1. Develop a Comprehensive Business Plan:
In many cases, founders of schools need a detailed Business plan as a supporting baggage for approaching investor’s. We assist in getting capital needed to fund the development of your school and cover potential shortfalls in the initial years of operation. In addition, non-profit schools need a business plan as a part of their fundraising folder inorder to convince donors and lenders of the true costs of the start-up budget and the first five years of the operational budget. Our experts can assit by developing a comprehensive business plan that covers all the financial details needed to start, run and operate an International School.
2. Build, Operate & Transfer
Build-operate-transfer (BOT) format in International Schools is a form of project consulting wherein our experts assist you during the period of International School project financing. A private entity receives a concession from the private or public sector to finance, design, construct, and operate a facility stated in the concession contract. The proponent in such case has enough time to recover its investment, operate and maintain expenses of the School project.
JustInternationalSchools participates in an arrangement where we come on board as a consultant right from inception, development and running the school followed by finally transfer of facilities to the promoter.

Choosing and acquiring the right academic accreditation is very crucial for the good health of the students and growth of school.

Sometimes many schools have distinct requirements and therefore there is a demand for customization of the curriculum depending on the student & parent requirement. Our experts also help in designing and implementing a customized academic curriculum.
4. Feasibility Study & Surveys
We perform statistically driven surveys to gauge real market demand for your school. This move will determine whether the arrangement of your school is realistic and feasible.

Our professional survey tools include both qualitative and quantitative tools including: focus groups, phone surveys, mail surveys, online surveys, and more.

8. Marketing School
Effective marketing strategies and tactics and a plan to put them into action are invaluable for building awareness and an institutional identity within your community (be it local or global), presenting a right image, and communicating with constituent groups your key message. But does your school have a marketing plan that clearly identifies your markets, strategy and utilizes the most current technology to maximize your recruiting opportunities?
JustInternationalSchools associates will help you put together an effective internal and external communication plan. It’s simply a matter of the right person, communicating the right message, to the right audience, at the right time, and in the right way. Do you even know what your cost-per-student enrolled is in terms of your marketing budget? Do you know your most cost effective marketing tactics? You should!
The first step with effective marketing starts with your "internal marketing." You need to ensure that there is match between your mission-vision, goals and the message used to communicate by your staff, board, parents, alumni, students and faculty. Poor internal marketing can lead to money wasted on misdirected external marketing campaigns, which in turn will impact your enrollment, and fundraising.
Today's "external marketing" strategies for private-independent schools have become extremely complicated and demand a high level of understanding and measurability. Word of mouth continue to serve schools well, along with growing presence of parents and guardians using online internet for finding information.Radio advertising and billboards are effective tools for schools, while the time taken is much higher. They must, however, be appropriately designed and staffed to gain maximum impact and done at the right time of year. It's never too early to start reaching out to your current and future parents and students.
Because of our extensive background in helping a variety of schools develop and grow their enrollment under challenging circumstances we are able to bring a unique marketing viewpoint to the range of challenges and opportunities facing private-independent schools.
9. Teacher Training Services
Teachers are the skilled technicians of the education sector. It is their competence that determines whether schoolchildren actually learn. Teachers develop their teaching skills through professional training prior to employment and later receive continuous on-the-job training through teacher-upgrading/teacher assessment programs. Most favourable classroom conditions, however, can only be ensured through the combination of competent teachers and good teaching and learning aids.
To improve school learning in the short and long term, we start with teacher upgrading in order to quickly reach the teacher bodies. For long-term improvement, we offer advisory assistance in teacher training. Our advisory assistance includes the establishment and management of large scale teacher trainings and upgrading teaching techniques and methodology of such programs.
10. Recruitment Consulting
The first parameter to judge the excellence of a school is by the quality of the teachers and staff at the International Schools. Reaching to and recruiting the right kind of teachers and administrative staff, is a very essential criteria for the growth of the students and the development of the school.
Our professional advisors have been there to assist and back many schools due their inception phase and also during enrollment of new teachers. Teachers are the backbone of any Schools hence getting the right mix of teacher profiles with adequate experience is the crux. Therefore we our advisors work very closely in identifying the right qualities, past experience in teaching, educational qualification, personality traits, values and discipline, ethicate’s and most importantly endurance to situations whenever there is a crises.
11. Teacher Exchange / Student Exchange Design
We also assist schools in effective teacher / student exchange to foreign schools / universities during the course of their teaching / academics. Many schools nowadays provide teacher and student exchange programs as this helps them to gain international experience. Teachers experience and try to incorporate new methodologies they learned during their exchange programme in their home schools on return. This also provides insights into the curriculum design and teaching methodology followed by schools elsewhere.
On the other hand students as well gain immensely through student exchange programs. As this allows them to meet and interact with students from other nationalities and zones helping them to learn differently. This brings in a more practical oriented approach.
