Carol assisted us with our private school registration process. Her involvement was immensely productive and helped us navigate the Education Act requirements as well as adopt the right approach in dealing with regulators. She is a seasoned practitioner who brought judgement and perspective to our team. She was able to quickly understand our school’s concept, which existed on paper and did not squarely fit into the current legislation or practice, and recommend a pragmatic approach. Her years of expertise in the legal field and with regulators combined with intimate knowledge of the current education system make her an invaluable strategic advisor. We would not hesitate to recommend Carol to anyone starting a school. We will also gladly use her again to help us on our journey of implementing our school’s vision.
