Registering a Private School in Michigan

1. Submit application (online or via Michigan Dept. of Education) with required fee.
2. Provide documentation: charter/bylaws, board list, curriculum, faculty/staff list, financial statements.
3. Undergo inspection by MDE (facilities, curriculum, staff).
4. Receive certificate of registration upon approval, authorizing operation.

Tips: Start early (process takes months); prepare all documents; cooperate fully with inspection.
