For accreditation?...Georgia Accrediting Association. It’s a process, but it’s doable. Especially in FL, I feel they are friendly like Ga with laws that give state funds. I’ll be taking more about that soon.
Brithney Gardiner Literally, it’s a business. You don’t have to ask anyone if you can have a school. It’s your decision to start one. Once you register with the state your business, which is a school then you have yourself a school. Some states may have zoning issues you would have to adhere to. Now you don’t want to stop there. You have to apply to an accrediting body to get accredited. Now they are the ones who have ALL the requirements that need to be done and in order to get state funds you have to be accredited, at least in Georgia. Anyone at any time can open a school. Now the issue is the accrediting and or meeting whatever the requirements are to get state funding if your state gives special-needs scholarships. Hope that makes since. At the end of all this, I might do a live for questions l’ve left unclear.
Cindy Lumpkin how do you get funding for private school? My husband & I already have a nonprofit. I’m wondering if you can get state money or not? Thanks
Same im also 16 and I plan on getting pretty wealthy on real estate. And through the money on that, I can start my own public school. Not private, And preferably high school. And give the students a nice experience. Not terrible super processed foods, Or control freek teachers. But fun field trips, And useful information. I'm really happy there's another person my age thinking of this. 🥳
I am feeling very called to start a private school. I'm not even a teacher! God has put it on my heart ~ which lead me to this video. What a beautiful story ~ thanks for sharing! Praying God helps me through this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please become a teacher before thinking about starting a school. I hate a principal that thinks they can tell teachers what to do when they taught for only 3 or less years.
This is why society needs educational vouchers where the money follows the child. People like her that care should have complete freedom and the ability to help students with parents of all income levels who want an education.
What an informative video! I was shocked at how easy it seems to start a non-accredited school. I would imagine it would take more than that. You need a high school diploma and I need students! 😆 you are so inspiring!
Late to the party: I'm starting a Master's in Education soon, and I'm planning a private Episcopal High School I'd like to open afterwards. Thank you so much for assuring me that the whole process is achievable, and that it's possible to not have to charge students at all if you do your business plan right.
Amazing! You explained the process of opening a school so well. I would not think it would be possible..... but hearing how you did it, it seems possible! I can’t believe you started with under $100 ! congrats on your success!
Lol! Like I said I am not sure it’s Replicatable, but I did it and we have been around for 6 years now. We are still small, but I am ok with that. I would like to grow and sustain enrollment to about 15 to 20.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m a teacher in public school for 17th are. I love teaching, but believe it’s time to make a shift. Your video is an inspiration.
God spoke a certain word to me in an audible voice years ago. I did not understand what to do with it. It’s been many many years and I almost gave up. A few days ago, I revisited my experience and God has lead my mind and heart in this direction. After carefully thinking and searching my heart, I thought within myself… “A Private School!” So this is how I found your page. Thank you and God bless you! ❤
I would like to thank you for this information. For years I had this on and off again behavior about starting a school. I started the day to day protocols I want to put in place, part of the curriculum then I would stop. Your video helped me to place that anxiety of “making sure it was perfect” out of the window. I also debated about nonprofit and profit since my funding is low. This video helped a lot. May God continue to bless you and your journey.
I wish that your program had been around in 2008. I was a special education student who suffered a major setback due to the NCLB Act, and the Georgia High School Graduation Test. I failed one portion and graduated with a certificate of attendance and a Special Education diploma. Later, I went to Job Corps, where I obtained my high school diploma. Currently, I am pursuing my bachelors degree at Clark Atlanta University, with hopes of continuing on to a Masters Program and ultimately starting a school of my own. Your story is really inspiring and I am glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you for sharing!!!
Awesome!!! I feel we should have at every corner like we do churches. Join our facebook group and let’s grow together!! The link should be in below. Many blessings on your journey.
This is great! I just started my own school in Dallas back in September. I have one student as well to start off. It’s been hard finding pupils since I’m not really from the area and don’t have a lot of connections, but I’m just getting started so I know it’ll pick up!
Awesome! It will pick up. FB is a good platform. Let’s connect, join our group called Teachers Interested in Starting a School we try to keep each other encouraged and give advice as much as we can.
So grateful for this video! I'm still an undergrad student but I've been planning on opening a kindergarten/preschool for some time. It's a long-term future plan. I'm from Malaysia so I'm sure things differ but the basic gist of things are likely similar. This is giving me hope for my vision.
Good afternoon: I am encouraged now to start my own school. I am enjoying watching your videos, they are very informative. Can you share more videos about school plans and paperwork needed.
