Now, what sort of instructors would one need for such a school?
Well, probably not me, my FI course certainly did nothing for equipping me to teach on this class of aircraft. I've only sat in one, yet to have the opportunity to fly in one but I was most impressed with the overall layout and I was shown a brief tour of the avionics.

I think I'd probably want 1500 hours or so more, working up through maybe an Arrow with twin Garmin 430/530 or such and a conversion course. Even then, I'm not sure the Cirrus as such is a good idea for effects of controls or climbing and descending! Is there a suitable ab initio type to feed in to the Cirrus?
