[quote=Anonymous]Look OP, why are you here asking questions if you have all the answers?

You have done very little research as evidenced by your posts. There are no public charter schools in Alexandria City. Alexandria Academy was in fact a private school and it was not an elementary school as I recall.

You can not just go to an office building in Old Town, rent an office, and set up a school. It doesn't work like that nor should it.

I agree that you are grossly underestimating the costs.  And where are they "playgrounds" you are walking too anyway? There are very few in Alexandria City that are in fact walkable and not tied to a public school.

I don't think your idea is without merit but I do think you need to do a lot more very basic research on the City before you even bother with consultants.

Also "strict academics and discipline" in Alex City??? That appeals nicely to the low income parents who in fact can't afford the $7-$10K but for the liberal parents who are already using private schools they aren't looking for that kind of environment. Check out the Alex privates and many are based on more cooperative, nuturing, earthy, learning environment ideals.  (in theory at least)[/quote]
