Independent schools are facing a new educational landscape affected by rapid changes in the demographic, economic, and social composition of their student and parent populations. How can schools evolve to best meet families’ needs?
The world of charitable giving to independent schools is becoming more complex, so it’s important to understand why donors give to your school. What circumstances push them to give? What outcomes are they hoping for when they donate to your school?
There are many incredible teachers and teachers-to-be who would appreciate the opportunity to work at an independent school. Understanding why they do or don’t make this switch is crucial to attracting—and retaining—top talent.
