Frequently Asked Questions
What is a the School House business opportunity?
School House Canada is offering qualified educators an opportunity to join us in a joint venture in a full time or part-time capacity. If selected, you will be operating a unique business under the aegis of the SHC in an exclusive territory. As owner of the business, you will see the equity of your business grow through your efforts and the natural growth of the company in the coming years. When the time is right, you may want to sell your territory, goodwill and client base as an ongoing business venture. (There are some conditions, however, that must be met before you can sell the business and these will be discussed in greater detail with interested parties.)
How much do I have to invest ?
School House Canada wants all candidates to be sure that this opportunity makes financial and professional sense to them. Consequently, we offer each individual the opportunity to work as one of our independent agents so that they can "try it" before committing to purchase one of our associate offerings. If you elect to start off as an associate-agent, there is no initial purchase fee to obtain this business. However, that does not mean that there are no start up costs. Associates will have to purchase their business cards and pay for their initial advertising campaign. This will cost approximately $500 to $1000. In addition, all associates must have a computer, a printer and a high speed internet connection. Associates who participate in this "associate-agent" program will be given a designated territory to work for a period of 6 months After that time, the associate may choose to withdraw from this business opportunity, remain as an agent or sign a new agreement and purchase his territory. The price of the business is determined by the size of the territory.
Do I need to have a teaching background?
A teaching background is an asset for a number of the services that we offer. As an associate, you will be required to provide curriculum documents for a variety of grade levels and subject areas in your territory. SHC understands, however, that you are not an expert in all fields and grade levels. Consequently, you are only expected to provide resources for your defined area of specialization. Other associates will provide resources for the other areas in which you lack the necessary skills and knowledge. In this manner each associate's contributions are used by the whole organization. You are one cog in a very big wheel, but each cog is indispensable.
What kind of training does the School House Curriculum Development Centre offer to prospective associates?
All successful associate applicants will be provided with a training course that will deal with all aspects of the business. However, associates are responsible for any travel expenses as well as binders and other materials that may be required from time-to-time.
Can an associate work part-time as well as full time?
Because our program has so many facets, it is hoped that our associates will dedicate themselves to work full time. In this manner an associate has the best opportunity to reap the maximum rewards. However, we realize that some associates may be in a period of transition and can best take on this endeavor by starting out on a part-time basis Consequently, SHC allows associates to work on a part-time basis until revenues exceed $100,000.
How do I know if I am "associate" material?
If you like to be part of a team and like to follow a standard proven format, you will be an excellent member of our team.
Do I get an exclusive territory and can my territory grow?
School House Canada provides a protected territory to each associate when they begin. Every associate has the ability to expand his territory. All of the business owners, administrators, teachers, parents and students found within your territory are your potential clients.
Do I need employees?
As the owner of your business, you will operate the business and be actively involved in all day-to-day operations. Depending on your background, you may have to hire support staff. School House Canada has a list of potential employees that an associate may access when needed. As your business grows, you may have to add more staff as demand warrants.
How long will it take before I get my School House business started?
