Academic business plan

Executive Summary

Academic business plan. AACA is an online music academy that started in 2021. It is a place where anyone can come to learn and develop their artistic skills. AACA started online music lessons for guitar & piano with just three teachers who are also founding members. In the future, we plan to expand the academy with more skill-based subjects and start the academy in a physical place as well. Due to the unforeseen pandemic, as a new business, we need to overcome lots of new challenges.

The Academic business plan will mainly be designed for the younger generation (Age: 4 -17 years). However, limited classes will be offered for adults as well.  All classes offered at AACA will be skill-based. In addition to offering lessons, we will also give consultancy services to schools of Maldives and career guidance for upcoming new artists.

It is our main goal to create more artists in the Maldives who are practically and academically educated in their professional field of work and also create more opportunities for the existing local artists. Mostly we have self-taught talented artists in the Maldives because there are no opportunities for them to get the education needed. I believe that creating an academy like ours would help the young generation to become even better artists.Academic business plan
