Introduction  
E.A.   Farren,   Limited,   Project   Developer   for   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia,   submits   the   following  
document  that  outlines  the  business  plan  for  the  development  and  operation  of  Gordonstoun  
Nova   Scotia   (“The   School”)   that   is   being   developed   to   take   its   place   as   a   world   class  
international  private  school  located  in  Bridgetown,  Nova  Scotia.  
 
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  will  operate  under  a  franchise  agreement  with  Gordonstoun  Schools  
Limited,  Elgin,  Morayshire,  Scotland,  itself  a  world  leader  in  the  education  of  youth  and  whose  
educational   philosophies   established   under   its   founder,   Dr.   Kurt   Hahn,   have   given   rise   to  
several  other  world  class  schools  founded  by  him  and  remain  rooted  in  the  Hahnian  tradition  
that  is  described  herein.      
 
This  document  is  intended  to  demonstrate  the  viability  of  developing  and  operating  The  School  
in   Annapolis   County,   Nova   Scotia   while   incorporating   leading   edge   technologies   and   cost  
efficient   energy   efficiencies   in   both   the   teaching   and   living   conditions   of   the   School.   This  
document   will   give   financial   capital   providers   insight   on   the   methodologies   and   facilities   that  
will  underpin  the  successful  operation  of  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  as  an  international  centre  of  
excellence  for  the  education  and  personal  development  of  today’s  youth  recruited  worldwide  
to  its  classrooms.  
 
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia’s  success  is  being  built  upon  replicating  and  strictly  adhering  to  the  
ethos   and   branding   successfully   developed   through   84   years   of   operation   of   the   historically  
influential  and  internationally  recognized  Mother  School,  Gordonstoun,  located  in  Duffus,  Elgin,  
Morayshire,   Scotland   (www.gordonstoun.org.uk)   of   which   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   be   a  
proud  member.  
 
Annapolis  County  and  Valley  Profile  
The   County   of   Annapolis   and   the   Annapolis   Valley   offer   a   unique   urban-­‐rural   vista   for   residents  
and   visitors   alike   to   explore   along   the   Province   of   Nova   Scotia’s   majestic   Bay   of   Fundy   coast  
that  is  located  along  the  northwestern  part  of  the  province.

Historic  Connection  
An  historic  connection  exists  between  Gordonstoun,  then  the  home  of  Sir  Robert  Gordon,  and  
Nova   Scotia   and,   hence,   with   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia.   Sir   Robert   was   created   Scotland’s  
Premier  Baronet  of  Nova  Scotia  on  28  May  1625  and  granted  16,000  acres  on  the  coast  of  Nova  
Scotia   which   were   erected   into   a   barony.   Sir   Robert   had   arranged   the   Awards   of   this   Honour   in  
order  to  finance  the  development  of  the  Colony  that  is  now  the  Province  of  Nova  Scotia.  
 
The   coat   of   arms   of   the   baronetcy   of   Nova   Scotia   is   situated   on   the   west   gable   of   Gordonstoun  
House,   now   the   administrative   building   of   Gordonstoun   and   will   be   replicated   in   the  
Administration  Building  of  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  that  is  to  be  named  Sir  Robert  Gordon  Hall.

School  Background  
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  is  being  established  as  a  member  of  Gordonstoun  Schools  Limited  for  
the   education   of   youth   aged   16   to   19   years   and   built   to   operate   internationally   as   a   Not-­‐for-­‐
profit   school   based   on   the   ethos   and   brand   of   Gordonstoun   School,   Morayshire,   Scotland,  
founded   by   Dr.   Kurt   Hahn   who   was   decisively   influential   internationally   in   broad   curriculum  
education  and  personal  development.    
 
Dr.   Hahn   had   served   in   the   German   Foreign   Ministry   during   World   War   1   and,   realizing   the  
necessity  of  lasting  peace  toward  the  end  of  the  war,  promoted  the  appointment  of  and  served  
as   Private   Secretary   to   Prince   Max   von   Baden,   the   last   Imperial   Chancellor   of   Germany   and  
Prime   Minister   of   Prussia.   It   was   during   his   wartime   experience   that   Dr.   Hahn   saw   broad  
curriculum   education   and   personal   development   as   a   vehicle   through   which   to   develop   a  
generation  of  people  desirous  of  international  peace  and  cooperation.  
 
Friedrich  Ebert,  head  of  the  Socialist  Party  (SPD)  in  Germany  had  attempted  to  persuade  Prince  
Max  to  become  Regent  of  Germany  which  Prince  Max  declined.  Both  Prince  Max  and  Dr.  Hahn  
retired   to   Salem,   Germany   where   Dr.   Hahn   founded   Schule   Schloss   Salem   School   in   1920   in  
cooperation  with  Prince  Max.  
 
Dr.   Hahn   very   publicly   broke   with   Hitler   and   was   imprisoned   in   1933   for   five   days   during   which  
time  British  Prime  Minister  Ramsay  MacDonald  successfully  appealed  for  his  release.  Dr.  Hahn  
immediately  moved  to  Britain  in  March  1933  where  he  founded  Gordonstoun.    
 
Through   his   educational   vision   and   philosophy,   Dr.   Hahn   also   founded   the   Outward   Bound  
movement   in   1941,   the   Duke   of   Edinburgh   Award   Scheme   in   1956,   Trevelyan   Scholarships   in  
1958,   Atlantic   College   in   Wales   and   the   United   World   Colleges   movement   in   1962,   the   Medical  
Commission   for   the   Prevention   of   Accidents   in   1964,   and   an   international   organization   of  
schools,  now  called  Round  Square.    
 
