About Us

An advisory built around a simple conviction.

The schools we represent were built deliberately — over decades, classroom by classroom, family by family. They deserve a sale process that honors that work.

School Brokers, Inc. is a specialist advisory practice serving owners of private preschools, child development centers, and independent schools across the United States. We work confidentially, on retainer, with a small number of engagements at a time.

01 / Confidentiality

Discretion as a structural protection

Every listing is published blind. Buyers are pre-qualified and NDA-bound before a name or address is shared.

02 / Buyer Screening

The right buyer is not always the highest bidder

We vet every buyer — financially, professionally, and culturally — before they are introduced to a school.

03 / Legacy

A transition that protects what you built

We structure transitions so that staff, families, and curriculum continuity carry forward, not just the keys.
