Start a University-Model® School

Your step-by-step guide, resource library, and consulting network for launching a certified University-Model® school.

Quality Education

Many Christian parents find the choice between public and private schools to be limiting and disconcerting. College entry has also become increasingly competitive in recent years. The University-Model® approach solves these problems by offering a high-quality, college-preparatory education in a context that emphasizes discipleship, worldview instruction, and character formation. Explore the University-Model® approach.

It begins with a calling

Before the manual, the workshop, and the launch plan, there is a quieter first step — one no checklist can carry. Through prayer, believe that God is calling you to implement a University-Model® school.

If that conviction is taking shape in your family, your church, or your community, the four steps that follow are practical — and NAUMS, Inc. walks each of them with you.
