The SIG forum is where owners, or people interested in starting their own school, can share ideas, experiences, and solutions to the academic and commercial challenges they face which cannot be addressed through other SIGs.

These include but are not limited to:

Recruitment & Training

Tax, Accounting, Banking and Bookkeeping

Technology & software for language schools

Curriculum development for language schools

Marketing & advertising for language schools

Partnerships & Trade between owners

We also will talk about how most independent schools do not fit the stereotype of being a "sing and jump around" school. Many schools teach all four skills, have extensive reading libraries, do cultural exchange projects, and use cutting age techniques such as flipped classrooms. These schools have students who can demonstrate real progress. These schools are also schools that will attract more students and keep them for years.