Following   World   War   ll,   Dr.   Hahn   founded   several   other   boarding   schools   based   on   the  
principles  of  Salem  and  Gordonstoun  including  Anavrytna  in  Greece  and  Louiselund  in  Germany  
in   1949,   Rannoch   School   in   Scotland   and   Box   Hill   in   England   in   1959.   These   schools   were  
followed   by   the   International   School   Ibadan   founded   in   Nigeria   in   1963   and   The   Athenian  
School   in   Danville,   California   in   1965.   In   addition,   his   philosophies   and   brand   provided   the  
foundation  framework  for  the  Kurt  Hahn  Expeditionary  School  in  Brooklyn,  New  York,  in  2007.    
 
Kurt  Hahn  retired  from  Gordonstoun  and  returned  to  Hermannsberg,  Germany,  near  Salem  in  
1953.   He   died   there   in   1974   and   was   buried   in   Salem.   The   building   housing   both   the   library  
resource  centre  and  the  learning  centre  designed  to  assist  students  of  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  
through  hurdles  in  their  studies  will  be  named  The  Kurt  Hahn  Learning  Centre  in  his  memory.

Kurt  Hahn’s  Educational  Philosophy  
Kurt   Hahn’s   views   on   world   affairs   and   the   necessity   of   peace   and   new   approaches   to  
interactions  between  nations  through  education  were  shaped  by  his  experiences  in  the  German  
Imperial   Ministry   of   Foreign   Affairs   and   in   his   work   as   Private   Secretary   to   Prince   Max   von  
Baden,  last  Imperial  Chancellor  of  Germany.  What  then  is  Kurt  Hahn’s  educational  philosophy  
upon  which  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  is  founded  and  rooted?  
 
Kurt   Hahn   believed   that   the   principal   task   of   education   is   to   ensure   the   survival   of   five  
fundamental  qualities  in  meeting  the  generational  challenges  in  respect  to  personal  growth  and  
international  cooperation  leading  to  peace  and  development  among  nations,  namely:  
1. An  enterprising  curiosity  within  individuals.  
2. An  undefeatable  spirit  in  meeting  challenges.  
3. Tenacity  in  the  pursuit  of  goals.  
4. Readiness  for  sensible  self  denial,  and  
5. Above  all,  understanding  and  compassion  for  others.  
 
The  impact  of  these  five  qualities  Kurt  Hahn  espoused  is  best  exemplified  in  an  Address  he  gave  
at  the  Founding  Day  Ceremony  of  the  Athenian  School  in  Danville,  California  in  1965  in  which  
he  stated  it  was  the  community  of  “remarkable  boys  and  girls”  at  Salem  School  who  “proved  
their  mettle”  when  “they  saved  the  school  from  extinction  by  Hitler.”  The  successors  of  these  
students   protected   Salem   “against   the   corruption   by   Hitler”   until   1944   when   it   was   finally  
Nazified  and  to  be  re-­‐opened  again  after  the  war.  
 
Accordingly,  Dr.  Hahn  believed  that  schools  should  build  up  in  the  young  a  healthy  resistance  
against  the  tempting  declines  which  surround  them  including  listlessness,  subversive  anger,  and  
scepticism.  His  prescriptive  cures  for  these  tempting  declines  were:  
1. A   morning   break   devoted   to   athletic   training   designed   to   keep   the   joy   of   movement  
alive  and  which  is  often  extinguished  in  adolescence.  Kurt  Hahn  believed  in  training  in  
jumping,  throwing,  and  running  because  jumping  develops  decision;  throwing,  strength;  
running,  the  power  to  tap  one’s  hidden  reserves.  
2. The  expedition,  whether  a  canoeing,  riding,  sailing,  or  climbing  expedition,  that  should  
give  young  people  the  experience  of  being  alone  because  in  solitude  one  naturally  looks  
back,  one  also  thinks  and  dreams  ahead  and  one  finds  it  difficult  to  conveniently  forget  
what   one   should   remember.   It   is   through   the   expedition   that   one   learns   they   are  
needed  as  part  of  the  team  by  giving  help  to  a  fellow  man  in  danger  with  the  result  that  
compassion  becomes  the  master  motive  in  one’s  life.  
3. The  project,  projects  chosen  by  the  pupil,  projects  of  art,  music,  craftsmanship,  and  in  
the  last  year  of  school,  mainly  projects  of  research  demanding  victorious  patience  and  
tenacity   of   purpose   that   often   bring   to   light   a   hidden   creativity.   Kurt   Hahn   recognized  
the   importance   of   examinations   because   they   train   willpower   and   the   young   develop  
6  

 
and  test  the  alertness  of  mind  in  preparing  for  them  but  he  also  recognized  that  projects  
of  research  can  lead  to  the  discovery  of  intellectual  reserves  which  school  exams  often  
fail  to  recognize.  
4. Service   to   community,   again   “you   are   needed,”   whether   it   be   rendered   on   dramatic  
occasions   most   particularly   in   rescue   service   and   the   training   which   it   demands   in   ski  
patrol,  surf  lifesaving  and  coast  guard  or  through  voluntary  workers  bringing  relief  to  the  
blind,   the   old,   and   the   lonely   and   through   volunteerism   in   hospitals   and   approved  
schools  whether  in  math  or  in  reading.  
 
Consequently,   Dr.   Hahn   placed   great   value   in   experiential   education   because   he   fundamentally  
believed  it  is  through  this  process  that  individual  students  accept  within  themselves  that  “there  
is  more  within  you  than  you  think”  and  gives  rise  to  the  belief  that  we  each  have  more  courage,  
more   strength,   and   more   compassion   within   us   than   we   would   have   believed.       It   was   Kurt  
Hahn’s  mission  to  help  people  around  the  world  believe  these  truths  about  themselves  through  
the  experiential  and  broad  curriculum  ethos  and  brand  he  formulated.

Gordonstoun  in  Nova  Scotia  
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia’s  mission  is  to  reflect  the  Hahnian  educational  philosophy  through  a    
four-­‐year   broad   curriculum   program   of   core   classroom   studies,   sports   and   outdoor   learning  
activities  that  is  enhanced  through  community  and  international  volunteerism.  
 
