Your first 50 students are the hardest. Most private schools break even around 80-120 students. Plan for 2-3 years of operating losses.
Facility costs dominate. Leasing a church or community center cuts your startup cost by 60-80% vs. building or buying.
Teacher salaries run 15-30% below public school equivalents. You'll attract mission-driven educators, but benefits and culture have to compensate.
The median income here is $125,822. That gives you pricing room most markets don't offer. Don't underprice.