That's really inspiring ! I guess that it couldn't happen this way in France. :) Not sure if you have already told us, but what about the building? Did you have it already? Do you rent it? Oh, and all the material? Tables, chairs, boards, that's a lot to provide! Wishing you all the best for what's to come! Oh, and thanks so much for the shout out!
You are so welcome!!! Also, I would have done the next video for today, but I wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like doing it. However, I will mention much of what you comment on either tomorrow or Wednesday.
Thank you SO much for this testimony!!! I am only about 4 mins in and I’m starting to write this comment. This was for me! I just had the revelation tonight that I am out of place and need to start my school!!! I felt like doors weren’t opening but that’s because I was out of order! Thank you thank you!!! ❤️

@@CindyTheLDCoach thank you so much for the encouragement… We did this many years ago with children that were in trouble instead of sending them to TOC or somewhere where they would just sit in a chair… We asked the principal to send them to drama… And we worked out the problem without them even knowing it… Some of the students went on to be great actors also… But the main thing is they learned lessons… They learn life lessons.
Cindy, this was another informative video. You explained everything in a way that makes opening my own school seem achievable. I have been hearing about starting a non-profit for the past few years. I will look into that now. Looking forward to your next video in the series. And thanks for the shout-out! (BTW - Hi teacher friend from France, Nicholas Gaube!)
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this. I have been in education for about eight years working with struggle learners in middle school. I believe we must partner with families at a younger age to see success in our learners. I want to start a private school, starting with Kindergarten and adding a grade every year after that. Thank you again for this information. I'm heading to watch your other videos.
Great information! Always inspiring to see someone realize their calling and take it a step further and invite others on that journey. I pray that THE MOST HIGH keeps blessing you and what your doing.
This was great! Thank you so much for sharing this info and your journey. I am a 7-year teaching vet and starting to really feel the burnout of teaching virtually. I am in the planning stages of a non-profit organization program for the arts and education that would meet face-to-face. I’m wondering how much of a challenge this would be during the pandemic. Have you faced any issues with your school due to Covid-19? What would be your advice on ways to navigate during these times?
This is such a great video!!! I was always taught that when things easily fall into place, it is meant to be. I love hearing how you found your students! Great story. 😀🤩👍. Wonderful advice. I have lost many students to “home school” you know, before the pandemic.
This is the most genuine video on the topic i've seen... Thanks for sharing your experience! I just have one question maybe you could answer for me. If not getting accreditted at the moment, is a bachelors required for the teachers at the school? I'm in Virginia but whats the regulations around that in your state? Thank you again for the information!!
Hello SalafisPrime!! It has taken me bit of a while, but I finally gotten part 2 up. Teachers are not required to have a bachelors; however, unless they teach something like an elective...music, wood shop, auto mechanics I most likely wouldn't hire them as a teacher, I would make them a co-teacher, someone working under the leadership of a teacher who is certified or has a great deal of experience. This is only the case because of who our clients are too. Our parents want to know that the teachers have to skills needed to teach our population. Thanks for your comment!!
There are many children out there that need for Christians to be starting schools, and adults too for that matter. May God bless you in this endeavor and For this effort in educating your student AND spreading ideas and help to others who may also be able to start schools!
Thank you for this video. I was considering a career path in Education. Im planning on getting a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with my concentration being in Dyslexia and Language-Based Learning Disabilities. Ive only recently been thinking about starting my own school specifically for kids with LDs and really appreciate all of the wonderful help you're offering. So much to think about! But I appreciate everything you give us in your videos.
Awww. Thanks! Also, I am so happy that you are interested in getting your Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with your concentration in Dyslexia and Language based LDs. That is such a great combo and will make you so marketable. Rarely have a since that combination and I wish I had a better grasp of curricular specifically that designed to better help those with learning issues or adopting just a regular one in a meaningful way. It’s a lot more time consuming and most teachers don’t always put in the extra work needed. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing!! I have wanted to start a school for years but I don’t have a degree. I applied and got accepted to a couple local colleges this past fall but didn’t get approved for financial aide. I don’t want to take out loans. I also want the school I start to be accredited. I’m in a tough spot!
Thank you so much! I'm at a place were it has fallen on my heart to start a school. Especially wtih what is going on in public schools, I image private education will be on the rise in the next several years.
I don’t have my own building. But wether you are renting or buying, you have to pay unless you are able to find someone to donate a facility or the cost of buying/renting.
You are fabulous and thank you! I’m in California and had a childcare business for seven years. My daughter and I are wanting to open a school and you’re super helpful. Thank you! I’ll be watching more of your videos!