The  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  educational  experience  based  in  Annapolis  County,  Nova  Scotia  is  
presented  through  high  academic    and  extracurricular  expectations  and  opportunities  in  which  
life   in   the   boarding   community   and   academic   achievement   in   the   International   Baccalaureate  
(IB)  and  Gordonstoun  broad  curriculum  program  are  equally  emphasized.    
 
The   Hahnian-­‐based   broad   curriculum   is   designed   to   instill   in   students   the   confidence   to   carry  
themselves   inspirationally   and   effectively   through   quality   classroom   learning   experiences,  
mentorship  from  internationally  qualified  teaching,  sports,  and  outdoor  learning  staff,  and  the  
spirit  of  teamwork  promoted  throughout  the  school  so  they  can  successfully  navigate  their  way  
through  life’s  exciting  challenges  and  great  opportunities.  
 
The   democratic   ethos   of   school   life   and   discipline   at   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   be   based   on  
the  experiential  education  principles  of  Kurt  Hahn  and  placed  in  the  hands  of  elected  students  
under   the   guidance   of   staff.   Breaches   of   discipline   will   be   jointly   dealt   with   by   the   School  
Administration   and   the   elected   leaders   of   the   student   body   in   what   is   called   the   Leadership  
Council.  
 
Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia’s   aim   through   its   broad   curriculum   processes   is   to   build   personalities  
who   respect   the   individual,   act   responsibly   for   the   environment,   and   who   will   live   and

The   core   classroom   subjects   will   be   taught   by   teachers   qualified   to   a   minimum   of   Master’s  
degree  in  their  subject  area  and  will  be  examined  in  conformity  with  the  academic  standards  of  
the   IB   (International   Baccalaureate)   Global   Centre   in   Bethesda,   Maryland,   U.S.A.   and   the   IB  
Assessment  Centre  in  Cardiff,  Wales.    

All  students  must  participate  in  community  service  and  in  a  regular  program  of  sports  and/or  
outdoor  pursuits  including  Outward  Bound.  Participation  in  the  broad  curriculum  programs  in  
music,  theatre,  dance,  and  visual  arts  is  strongly  encouraged.  

The  sports,  outdoor  education  and  academic  components  of  the  broad  curriculum  will  be  led  by  
noted   and   highly   qualified   figures   in   each   of   their   fields   who   will   mentor   and   afford   students  
the   opportunity   to   participate   in   local,   regional,   and   national   academic,   sports   and   outdoor  
education  and  competitive  events.  

It  is  through  participatory  and  mentored  events  led  in  a  spirit  of  teamwork  by  highly  qualified  
individuals   in   sports,   culture,   and   the   academic   program   that   the   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia  
broad  curriculum  will  prepare  its  students  not  only  for  examinations;  it  will  prepare  them  for  
life   with   a   strong   moral   character   and   the   ability   to   problem-­‐solve   and   collaborate   as   global  
citizens.  

Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  will  be  a  provincially-­‐accredited,  independent,  non-­‐profit  institution  


in   franchise   agreement   with   Gordonstoun   with   600   students   when   fully   enrolled.   The  
atmosphere   at   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   be   cosmopolitan   with   1/3rd   enrollment   coming  
from   Canada   and   the   United   States,   1/3rd   from   Europe,   and   1/3rd   from   remainder   of   the   world.  
This   cosmopolitan   atmosphere   will   be   enhanced   by   highly   qualified   and   motivated   staff  
members   who   will   come   from   several   countries.   The   School   will   be   certified   by   the   National  
Association   of   Independent   Schools   (NAIS)   and   the   Canadian   Association   of   Independent  
Schools  (CAIS).  
 

The  International  Baccalaureate  and  Round  Square  Programs  


The   International   Baccalaureate   program   provided   by   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   is   an  
internationally   recognized   academic   program   that   is   accepted   by   the   Department   of   Education,  
Province  of  Nova  Scotia,  for  certification  of  private  schools  operating  within  the  Province.    
 
The  International  Baccalaureate  (IB)  and  DP  programs  offer  important  benefits  to  each  student  
successfully  completing  the  IB  program  of  studies,  namely:  
1. Advanced  standing  for  acceptance  to  leading  universities.  
2. University  course  credit  for  subjects  successfully  completed  as  part  of  the  IB  and  DP

The   School   will   also   be   a   participating   member   of   the   Round   Square   movement   under   the  
leadership   of   Round   Square,   Windsor,   United   Kingdom.   Round   Square   was   founded   at  
Gordonstoun,   Scotland   and   facilitates   and   maintains   a   worldwide   network   of   180   schools  
engaged  in  Round  Square  either  as  members  or  as  candidates  that  are  located  in  50  countries.  
 
The   Round   Square   network   offers   its   members   a   framework   for   excellence   and   continuous  
improvement   along   with   structured   opportunities   to   collaborate   and   share   rich   experiences  
with  like-­‐minded  peers  around  the  world.  This  opportunity  will  amplify  the  impact  of  living  at  
the  School  and  will  provide  an  even  more  enriching  experience  that  shapes  the  lives  of  those  
who  pass  through  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia.

and   internationally   and   are   recognized   by   the   Department   of   Education,   Province   of   Nova  
Scotia,  for  certification  of  private  schools  within  the  Province.  

In   an   effort   on   continuous   improvement,   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   also   participate   in  


international   sessions   in   which   the   International   Baccalaureate   Program   gathers   educational  
leaders,   decision   makers   and   practitioners   from   schools,   universities,   governments,   and  
students  to  develop  and  improve  on  ideas  on  learning  experiences  and  international  education.  

