FACT: Admission is 90% of your school's budget

The admission department is the linchpin for the smiling, happy faces in the seats and a budget that supports long-term vitality of your school.  Admissions can’t be left to chance, and more often than not opportunities are left on the table.  Spending money on mass-media marketing to recruit new students?  Perhaps you are wasting precious capital.  Our approach looks at the mission — and the message — of your school.  We profile the right families, delight them with your process, make your teams more efficient and deliver results. We apply a PROfessional and PROven skill set to complement your already enthusiastic enrollment teams.

What is the exact identity profile for the type of students who succeed at your school?  Where do these students live; where do their parents work; how much do they earn; and do you know the education level of prospective parents?  We develop custom blueprints of the exact families you want to reach.  With our laser-targeted list creation tool, full-pay families will be firmly in your sights.