Go for it!!! I think as a result of Covid more and more people are looking for alternatives to public. We have a FB group called teachers interested in starting a school. Join us! We are building community and support for those who are interested in taking the Journey.
I live in Namibia and I currently doing my honors in Education and i wish to start my school. I started with a few things but I am alone and i feel a bit discouraged.
That is awesome!!! What state? Also, if you are on FB join our group…Teachers Interested in Starting a School. I am trying to build a community of us so it’s not so lonely on the journey.
Wonderful info, thanks lad! I am starting a school and one strategy I made is starting a tutor programme 👍 now I have some pupils go start a school with. And I took advantage of covid-19 lockdown to open an online learning Centre in order to stay connected with pupils and to get more pupils. Now I need to work on the business licence and a suitable place. I already have the whole programme on papers. I need to get to know how to arrange the paper work for applying for a license!
Hey Cindy this is an amazing thing to do. Super proud of you and what you are about to achieve. I have a friend who started a special needs school back home in Nigeria and she need more than $75 dollars!! You are doing wonderful
How awesome is that!! I pray that she gets all the resources she needs. I don’t want to make it sound like you don’t need anything, but for me, everything for the most part that was a huge expense was donated or reduced. I also started with older kids which helped a lot.
How did you balance mom life especially with little ones. I know this video is a few years back, but I'm curious how you did it. I have 3 young daughters & I want to open a private Christian school. I know this is a call from God. He's given me this grand vision, but anxiety is real. I did purchase two books, you recommended in one of your videos & I will use those as well. I pray this message makes it to you.
I've applied to start a private forest Preschool in Wisconsin. I have a gal who would like to teach for me but she can't afford to lose her insurance with the job she's at. Do you have any ideas about providing insurance to employees or where I might go to get that information?
You are awesome!!! I'm so curious to know more about the U.S.A laws regarding curriculum? 12:11 All the details on that please!!! Is some sort of regular reporting due to the government? Does anyone check up on the curriculum? How? Is there some flexibility? Is Standardized Testing required? Flexibility in that?
Thank you! I appreciate this God is calling me to do this ... is there a group I can join as an educator and administrator to build networks with like minded people.
Hi Dalila! I started one on FB. We are small but We are slowly becoming just that. It’s called Teachers Interested in starting a school. You don’t have to be a teacher. Look us up!!❤️
I have a non-profit centered around developmental disabled adults here in Conyers and now I want to work with special needs children needing to be in a private setting.
Hi, You can just search the name, Teachers Interested In Starting A School. Here is the link too:facebook.com/groups/2561950337436466 I look forward to meeting you.
Can you start a school for children with behavior issues. Low ratio classes. I want to start a school for children who have behavior issues and need special attention so they want get left behind year after year.
For sure!!!! I have some students who have iep’s for behavior. It would be a specialized school, much like what I have, but you would only work with behaviors. Join our FB group…Teachers Interested in Starting a School
5:40 I looked into become a Non-profit school and it was $800. just for the paperwork... The reason I decided not to do the non-profit because you have to have so many people, not friends or family on a board of like trustees.... and they can FIRE you, if need be! That is when I thought "OH HECK NO" I don't want to start a school... and have people that can "VOTE" you off... that is scary... Truthfully I was disappointed I couldn't go the Non-profit route... Can you have a School, and be not be Non-profit? Do you know anything about have an Academy? Is that different from Charter school?
I wanna build my own HBCU, I’ve been investing and started trading to build up some money so how much would I be lookin at, and how long would trying to build a college look like
That is a wonderful dream to have, especially considering that the are closing my the dozens. I really don’t know how much, but I am sure you will need quite a bit of resources. I would say def build a team of like minded people. This is something you can’t do alone. Also, start researching the requirements so you will know what is ahead of you. Good luck!!
I would like to partner with you for more ideas. I’m planning on starting my own private school in Africa. You’re super cute, young and innovative. I’m so inspired by you. Thank for the hard-work. I just subscribed ☝🏾
Yes you can!!! Sometimes your city or county may have property that is owed by them and they have been known to give it way for nothing. It’s all about timing and who you know.
Thank you! Thank you! I've been looking for information on this topic, as I plan to open in MS! It was so refreshing to watch you speak about your journey! #subscribe
Hello, My name is Haley Chase-Crocker. I am interested in opening my own school someday but have no clue where to start. I wasn't sure if there's a way for us to talk (email would work) where I can ask. few questions! There is some things I need to work on first but would love to relatively map out a plan on where to start and things I should be working on now! Did you go through the department of education?
