Regulations Governing the Establishment, Restructuring, Merger and Discontinuation of Schools and Branch Campuses and Branch Departments at the Senior High School Level or Below Article 6

Applications for the establishment, change, or discontinuation of private schools and their branch campuses and branch departments by the school corporations shall be reviewed and approved by the school regulatory authorities in accordance with the laws and regulations governing schools at all levels, and factors like the geographical location of the school or origins of its students shall be taken into consideration.Provisions concerning school corporations in these Regulations are applicable to private school foundations established before the enforcement of the amended Private School Law on January 18, 2008 when they apply for the establishment of additional private schools, branch campuses, and branch departments, or for changes thereto or discontinuation thereof. However, when such private school foundations apply for the establishment of additional private schools, they must be reconstituted as school corporations and private schools established thereby pursuant to Paragraph 2, Article 87 of the Private School Law before the school regulatory authorities can approve their applications.
