Project Viability

Taking time to conduct a robust initial feasibility study saves time and money, whether or not a project is regarded as viable. If the project is a good fit, drilling down to establish estimated costs allows project sponsors to proceed advisedly.

Project Implementation

Steering a project safely through its implementation phase, within budget and on schedule is the next phase. We will coordinate the input of all key players and guide the writing of effective curriculum, budget and staffing plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, new school start-up enthusiasts jump to the construction stage of the new school building without assessing the school project feasibility, planning budget, and not considering any statutory requirements. The decision to jump stages is purely based on individual perception, a lot of money would have gone into the new school setup and operations – It may take several years to understand if the approach is delivering the desired results or not. To avoid ambiguity, and endless run-time issues and to ensure you are making the right investment, we suggest a data-driven approach to determine a sustainable school concept or school project feasibility. Some questions you need to have valid answers for before you begin or make any investment –

  • Is there a need for a school in the proposed location?
  • What is your target market and how are you positioning your school?
  • What are the risks involved in the proposed school project?
  • Under what conditions will the proposed school be successful?
  • How much does it cost to set up a school and run it?
  • How long does it take to set up a school?

Many options are available; you may consider any one or combination of these familiar options –

  • State Board: State Government Recognized Board
  • CBSE: Central Board of Secondary Education
  • CBSE-I: CBSE-International
  • ICSE: Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE)
  • IB: International Baccalaureate
  • IGCSE: International General Certificate of Secondary Education / Cambridge University
  • Early Learning Schools & Child Care Centers; custom concepts based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf (Steiner), Montessori and early year foundation stages (EYFS).

There is no single answer to this question, Cost of setting up a school is dependent on several factors, listing few factors –

  • Target market
  • Capacity planned
  • Value of land (varies by location and size)
  • Cost of infrastructure design and build
  • Facilities you wish to offer
  • Academic and beyond academic programs you wish to offer
  • Cost of educational supplies, staffing and other services
  • How do you plan to brand and position your school in the target market?

The minimum requirement is 500 – 8000 Square meters. However, the land required depends on the specific location you wish to open the proposed school, the facilities you propose to provide to students, the state board, and other affiliations (CBSE, ICSE, etc) you are planning to seek for your new school.

Approximately Rs. 1400 – Rs. 3500 square feet, varies by location and quality of construction

Depends on the pace at which you are able to establish brand awareness and enroll students. For a moderately financed venture, the operational break even should be within 1 – 5 years from the launch date. Sometimes operational break-even may not happen as predicted, you still need to support operations and maintain the brand position. It is suggested that you plan the necessary cash flows well in advance.

This is highly dependent on the capital invested and the overall success of the school. In a normal case, the break-even should be within 5 – 10 years from the launch date (not considering gains thru land value appreciation/depreciation)

Age-appropriate facilities are necessary for all-around child development. There is no end to the facilities and amenities you can provide. Figure out what is adding to the cost and not adding to the enrolments and make sure they are used to the optimum. Some of them include:

  • Technology-Based Classrooms
  • Language Labs
  • Science Labs
  • Design and Technology lab
  • Computer Labs
  • Maths Labs
  • Music Room
  • Dance Hall
  • Art & Craft studio
  • Indoor / Outdoor sports facilities
  • Transport
  • Multipurpose Halls

Principal, coordinators, Teachers, Lab Assistants, Maids, Administrator, Accounts Staff, Gardner’s, Nurse, Drivers, etc.

You should meet the prerequisite criteria indicated by the state board and other boards (CBSE, ICSE, IB, etc) you are planning to seek affiliation from. We recommend planning these based on the academics and beyond academic programs, your school would offer, and the nature of the learning environment you wish to provide to students.
