Classical Education Strengths
Those of us in classical education are taking our cues from a time before the party began. Our experiences are all similar; we have not found the wholesome food we need in the present; we have been entertained but not fed, amused but not instructed.
We have gone, therefore, to another place, not too far off, but still forgotten by most. We have gone back to the well-walked path of the tried and proven – the classical method of education.

- The modern experiment in education is about 100 years old and flagging. The classical experiment is over 1000 years old and reviving.
- Classical education schools are taking hold as an alternative to the public education system.
- The limited number of classical education options in the K-12 vertical leaves a large and underserved market.
- Utilizing a for-profit business model will be attractive to investors, operators and capital markets.

Classical Education Weaknesses
Finding school directors and principals that fully understand and accept the classical education philosophy.
- Facilities.
- Educating the general public to the classical method.
- Being viewed as ‘elitist’.
- Paying for what you can get for free.

Offering Better Education to Our Children
At the beginning of January 2023, School Development Group, Inc. will start offering franchisees the ability to secure specific territories for the development of private and charter schools.
We know that not all states are the same when it comes to education systems. That’s why we will prioritize states that have strong charter school laws and would allow easy access to approval for private school development.
Franchisors Will Periodically Monitor Your School
All schools will be required to use the classical education format. Our franchisors will then periodically monitor your school to ensure that the education system and quality maintain their excellence.
