determination, and I see the need. But, I don’t know all the technical stuff to get it started. The vision is to have an every day, academic (but fun) environment in which a firm educational foundation will be built. Any ideas, advice, warnings, or questions that need to be considered would be much appreciated.”
