How do I show a buyer my kids coding school’s student progression?

Start by setting out the ladder: each level, its prerequisites, the skills taught and the project that marks completion. Make sure your names and descriptions match what parents see in your registration materials. If you adjusted the sequence over time, note when and why, so the buyer sees the thinking behind it.

Then show movement through it. Using enrolment records, track groups of students from their first term and show who continued, who paused and who left. Anonymize names, and group by age band if that helps. Explain the gaps honestly: a level where many stop may be too hard, too slow, or simply the natural end for many families. A buyer will respect an owner who already understands where the school loses people.

Finally, support the numbers with evidence: sample projects, instructor notes, certificates, showcase events, parent comments. Be clear about which parts depend on you or one instructor, and how curriculum updates are handled as tools change. Have your accountant confirm that the enrolment figures match revenue, so the story and the books agree. Keep the shared version free of children’s personal details until the buyer has signed a confidentiality agreement.

Key takeaways

• Set out each level with prerequisites, skills and the project that marks completion.
• Track groups of students from their first term and show where they continue or stop.
• Support the figures with sample projects, instructor notes and parent comments.