E.A.  Farren,  Limited,  Project  Developer  for  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia,  has  put  in  place  a  highly  
respected   team   experienced   in   education   leadership   and   accreditation   that   will   immediately

This   team   will   at   the   same   time   put   in   place   and   complete   accreditation   processes   that   are  
necessary   to   achieve   recognition   within   the   top   tier   of   independent   schools.   These  
accreditations  bring  assurance  to  parents  and  guardians  that  the  school  uses  best  practices  and  
are   important   for   the   recognition   of   the   school   by   international   agencies   and   Canadian   and  
international   government   departments.   These   accreditations   are   the   Canadian   Association   of

Market  Feasibility  

Student  Recruitment  
E.A.   Farren,   Limited,   Project   Developer   for   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia,   has   retained   Gilbert  
McGloan  Gillis,  Barristers  and  Solicitors,  in  cooperation  with  the  Faculty  of  Business,  University  
of   New   Brunswick   Saint   John,   to   carry   out   an   independent   third   party   review   for   demand   of  
placement   for   students   within   the   Canada   –   United   States   market   area   discussed   between  
Gordonstoun  and  E.A.  Farren,  Limited.  
 
This  report  states  that  the  “…annual  demand  for  placements  at  boarding  schools  in  Canada  and  
the  Eastern  United  States  exceeds  the  available  seats”  …with  acceptance  rates  as  low  as  11%  at  
some   schools   due   to   limited   available   seats.     This   report   further   states   that   Canadian  
immigration   regulations   are   favourable   for   foreign   students   wishing   to   study   in   Canada.   A  
complete  copy  of  this  report  is  contained  in  Appendix  B.  
14  

 
 
Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   put   in   place   a   highly   motivated   student   recruitment   team   that  
will  be  led  by  the  Director  of  Student  Recruitment  and  International  Relations.  This  marketing  
team   will   participate   in   recruitment   events   organized   globally   by   the   Canadian   Association   of  
Independent  Schools  and  by  Canadian  Foreign  Trade  missions  devoted  to  Canadian  education  
recruitment,   and   by   following   through   on   linkages   which   the   Project   Developer   and/or  
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  have  put  in  place.  
 
Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia’s   student   recruitment   efforts   to   attract   a   total   600   student  
enrollment   when   in   full   operation   will   be   focused   on   the   market   area   discussed   between  
Gordonstoun  and  E.A.  Farren,  Limited,  Project  Developer  for  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia,  during  
earlier  meetings  in  Annapolis  Royal,  Nova  Scotia.    
 
This   market   area   as   defined   by   Gordonstoun   includes   1/3rd   enrollment   from   Canada   and   the  
United   States,   1/3rd   Europe,   and   the   remaining   1/3rd   of   student   intake   from   the   rest   of   the  
world.   The   student   recruitment   team   will   be   attentive   to   gender   parity   throughout   its  
recruitment  initiatives.  
 
Proven   countries   of   origin   for   the   successful   recruitment   of   students   in   order   of   rank   within  
present   Canadian   student   recruitment   initiatives   include   China,   India,   France,   South   Korea,  
United  States  of  America,  South  Africa,  Nigeria,  Brazil,  Japan,  and  Mexico.  
 
Increasing  wealth  is  now  providing  additional  opportunities  for  Canadian  student  recruitment  in  
Africa  including  Ethiopia,  and  Rwanda.  In  addition,  Canada  continues  to  improve  linkages  within  
South   America   and   in   South   East   Asia   that   will   also   prove   beneficial   for   Gordonstoun   Nova  
Scotia  student  recruitment.  
 
Combined  with  these  opportunities  for  student  recruitment  is  Canada’s  increasing  reputation  in  
the   global   community   as   a   clean,   safe,   and   healthy   environment   in   which   students   are  
welcomed  and  thrive.  
 
The   student   fees   proposed   by   The   School   are   competitive   within   the   North   American   Market  
and  reflect  the  high  quality  of  education  the  students  will  receive  at  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia.    
The  North  American  average  fee  is  around  $75,000  CAD.  Appendix  B  provides  additional  details  
researched  by  an  independent  third  party  which  authenticate  these  findings.  

Location  
Annapolis  County,  Nova  Scotia  in  which  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  will  be  located  is  within  the  
historic  and  richly  beautiful  Annapolis  Valley  region  of  Nova  Scotia  that  offers  land  and  water  
settings   as   a   great   location   for   learning.   It   also   provides   a   range   of   outdoors   sports   and  
recreation   activities,   and   interaction   within   local   communities   in   a   clean,   healthy,   safe,   and  
delightful  environment  and  for  a  variety  of  activities  and  sports  contained  in  the  Gordonstoun  
Nova  Scotia  broad  curriculum.    
 

15  

 
The   Municipality   of   the   County   of   Annapolis   is   presently   installing   high   speed   internet   fibre  
optic  cable  throughout  the  entire  county  that  will  link  households,  institutions  of  learning,  and  
businesses  with  the  global  community  and  will  enrich  the  learning  experience  at  Gordonstoun  
Nova  Scotia.  
 
Nearby  facilities  include  universities  and  medical  facilities.  Outdoor  facilities  that  complement  
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia’s  broad  curriculum  include  outdoor  areas  such  as  the  Bay  of  Fundy,  
Cornwallis   Basin,   Kejimkujik   National   Park,   Blomidon   Provincial   Park,   the   Grand   Pre   National  
Historic   Site,   Fort   Anne   National   Historic   Site   in   Annapolis   Royal,   and   both   Martock   and  
Wentworth  Valley  for  winter  skiing.  
 
Annapolis  County  is  at  the  same  time  a  part  of  Nova  Scotia  that  is  easily  accessed  from  other  
parts  of  Canada  and  major  international  centres  through  the  international  airport  in  Halifax,  the  
Province   of   Nova   Scotia’s   capital,   and   by   road   and   sea   linkages   with   the   New   England   States  
between  Yarmouth,  Nova  Scotia  and  Portland,  Maine,  with  New  Brunswick  between  Saint  John,  
New  Brunswick,  and  Digby,  Nova  Scotia,  and  between  Prince  Edward  Island  and  Nova  Scotia.  
 
