Advisory — Licensing & Accreditation

The standard is knowable. The path can be planned.

State licensing, accreditation, and compliance are not mysteries — they are checklists with stakes. We help Montessori schools find out exactly where they stand and exactly what to do next.

When Schools Call

Four situations, one starting point.

Opening or expanding

A new school, a new campus, or a new program level — and a state licensing process with deadlines, inspections, and documentation that has to be right the first time.

Pursuing accreditation

AMS pathways, IMC, state quality-rating systems, or independent-school accreditation. Knowing which standard fits your school, and what the gap between today and approval actually looks like.

The paper layer

Policy handbooks, staff files, health and safety documentation, emergency plans — the records a reviewer will actually ask for, organized the way they expect to see them.

Before the visit

A mock-review walkthrough so the real site visit holds no surprises. We look at your school the way the reviewer will.

The Product

The Readiness Audit.

Every engagement starts the same way: a fixed-fee audit of where your school stands against the standard you are pursuing — licensing, accreditation, or both.

You leave with a document, not a feeling. Most schools use the gap report to do the work themselves; some keep us through the visit. Either way works.

What You Get — $1,950

—A structured review of your current documentation, policies, and practices against the specific standard you are pursuing

—A written gap report: what passes, what needs work, what is missing entirely

—A sequenced timeline — what to fix first, what can wait, and how long the whole path realistically takes

—Direct pointers to the templates and toolkits that close each gap

Find out where you actually stand.

Tell us which standard you are pursuing and where you think you are. We will tell you if the audit is the right next step.
