As a former K-12 private schooler, the one I went to was non-profit. It eventually went out of business due to being run a little bit too non-profit even though it existed for 20 years. I really enjoyed my time there and was sad to see it go out of business. Many private schools are not profitable institutions by a long shot. They could use a little bit more profit motive sometimes. Many private schools are either: * some religious institution, like a catholic school * some really old private school that has kept on going because it's where all the rich kids go to with a relatively large endowment. * opening with a specific charter in mind, like a sudbury school
