Partners

Bring The One School
to more families.

The One School is delivered online, so families can be anywhere. City partners build it with us: serving families as learning strategists or leading a team of them, and bringing together parents who believe in this path. The method, systems, training and brand come from headquarters.

Why city partners

The method is in place.
Now we need more people on the same road.

Every family needs someone who truly understands them and stays the course. Headquarters alone can't train enough of those people.

01The need

Parents' questions are real

How to structure homeschooling, which classes to keep, what to do when a child won't work on their own. These questions come up every day, and almost no one nearby can see the whole picture.

02The method

Delivery already has a framework

Every child's path is different, but assessments, semester plans, weekly check-ins and semester reports follow one framework. Partners don't start from scratch, and the service stays steady.

03Community

Like-minded parents are stronger together

The service is online and doesn't depend on a venue. If partners wish, they can host occasional get-togethers for like-minded families to swap experiences and make friends. A nice extra, not part of the service itself.

How the work is shared

Three layers,
each doing what it does best.

City partners don't have to serve as strategists themselves. You can work with families directly, or build a small team of certified strategists.

What headquarters provides

A complete system,
ready to run.

Not just a sign and a handbook. From the first assessment to the semester report, every step has a standard you can follow.

Ways to partner

Two ways to partner,
depending on where clients come from.

Both can run side by side. Fees and revenue share are discussed in person and set out in the signed partnership agreement.

Option A

We refer, you deliver

Families who come through livestreams or the website, and who are a good fit after assessment, are referred to you.

Who we're looking for

More than sales skills,
we value these four things.

Our earliest partners have mostly been homeschooling parents, micro-school founders and long-time education colleagues.

01

Understands children and education

A teacher, education consultant or micro-school founder, or a parent who has homeschooled their own child.

02

Shares the vision

The real value of The One School isn't having someone manage the child, but helping the child gradually no longer need managing.

03

Parents who trust you

A circle of parents who already listen to you matters more than an advertising budget.

04

In it for the long term

Real change in a family often takes a semester or a year to show. If you need a quick return, it will be hard going.

When it may not be a fit

You want to run tutoring, daycare or daily homework monitoringThe One School doesn't teach lessons, drill exercises or check homework daily. Mixing these together leaves parents unsure what we actually do.
You expect headquarters to supply all the clientsHeadquarters refers inquiries but doesn't promise numbers. Your reputation is yours to build.
You want to fill spots and break even fastWe put service quality before scale. The pace is slower than a typical enrollment business.
You'd rather not follow a shared standardAssessments, check-ins and reports follow one framework, with a review at semester's end. That's every family's guarantee.

FAQ

Before you join,
a few things up front.

Do I need to work full time?
Not necessarily. At first you can keep your current work, but weekly check-ins and monthly meetings must happen on schedule. As you serve more families, your commitment grows with it.
Do I need to rent space or open a classroom?
No. The service is entirely online. If you'd like to host gatherings for like-minded families, borrow a suitable space as needed.
Can I be a learning strategist myself?
Yes, but like every strategist, you'll need to complete training and pass certification. Partners can choose whether or not to serve families directly.
Who sets the price for families?
It's the same everywhere: from US$5,999 per semester and US$11,299 per year (¥39,800 and ¥74,800 in mainland China), with a free first assessment. Families get the same service wherever they live.
What are the fees and revenue share?
It depends on the partnership option and your location. We discuss it in person and set it out in the signed agreement. We won't put an eye-catching number on a web page.
How are responsibilities agreed?
Service scope, each side's responsibilities and the protection of family information are all agreed point by point and written into the partnership agreement before we begin.

Write us a letter.
Tell us who you are.

Where you're based, your education background, why you want to do this. We read every letter, and we'll invite those who are a good fit to talk.