The   Port   of   Halifax,   located   in   the   Province’s   capital,   is   a   key   part   of   Canada’s   road   and   rail  
Atlantic  Gateway  providing  a  marine  gateway  to  global  markets  with  connections  to  over  315  
ports   around   the   world   including   close   Canadian   access   to   the   very   lucrative   Atlantic   Coast  
United  States  and  world  markets.  
 
The   Annapolis   Valley   provides   a   range   of   cultural   activities,   and   is   the   home   of   a   vibrant  
diploma   and   degree   granting   education   industry   that   also   thrives   in   other   parts   of   the   Province  
of  Nova  Scotia  and  its  capital  city  and  serves  Canadian  and  international  students  engaged  in  a  
variety   of   highly   regarded   teaching   disciplines   including   medicine.   The   Annapolis   Valley   also  
retains  strong  evidence  of  its  rich  Canadian  history  that  began  with  its  roots  in  early  French  and  
British  colonial  history  and  of  the  collision  of  empires  most  notably  during  the  Seven  Years  War  
between  Britain  and  France.    
 
These   regional   qualities   will   provide   additional   opportunities   and   benefits   for   students  
participating  in  the  broad  curriculum  and  life  at  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia.  
 
In  addition,  Dr.  Peter  Ricketts,  President,  Acadia  University,  Wolfville,  Nova  Scotia,  itself  a  highly  
recognized  Canadian  University,  has  stated  that  he  sees  opportunities  for  collaboration  were  an  
international  school  based  on  the  Gordonstoun  model  established  in  the  Annapolis  Valley.

incorporate   full   in-­‐house   meal   production   facilities   with   multi-­‐functional   and   format   meal  
facilities,   and   provide   an   integrated   meal   and   nutrition   system   employing   advanced   cooking  
techniques   for   health,   minimum   food   waste   production,   energy   efficiency,   minimized  
transportation  requirements  and  reduced  carbon  footprint.    
 
The  goal  of  this  integrated  meal  and  nutrition  system  is  to  enrich  the  entire  school  population  
with   a   sense   of   being   in   the   agriculturally   rich   heritage   of   the   Annapolis   Valley   and   in   the   world  
beyond.  The  meal  delivery  system  will  support  a  holistic  and  healthy  lifestyle  and  differentiate  
Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   as   a   place   of   learning   which   is   committed   to   experiential   and  
aspirational  learning.  
 
The   second   phase   of   construction   will   be   then   to   commence   construction   and   have   all   facilities  
in  readiness  in  time  to  accommodate  those  students  transitioning  from  Grade  10  into  Grade  11  
and  for  those  who  might  wish  to  enter  the  school  at  that  time  for  completion  of  Grade  12  and  
to  expand  upon  cultural  and  recreational  outlets  for  students.  
 
 E.A.  Farren,  Limited  believes  the  space  requirements  that  will  be  required  to  meet  the  needs  of  
Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   at   full   enrollment   of   600   students   by   completion   of   3rd   phase

The  cost  for  completion  of  the  campus,  everything  in,  including  contingencies,  is  $62.16  million.  
 
This   expenditure   has   been   incorporated   into   the   financing   plan   over   the   three-­‐year  
development  schedule.  The  School  budget  will  also  accommodate  interest  costs  in  the  first  two  
years   and   the   paying   down   of   both   capital   and   operational   costs   during   the   third   year   of  
operations.  
 

Approach  to  Construction  


It   is   important   to   note   in   respect   to   construction   in   view   of   Canadian   seasonality   that   Canadian  
construction   timelines   are   planned   out,   construction   is   carried   out   year-­‐round,   and   buildings  
are  completed  on  time  and  on  budget.  
 
E.A.   Farren,   Limited,   Project   Developer   for   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia,   ensures   that   the   design  
and   completed   construction   of   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   put   in   place   the   first   North  
American   education   campus   to   be   Net   Zero   energy   efficient   and   will   be   located   in   Annapolis  
County,  Nova  Scotia,  a  jurisdiction  that  is  attentive  to  the  environment.  
 
The   internationally   recognized   and   Canadian-­‐based   design   and   construction   team   which   E.A.  
Farren,   Limited   is   working   with   to   construct   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   to   Net   Zero   energy  
efficiency   has   30,000   subscribers   internationally   including   France,   Germany,   and   Switzerland  
who  will  be  fully  informed  about  the  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  campus.  
 
The  construction  methods  for  the  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  will  include:  
1. Net  Zero  energy  efficiency  construction  methods,  the  use  of  alternative  energy  sources  
and  LED  lighting  that  reduce  ongoing  operational  costs  of  the  school  facilities  and  using  
existing  environmental  conditions  that  will  provide  passive  heating  and  cooling  sources.  
2. A  high-­‐performance  building  envelope  design  that  yields  a  large  reduction  in  operating  
energy  costs  through  up  to  90%  reduction  in  heating  and  cooling  energy  loads.    
3. Low,  if  not  minimal,  structural  maintenance  throughout  the  school’s  lifetime.  
4. Construction   methodologies   during   the   construction   phase   that   significantly   reduce  
product  waste  arising  from  cutting,  fitting,  and  reworking  construction  materials.  
5. A   clean   and   toxic-­‐free   environment   that   provides   healthy   classroom   and   student  
accommodation  conditions  and  complete  peace  of  mind  for  parents.  
6. Green  and  responsible  ecological  building  and  operation  practices  that  produce  minimal  
disruption   to   the   environment   and   will   appeal   to   like-­‐minded   parents   and   individuals  
who  wish  to  play  a  part  in  reducing  environmental  impact.  
19  

