Your Partner In Purpose
We started Strategic Advisory to expand access to high-quality education by helping current and future school leaders navigate facility decisions with confidence. We bridge the gap between real estate, finance, and ops expertise that even the largest networks often lack in-house.
Whether you're a Year 0 school in the visioning phase, a single-site school ready to expand, or an established network planning your next move — together, we create a concrete, actionable roadmap to bring your unique vision to life.
Start with Strategy.
Build with Confidence.
OBSTACLES
WHAT WE DELIVER
Smart pre-development planning: risk-managed site search and achievable budgets and timelines
Upfront decisions are high-stakes and can have long-term implications
Specialized team across pre-development, financing, construction, and operations
Schools rarely have real estate expertise in-house — but development projects require specialized know-how
Hands-on delivery: on-time and on-budget with contingency plans in place
School calendars are fixed, but development timelines are variable

Already in the Works?
Schools often return to us for additional phases and replications. If you’re planning to expand, we’ll help you assess what’s next — whether that’s scaling up, opening a new campus, or transitioning to a long-term facility solution.