That is incredible, WOW $75. Codee aka CoCo has that much right now :) Not that she is in any position to become a teacher right now, She is just 14, but being a special ed teacher is on her list of things she might want to do when she grows up. And to think She could have her own school someday. Thanks for sharing it is good to know there are so many possibilities. It is so true that not all kids learn the same. I feel like Codee really struggles with concentration, and staying focused. we were told in 6th grade she had ADD, and they gave us medication, but after praying hard about it we just kept getting the same NO, do not medicate her. I believe it was the right choice, however she struggles with focusing, and completing assignment, and then remembering to turn them in. I think this will actually help her as she gets older, if she does choose to open a school, or even just be in a career working with kids, because she will be more understanding of those situations, and that not all kids learn the same. Thanks So much for sharing.
Much respect with your decision not to give meds. I don’t judge either way, but it would be a hard decision for us to make too. I don’t even give my kids shoots in a regular schedule.
Um, the process is just like home childcare when applying to DCF. Who did you apply to for the school?
For accreditation?...Georgia Accrediting Association. It’s a process, but it’s doable. Especially in FL, I feel they are friendly like Ga with laws that give state funds. I’ll be taking more about that soon.
Cindy Lumpkin not for the accreditation but to open a school. Who/where did you have to apply to open the school?

Im planning on getting a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with my concentration being in Dyslexia and Language-Based Learning Disabilities. Ive only recently been thinking about starting my own school specifically for kids with LDs and really appreciate all of the wonderful help you're offering. So much to think about! But I appreciate everything you give us in your videos.
Awww. Thanks! Also, I am so happy that you are interested in getting your Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with your concentration in Dyslexia and Language based LDs. That is such a great combo and will make you so marketable. Rarely have a since that combination and I wish I had a better grasp of curricular specifically that designed to better help those with learning issues or adopting just a regular one in a meaningful way. It’s a lot more time consuming and most teachers don’t always put in the extra work needed. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing!! I have wanted to start a school for years but I don’t have a degree. I applied and got accepted to a couple local colleges this past fall but didn’t get approved for financial aide. I don’t want to take out loans. I also want the school I start to be accredited. I’m in a tough spot!
Can you work and pay your way through school? You can always collaborate with someone else who has the same heartbeat. Good luck!
Thank you so much! I'm at a place were it has fallen on my heart to start a school. Especially wtih what is going on in public schools, I image private education will be on the rise in the next several years.
Very thorough and easy to follow.
With buildings did you have to pay for it?
I don’t have my own building. But wether you are renting or buying, you have to pay unless you are able to find someone to donate a facility or the cost of buying/renting.
I am so happy to have found your channel and hearing about your starting a school journey!
Thank you so much!!
Loved it. LOVED it. LOVED IT!!
Thanks for being so open and transparent. You’re a Godsend. God bless, and much prosperity.
You are fabulous and thank you! I’m in California and had a childcare business for seven years. My daughter and I are wanting to open a school and you’re super helpful. Thank you! I’ll be watching more of your videos!

I’m 19 and I plan on starting a boarding school
What a wonderful goal! I am sure it will happen.
Wonderful info, thanks lad! I am starting a school and one strategy I made is starting a tutor programme 👍 now I have some pupils go start a school with. And I took advantage of covid-19 lockdown to open an online learning Centre in order to stay connected with pupils and to get more pupils. Now I need to work on the business licence and a suitable place. I already have the whole programme on papers. I need to get to know how to arrange the paper work for applying for a license!
Thank you this is great information!
Thank you!
Hey Cindy this is an amazing thing to do. Super proud of you and what you are about to achieve. I have a friend who started a special needs school back home in Nigeria and she need more than $75 dollars!! You are doing wonderful
How awesome is that!! I pray that she gets all the resources she needs. I don’t want to make it sound like you don’t need anything, but for me, everything for the most part that was a huge expense was donated or reduced. I also started with older kids which helped a lot.
Keep me posted on her progress!
How did you balance mom life especially with little ones. I know this video is a few years back, but I'm curious how you did it. I have 3 young daughters & I want to open a private Christian school. I know this is a call from God. He's given me this grand vision, but anxiety is real. I did purchase two books, you recommended in one of your videos & I will use those as well. I pray this message makes it to you.
Thank you so much, this is very helpful! You are so inspiring! God is so good!
Thank you so much and yes He is!!
I've applied to start a private forest Preschool in Wisconsin. I have a gal who would like to teach for me but she can't afford to lose her insurance with the job she's at. Do you have any ideas about providing insurance to employees or where I might go to get that information?
You are awesome!!!