 
7. Immersing   students   in   a   campus   environment   that   demonstrates   sustainable   building  
examples  and  energy  efficient  greenhouse  organic  food  production.  
8. Very  process  driven  construction  practices  which  result  in  more  efficient  and  precision  
construction  from  start  to  finish  and  with  deadlines  being  met.  
9. Efficiencies  in  the  precision  construction  method  that  will  extend  to  all  sub-­‐contracting  
trades   including   carpentry,   electrical   and   plumbing   resulting   in   less   finishing   material  
waste  and  installation  time.  
10. Greenhouse  organic  food  production  in  a  low  energy  environment  that  provides  healthy  
foods  and  healthy  living  for  students  in  a  multicultural  environment  through  all  related  
food  preparation  facilities,  delivery  systems,  and  inventory  and  quality  control  systems.  
11. An   overall   contribution   to   the   environment   that   will   provide   global   public   relations  
exposure   for   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   and   will   improve   registration   numbers   from  
people  and  families  who  value  contributions  to  the  environment  and  who  wish  to  have  
their  children  educated  in  healthy,  safe  classroom  and  living  conditions.  
 
The   construction   of   each   building   will   coincide   with   student   recruitment   and   enrollment   and  
within   financial   metrics   to   ensure   that   completed   buildings   are   occupied   quickly   to   bring   about  
the  financial  success  of  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia.  
 
This  approach  to  construction  will  ensure  that  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  is  completed  on  time  
and   on   budget   and   top   of   mind   to   families   internationally   throughout   each   phase   of  
construction.    
 
The   Net   Zero   energy   efficiency   approach   to   construction,   while   taking   steps   toward   Canada’s  
Green  House  Gas  target,  will  set  high  environmental  and  energy  efficiency  standards  that  will  
ensure  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  is  cost  effective  in  its  daily  operations,  energy  consumption,  
and   annual   maintenance   costs.   These   features   and   the   environmental   compatibility   of  
Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  within  the  Annapolis  Valley  will  ensure  longevity  of  the  school  fabric  
and   facilities   while   at   the   same   time   providing   a   safe   and   healthy   environment   in   which  
students  live  and  learn.

McKenna   CPA,   CA,   a   corporate   finance   expert   with   over   20   years   of   experience.     Through   his  
services,   a   detailed   financial   projection   has   been   prepared   based   on   a   number   of   key  
assumptions   which   are   outlined   in   the   Financing   Strategy,   page   26.     These   assumptions   are  
critical  to  the  successful  financial  operations  of  the  school  and  users  are  cautioned  that  if  wrong  
could  lead  to  a  materially  different  outcome.    
 
The  key  operational  expenses  have  been  compared  when  fully  operational  with  the  operations  
expenses   of   Gordonstoun   Schools   Limited   and   the   operations   of   other   private   schools   in  
Canada.     Through   the   access   of   publicly   available   data   it   was   determined   that   the   operating  
ratios   and   expenses   appear   reasonable   based   on   the   assumptions   outlined   throughout   this  
business  case.    
 
A   number   of   adjustments   have   been   made   to   account   for   the   efficiency   of   the   construction  
methodology,   LEED   Gold   Standard   energy   efficiency,   and   the   general   economic   conditions   in  
Bridgetown,  Nova  Scotia.

Key  Financial  Assumptions    
The  following  assumptions  are  critical  to  the  financial  projection:  
• Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia   will   operate   as   a   Not-­‐for-­‐profit   school   as   established   under  
the  Canadian  Income  Tax  Act  and,  therefore,  will  not  pay  corporate  income  tax.  
 
• Key  financial  assumptions  include:  
Inflation  rate     2%  
 
Normal  enrolment     600  
Summer  enrolment     200  
 
Normal  enrolment  fees   $   67,800  
Summer  enrolment  fees   $   6,780  
Student  fees,  extracurricular,  sport  fees   $   1,388  
 
Expenses  as  a  percentage  of  revenues      
Gordonstoun  economic  return     3.45%  
Salaries  
  Teaching     24.0%  
  Other     15.5%  
  Pensions     0.4%  
Teaching  cost     5.3%  
Maintenance     4.8%  
Marketing,  administration,  alumni     3.4%  
Refectory,  foods  &  non-­‐foods     14.0%  
Utilities     3.5%  
Insurance     1.6%  
Domestic  &  welfare     0.4%  
Administration  costs     1.4%  
Other  costs     1.7%  
 
The  other  key  financing  assumptions  include:  
 
Senior  debt  interest  rate 4%
Senior  debt  amortization   20  years

Subordinated  debt  interest  rate 8%  


 

27  

 
The  following  key  financial  ratios  are  materialized  on  full  enrolment  commencing  in  the  fourth  
year  of  operations  based  on  the  financial  projections  and  the  financing  assumptions  outlined.  
 
      Year  1   Year  2   Year  3

Financing  Strategy  
E.A.   Farren   Limited,   Project   Developer   for   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia,   in   conjunction   with   the  
other   project   team   members   has   begun   to   identify   other   sources   of   potential  
financing/financial   support   for   this   project.     Although   in   the   early   stages,   several   pools   of   funds  
have  been  identified  as  potential  for  this  project.    Given  the  early  stage  we  have  not  included  
any  of  these  pools  within  the  financial  framework.    The  project  team  also  intends  to  engage  the  
franchisor  to  leverage  their  knowledge  and  relationships  within  the  European  financial  market.  
 
Detailed  financial  projections  have  been  prepared  and  are  presented  in  Appendix  C  –  Income  
Statement,  Appendix  D  –  Balance  Sheet  and  Appendix  E.  
 
