View the recording of "Supporting new schools through the ACE Learning Protocol and early partnership"

Launching a new school is challenging. The traditional approach looks something like: a few people hatch a plan, perhaps intending to replicate an existing school, agreements are made, finances secured, a few people plan for the launch of the school, teachers and leaders are hired, students recruited, and school is in session. After a period of time (through an accreditation process or otherwise), the community realizes the well-intended plan wasn’t a fit for their students and is not owned by faculty or understood by parents.  

What if it didn’t have to be that way?

What if a school could spend their five year anniversary celebrating their shared and collective identity instead of working to address the things they wish they would have done differently? In this session, participants explored one school's NEASC Accreditation journey and possibilities for partnership with NEASC through the phases of ideation, pre-launch, launch, and initial accreditation of a new school.
