20 More - Four Holiday Gifts Just For You
In the spirit of the holidays, unpack this edition of 20 More to see how any school can:
Generate thousands in new revenue with one simple change to your enrollment process.
Build a Parent Admission Ambassador program that actually drives enrollment.
Give your administrative leaders the greatest gift of all - time for Strategic Wonder.
Mitigate or avoid completely the dangers of voucher programs.
Ditch The Enrollment Deposit and Generate Thousands in Revenue: If your school uses a traditional enrollment contract with an annual enrollment deposit or an evergreen contract that requires an annual enrollment deposit, then stop right now and see how your school can generate significant annual revenue by switching to a one time “enrollment fee.” Learn More.
Parent Admission Ambassador Programs - What Really Works: For independent schools seeking to strengthen any aspect of their enrollment efforts, “parent admission ambassador” programs feel like the perfect win-win: parents get involved, prospective families hear authentic voices, and the admission office extends its reach without adding staff. But here’s the hard fact no one talks about: many parent ambassador programs in private schools quietly fail to deliver on their potential to move the enrollment needle. Learn What Really Works.
A Year of Strategic Wonder - Creating Space for Curiosity in School Leadership: Independent schools pour tremendous energy into leadership, yet senior administrators rarely have what they need most: space. Space to reflect, question, imagine, and explore—without having to solve a crisis, approve a hire, adjust a schedule, or navigate disagreement. Learn how one school gave its leaders the gift of time to engage in a year of Strategic Wonder.
The Dangers of Vouchers Continue to Rise: Across the country, voucher and school choice programs are expanding faster than many expected. For some private schools, these programs now supply a substantial portion of annual tuition revenue. But beneath this short term boost lies a deeper risk: voucher driven revenue is politically volatile, financially unpredictable, and capable of destabilizing a school that becomes too dependent on it. Learn how to avoid or mitigate the risks to your school.