The  School  has  developed  a  five-­‐pronged  financing  strategy  which  includes:  
• Senior   debt   placed   with   European   -­‐   based   international   Bank,   Non-­‐Bank,   and   Wealth  
Management  lenders,  and  knowledgeable  in  Not-­‐for-­‐profit  institutions.    
• Subscription   sales   in   the   amount   of   $6   million   in   the   Chinese   student   placement   market  
where  there  is  very  high  and  competitive  placement  demand  for  a  Canadian  and  English  
language  based  education  that  will  be  carried  out  in  conformity  with  School  admission  
standards  and  practices,  
• Subordinated  Debt  in  the  amount  of  $1  million  through  subscription  by  Friends  of  the  
School  to  be  known  as  Incorporators  of  the  School,    
• Cash  flows  through  student  and  Summer  School    student  fees,  and  
• A  Financial  Guarantee  from  the  Province  of  Nova  Scotia  in  the  amount  of  $7.2  million.    
 

28  

 
Working  within  the  construction  budget  it  is  anticipated  that  75%  of  the  construction  cost  will  
be  financed  with  25%  coming  from  operations.      
 
The  School,  as  stated,  within  the  five-­‐pronged  financing  strategy  detailed  on  page  27,  will  sell  
student   placement   seat   subscriptions   that   are   common   in   the   Chinese   market   where   there   is  
very   high   and   competitive   placement   demand   for   prestigious   overseas   education.     A   total   of  
120   subscriptions   will   be   sold   in   strict   conformity   with   the   School’s   admission   standards   at   a  
price  of  $50,000  Canadian  per  subscription.    
 
In   addition,   the   School   will   secure   a   subordinated   debt   like   facility   since   it   is   unable   to   sell  
common   equity   due   to   it’s   not   for   profit   status.   This   subordinated   debt   will   be   sold   by  
subscription   to   supporters   of   the   School’s   educational   philosophy   and   internationally  
recognized   environmental   standards.   There   is   a   strong   local,   regional   and   international  
expression  of  interest  to  support  the  School  in  this  manner.  
 
Subordinated   debt   subscribers   will   be   recognized   as   Incorporators   of   the   School   and   will   be  
listed   as   such   on   the   School’s   web   site   and   in   the   School’s   annual   magazine   printed   for   the  
parents   of   students,   alumni,   and   friends   of   the   School.   Incorporators   will   also   be   invited   to  
significant  student  performed  cultural  and  competitive  sports  events  during  the  academic  year  
and  to  exclusive  lunches.  
 
The   financial   guarantee   requested   of   the   Province   of   Nova   Scotia   will   be   provided   for   the  
benefit   of   the   senior   lender   along   with   a   mortgage   over   the   facility   and   a   general   security  
agreement.   A   $1.0   million-­‐dollar   cash   sweep   has   been   built   into   the   financial   projections  
beginning  in  Year  Three  to  further  improve  the  profile  for  the  senior  lender.

P  &  L  Statements:  The  First  Three  Years  
The  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  team  have  assembled  P  &  L  projections  for  the  first  three  years  
of  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia  operations  that  are  projected  on  conservatively  based  enrollment  
figures  in  order  to  provide  an  acid  test  of  Gordonstoun  Nova  Scotia’s  financial  viability  on  a  go  
forward  basis  in  each  of  its  three  formative  years.    

These  conservatively  based  enrolment  figures  are  as  follows:  

1. 100   students   in   the   first   year   of   operations   enrolled   from   Gordonstoun   Nova   Scotia’s  
student  catchment  area  of  1/3rd  Canada  and  the  United  States,  1/3rd  from  Europe,  and  
1/3rd   from   the   rest   of   the   world.   It   is   also   forecast   that   these   students   will   be  
predominantly   Grade   9   entrants   in   the   first   year   of   operations   with   some   Grade   10  
students   who   can   be   readily   accommodated   within   teaching   staff   recruitment  
arrangements.  

2.  200   students   in   the   second   year   of   operations   inclusive   of   new   Grade   9   students,  
previously  recruited  Grade  9  students  now  moving  into  Grade  10,  some  new  Grade  10  
students   recruited   in   the   second   year   of   student   recruitment,   and   Grade   10   students  
recruited  in  the  first  year  of  operation  now  moving  into  Grade  11.  

3. 375   students   in   the   third   year   of   operations   inclusive   of   newly   recruited   Grade   9  
students   and   the   rollover   of   students   already   in   place   in   the   second   year   of   School  
operations  into  their  next  Grade  level  inclusive  of  previously  enrolled  Grade  11  students  
now  moving  into  Grade  12.  

It  must  be  asked  how  realistic  are  these  conservatively  estimated  student  enrollment  figures?    

They  are  very  realistic  in  the  instance  of  the  Year  1  recruitment  program  that  is  based  on  a  very  
dynamic  and  high  quality  educational  experience  in  the  developmental  and  foundation  year  of  
the  International  Baccalaureate  (IB)  program  for  each  individual  enrolled  in  the  Grade  9  year  of  
a  four  year  High  School  program.    

Those   who   enroll   in   Grade   10   in   the   first   year   of   student   recruitment   will   benefit   similarly   in  
their  foundation  preparation  year  for  Grade  11  which  is  the  first  full  year  of  the  International  
Baccalaureate  (IB)  program.  

It  is  within  this  context  that  student  recruitment  will  be  based  on:    

1. The   huge   reputation   of   the   Gordonstoun   broad   curriculum   program   that   is   based   on   Dr.  
Kurt  Hahn’s  educational  philosophy  and  the  high  quality  educational  experience  that  is  
provided  within  this  framework.  

2. The   sense   of   adventure   that   is   provided   to   students   within   the   broad   curriculum  
program.  

30  

 
3. The  quality  of  education  that  is  provided  through  a  teaching  staff  that  is  recruited  and  
selected   nationally   and   internationally   based   on   their   high   level   of   training   and  
education   in   their   chosen   subject   teaching   area   and   their   leadership   and   motivational  
skills.  

4. The  very  tight  organizational  structure  of  the  School  from  the  parental  perspective  and  
its  strong  plan  going  forward.    

