What makes a successful school?

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Charlie Richards

Charles Richards has been running his own school, 'The Learning Tree', for 8 years. He will open his presentation by defining his understanding of success with regard to an English school and then share ideas on: establishing a school, attracting customers, making a sale, retaining customers, maintaining standards, and looking to the future, with regard to single owner schools. Charlie will conclude his presentation with a personal message, then take questions and lead a discussion. Getting there: To make your own way, see the maps below.
