A kindergarten and English school in Edogawa ward is available for purchase; the owners are returning to their home country for personal reasons.
The school has been running for ten years, and was established as a low-cost alternative to other schools in the area. It currently has 20 students in the kindergarten (with a capacity of 25), and around 35 in the English school (with a capacity of 50). The school is run by one owner, with three kindergarten assistants, all of whom are local and have high level English abilities and appropriate academic backgrounds, as well as motivation and commitment.
The school currently takes a Montessori approach to education, and the current owners would prefer to hand the school over to someone who has some understanding of this approach.
This opportunity would suit someone who is keen to start their own school; for the same amount of money they might spend on establishing a new school, they would receive a school that is well-established, well-known in the local area, and has a number of children already enrolled for the coming academic year. This opportunity might also suit someone who is looking to expand their network of schools — enrolment has increased significantly in the past two years and it is likely that a waiting list will be necessary for the upcoming school year. The school has generated an annual profit of around
¥4 million per year for the past five years.
The current owners would like the actual handover of the school to occur in March 2015. Please contact the Japan School News publisher by email at [email protected] for an introduction.