The   P   &   L   statements   based   on   each   of   these   three   projected   academic   years   of   recruitment  
and   operation,   followed   by   the   P&L   statements   with   full   enrolment   of   600   students,   are   as

E.A. Farren Ltd.
P.O. Box 306
Saint John, NB E2L 3Y2

Dear Mr. Farren:

RE: Annapolis County, Nova Scotia Boarding School

Further to our recent meetings, it is our understanding that you desire to


form a company (the “school company”) to construct and operate a
world-class boarding school. The school will be located in Annapolis
County, Nova Scotia. With respect to your development, you have asked
us to address the following (1) the current exchange control Canadian
regime and (2) review and comment on Canadian and Eastern United
States boarding school data.

CANADIAN EXCHANGE CONTROL REGIME

It is our understanding that a foreign investor will have a minority interest in


the school corporation. There are no restrictions on a foreign investor’s
ability to repatriate profits. In fact, there is present no exchange control
regime in Canada. It should be noted that there will be Industry Canada
reporting requirements if the foreign investor acquires a majority interest in
the school or if their investment exceeds $5,000,000. This issue will have to
be reviewed in light of the foreign investor’s interest and actual investment.

CANADIAN AND EASTERN US BOARD SCHOOLS

To support our comments below, we gathered publicly available relevant


data from the leading boarding schools in North America. We then
communicated with each school’s admission office to obtain any missing
details. The data is attached hereto as schedule “A”.

Annual applications

The annual demand for placements at boarding schools in Canada and


the Eastern United States exceeds the available seats. Schools receive
thousands of applications a year which are rejected due to limited
available seats. Acceptance rates at some schools are as low as 11%.
The demand for board school positions greatly exceeds the available
supply.
E.A. Farren Ltd. 2 December 28, 2017

Demand from foreign countries

The demand of international students to Canada has been in rise since the last
five years. Current Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) research
shows that students studying at the primary and secondary level make up
approximately 15 percent of the international student population in Canada. It is
unsurprising that many of these come from the world’s most populous region:
Asia. China and South Korea are the top two source countries.

The Institute of International Education (IIE) found the number of international


students in U.S. high schools more than tripled between 2004 and 2016.
According to a recent Foreign Policy article the number of Chinese students at
U.S. high schools has ballooned in recent years. Given the current state of affairs
in the United States, some families considering American high schools may now
opt for Canadian options. Canada is generally considered by many to be a safer
study destination. Moreover, the immigration rules are also in favour of the
international students. (http://www.vervesmith.com/high-school/high-school-
canada/)

Admission Procedures for International High School students

Admission procedures for International High School students are pretty easy.
There are some simple steps to follow.

Step 1:

Submit duly filled application form to the school with non-refundable application
fee

Step 2:

Proof of English proficiency not older than two years from the date of application

Step 3:

Most recent transcripts of showing performance of last 2 years of studies (varies


from school to school)

If application is accepted by the International Student Co-ordinator, a Letter of


acceptance will be issued to the student. The letter will confirm fee, enrolment
date, program of study and length of program.

Upon receipt of letter of acceptance, students may take it to the nearest


Canadian Embassy, High Commission, or Consulate to apply for a Student Visa or
Study Permit (if required). Generally, applicants will need:
o Documentation verifying personal identification (such as a passport)
o An original Letter of Acceptance
o Proof of funds available to cover tuition and living expenses
o Assurance that the student will return to his/her country of residence after
completion of program

Upon receipt of the letter of acceptance, the student is required to pay the
registration fee and tuition fee for the program of studies. In the event that a
student visa/study permit is not awarded by the Canadian Embassy and the
student provides a letter and evidence to support this claim, the tuition will be
refunded in full.

Immigration Rules: Atlantic International Graduate Program

Lenient Canadian immigration rules allow foreign or international students to work


in Canada after they graduate. Atlantic International Graduate Program is one
of such programs which allow foreign or international students to live and work in
Canada after completion of their studies. The program requires hiring of a foreign
skilled worker or international student graduate to fill labour gaps in New
Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland and Labrador.

Fee levels: Comparison with North Eastern American Schools and other Canadian
Schools

Different fee structure is adopted by different international boarding schools in


the North Eastern American Schools and other Canadian Schools. This gives a
variety to the international students. Canadian schools have a lot to offer apart
from less expensive tuition fee when compared to United States. It is noteworthy
that the average annual United States board school fees are approximately
$75,000 (Canadian) and the most expensive school fees approach $100,000
(Canadian).

Atlantic Canada boarding school demand

Private schools across Canada are increasing in recent years because of the
demand by the parents and students as they believe that quality of education is
far better than any public school. Large chunks of students are left with no
admission as the older private schools of 19th century gets their admissions filled
early and the students have very less to choose from. This shows that there is a
need and demand for growth in private schools.

About hundreds of families inquire about openings at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir


School in Alberta each year despite having options to enroll in other schools.
Usually few spots are open, with major entry points in Grades 7 and 10. Families
are more concerned about learning styles. Another private boarding school, viz.
Lakefield College School in Ontario, grades 9 to 12 school, receives about 700
inquiries a year and accepts about 135 new students. In smaller markets, families
looking at private schools have fewer choices. In Atlantic Canada, most
prospective students apply with King’s-Edgehill School, NS because of lack of
options and it receives only 175 to 200 applicants each year as compared to 600
to 700 applicants in Upper Canada or Western Canada.

This shows the growing concern for more number of international private
boarding schools in Atlantic Canada. In the last one decade, private school
enrolment increased in every province except P.E.I. and New Brunswick where
there was a very slight decline. In British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan,
private school enrolment grew by 24-34 per cent over a short period. These
occurred during a 13-year period when Canada’s school-age population shrank
significantly.

Pertinent results

The table below shows private boarding schools trends in each province and the
relation to overall enrolment.
E.A. Farren Ltd. 5 December 28, 2017

Across Canada, demand for private schools is clearly rising.

Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you have any questions,
comments, or concerns.
