Saint Paul American School System has more than fifteen years of experience opening schools throughout the world. With that experience, SPASS has created guides and lists that will put a newly opening school on the pathway to success. SPASS has worked with schools of different sizes, locales, and desires and will work with you to find the solutions that fit your needs.

The guides and lists represent a minimum quality standard of educational practices that are also regarded as best practices around the world. SPASS has collected these practices and refined them into easy to understand concepts that are equally easy to apply. This ease of access also flexible to build upon, and SPASS works toward annual revisions and additions to these guides and practices that will be beneficial to all schools that employ them for years to come.

The guides and lists that we have developed are the fundamentals of building a school's infrastructure. These guides range in topics, as seen above, and cover any anticipated topics that could be universally applied. Other matters local to the school based upon country of residence, physical situation, pre-existing conditions, or unique needs are best decided upon by the school itself on site.
