A resource hub for school founders and K-12 entrepreneurs. Figure out how much space you need, search for properties, understand the real costs of a lease, and research the community around your future site.
Your facility is one of the biggest line items in your budget and the home of your vision. We help you sort through all the important pieces.

The real questions
Your facility is a considerable percentage of your operating budget and the physical home of everything you're building. Getting it right matters, and there's a lot to sort through.
Space gives you access to the information you need to work through it all: how much room you need this year and beyond, what properties are available, what a lease will really cost once you factor in the fine print and NNN responsibilities, and what the community and demographics look like around your future site.
01
The Space Calculator builds a code-compliant square footage breakdown from your enrollment, grade levels, and program goals. Plan for this year and as you grow.
02
Site Research shows you the community around any address: demographics, nearby schools, housing values, and traffic. Checklists & Guides help you know what to look for on tour.
03
The Lease Analyzer breaks down the real numbers: base rent, NNN charges, CAM, annual escalations, and TI. See your true all-in occupancy cost as a percentage of revenue.
