Why Your School? Articulating Your Unique Value Proposition

Effective admission officers are true students of their own schools, studying their own communities, cultures, and students as if the school were a subject to be mastered. How might you build a deep understanding of your school’s culture, community and unique learning environment and connect prospective students, prospective parents, and others with this narrative–especially when you have only a few moments to capture someone’s attention? We’ll introduce you to the elevator pitch exercise during this session.