I'm so curious to know more about the U.S.A laws regarding curriculum? 12:11
All the details on that please!!!
Is some sort of regular reporting due to the government? Does anyone check up on the curriculum? How? Is there some flexibility? Is Standardized Testing required? Flexibility in that?
This is sooo helpful!!
Happy I could help!
Thank you! I appreciate this God is calling me to do this ... is there a group I can join as an educator and administrator to build networks with like minded people.

Can you start a school for children with behavior issues. Low ratio classes. I want to start a school for children who have behavior issues and need special attention so they want get left behind year after year.
For sure!!!! I have some students who have iep’s for behavior. It would be a specialized school, much like what I have, but you would only work with behaviors. Join our FB group…Teachers Interested in Starting a School
Such inspiring and helpful information.
We have a Facebook group now as well. It’s called Teachers Interested in Starting a school, join us!
Love this

I looked into become a Non-profit school and it was $800. just for the paperwork...
The reason I decided not to do the non-profit because you have to have so many people, not friends or family on a board of like trustees.... and they can FIRE you, if need be!
That is when I thought "OH HECK NO" I don't want to start a school... and have people that can "VOTE" you off... that is scary...
Truthfully I was disappointed I couldn't go the Non-profit route...
Can you have a School, and be not be Non-profit?
Do you know anything about have an Academy? Is that different from Charter school?
You can have a for profit school.
And Academy and charter school is generally very different. A charter school is still a public entity most academies are private.
Hi Cindy, I’m inspired of your school. I like your website and it has youtube videos. How, who, or what website did you use to create your website?
I got someone on Fiverr to do it.
I wanna build my own HBCU, I’ve been investing and started trading to build up some money so how much would I be lookin at, and how long would trying to build a college look like
That is a wonderful dream to have, especially considering that the are closing my the dozens. I really don’t know how much, but I am sure you will need quite a bit of resources. I would say def build a team of like minded people. This is something you can’t do alone. Also, start researching the requirements so you will know what is ahead of you. Good luck!!
Hey Cindy. Thanks alot for sharing.
Am struggling to find your Facebook group.
Thanks
Thank you so much. I am a believer as well and I’m in the process of beginning this journey. Do you do mentoring ?
I would like to partner with you for more ideas. I’m planning on starting my own private school in Africa.
You’re super cute, young and innovative.
I’m so inspired by you. Thank for the hard-work.
I just subscribed ☝🏾
These are some tips I would love to ask you, can you buy a old abandoned school and fix it up and turn it into a private school
Yes you can!!! Sometimes your city or county may have property that is owed by them and they have been known to give it way for nothing. It’s all about timing and who you know.
This has motivates me a lot!!!
Yey!!! Join our group on FBfacebook.com/groups/2561950337436466
How did you get a building for the school ?
Thank you! Thank you! I've been looking for information on this topic, as I plan to open in MS! It was so refreshing to watch you speak about your journey! #subscribe
Though I live in another country.
Hi! Do you have any idea how to start a school in UK?
So sorry! I don’t. I wish you the best however.
how did you get the finding to keep the kids and the lights on in the building
Hi! Hope to do a video to chat about this soon. But personal savings, fundraising, and donations and grants.
Hello, My name is Haley Chase-Crocker. I am interested in opening my own school someday but have no clue where to start. I wasn't sure if there's a way for us to talk (email would work) where I can ask. few questions! There is some things I need to work on first but would love to relatively map out a plan on where to start and things I should be working on now! Did you go through the department of education?
Hi, thank you so much for the videos as I'm interested in starting a school/homeschool. May I ask what state you are in?
Sure, GA. Go for it!!! It’s hard work but the most rewarding 10 years of my career
That is incredible, WOW $75. Codee aka CoCo has that much right now :) Not that she is in any position to become a teacher right now, She is just 14, but being a special ed teacher is on her list of things she might want to do when she grows up. And to think She could have her own school someday. Thanks for sharing it is good to know there are so many possibilities. It is so true that not all kids learn the same. I feel like Codee really struggles with concentration, and staying focused. we were told in 6th grade she had ADD, and they gave us medication, but after praying hard about it we just kept getting the same NO, do not medicate her. I believe it was the right choice, however she struggles with focusing, and completing assignment, and then remembering to turn them in. I think this will actually help her as she gets older, if she does choose to open a school, or even just be in a career working with kids, because she will be more understanding of those situations, and that not all kids learn the same. Thanks So much for sharing.
Much respect with your decision not to give meds. I don’t judge either way, but it would be a hard decision for us to make too. I don’t even give my kids shoots in a regular schedule.
