Your facility is one of the most significant decisions you'll make when starting, expanding, or relocating a private school. The right location should support your educational mission, enrollment goals, operational needs, and long-term financial sustainability while meeting local zoning and regulatory requirements.

The right choice depends on your school's financial position, long-term growth plans, enrollment projections, and available funding. ISPG helps schools evaluate both options by considering costs, flexibility, financing opportunities, and future expansion needs before making a recommendation.

Finding a suitable school property often involves zoning approvals, occupancy requirements, building code compliance, accessibility standards, parking considerations, environmental reviews, and lease or purchase negotiations. ISPG helps schools anticipate these challenges and manage the process efficiently.

Ideally, schools should begin their facility search 18 to 24 months before their planned opening or relocation date. Starting early provides more options, allows time for due diligence and approvals, and helps avoid delays that could affect enrollment or operations.
