SUMMARY:Keynote | Small School\, Big Brand
DESCRIPTION:Small schools face a choice: compete like larger institutions or compete as something entirely different. Too often\, they choose the former\, borrowing tactics from big schools and attempting to prove they offer just as much. The result? Marketing that positions distinctive schools as scaled-down versions of their competitors. This keynote offers a better strategy. Drawing from a decade as Chief Brand Officer at Mount Presbyterian School and four years leading brand strategy for independent schools\, Trey Boden reveals why small schools' inherent advantages (intimacy\, agility\, personalization) are precisely what today's families value most. You'll explore why "doing more with less" weakens your position rather than strengthening it\, how to identify the strategic advantages only your school can deliver\, and what effective communication looks like when resources are limited but clarity is not. Walk away with practical approaches to make your size your greatest differentiator and a positioning strategy that competes on your terms\, not theirs.

SUMMARY:Alternative Revenue Streams & Resource Development
DESCRIPTION:Tuition alone can't sustain the full breadth of mission-driven programming many small schools aspire to offer. In this session\, the head of school of The Fletcher School and executive director of The Rankin Institute at Fletcher School will share their plans to build alternative revenue streams that strengthen both financial sustainability and educational impact.&nbsp\;\n\nFletcher's leaders will share their journey: how they identified this opportunity at the intersection of mission and market need\, built infrastructure to support community-facing programs while protecting their core academic operations\, scaled services over two decades\, and are working on plans to obtain sustainable revenue while maintaining quality and mission alignment. They'll discuss what's working now\, lessons learned from programs that didn't take off as expected\, and their strategic vision for the Institute's next chapter.\n\nSession attendees will have the opportunity to participate\, collaborate\, and share with like-minded colleagues as they brainstorm their own goals and objectives.\n\n

SUMMARY:The Multi-Role Reality: Leading When You Wear Many Hats
DESCRIPTION:In small schools\, leadership often means being head of school\, admissions director\, development officer\, and crisis manager—all before lunch. This session acknowledges the unique pressures of multi-role leadership and offers practical strategies for thriving\, not just surviving\, in this reality. Join Beverly Fowler\, Head of School at Salisbury Academy\, to explore how to prioritize effectively when everything feels urgent\, set boundaries that protect your energy and effectiveness\, and build systems that create leverage even with limited staff. Through candid discussion and shared experiences\, you'll examine when to delegate\, when to let go\, and how to communicate your constraints clearly to boards and stakeholders who may not fully understand the scope of your responsibilities. This is a space to name the challenges openly\, learn from peers navigating similar terrain\, and leave with concrete tools for managing role overload while staying connected to the mission-driven work that called you to small school leadership in the first place.\n

SUMMARY:Building Your Marketing Stack
DESCRIPTION:Small school marketing teams face an impossible challenge: deliver professional brand work with little to no staff\, limited budget\, and endless demands. AI has changed what's possible\, but most schools don't know how to leverage it strategically. This session helps you build your marketing stack one brick at a time\, choosing the right foundations\, tools\, people\, and processes for your school's reality. You'll learn the essential brand standards that make AI useful instead of generic\, how to think strategically about where to invest in people versus automation\, and which tools deliver professional results without professional budgets. The centerpiece is a live demonstration of Claude for Teams\, showing how to set up project instructions\, use shared projects with your team\, and turn them into plugins that scale your capability. Walk away with templates\, a decision matrix for building your team\, and a clear picture of which bricks you're already using and which brick to add next.

SUMMARY:Keynote | Sustainable Financial Models for Small Schools
DESCRIPTION:Small schools don’t have the luxury of inefficiency. Every program choice\, every hire\, every enrollment decision reverberates across the whole institution. The margin for error is thinner\, but the opportunity for clarity is greater.\n\nServing as a senior leader or trustee of a small independent school is deeply rewarding – and undeniably demanding. This work\, best done in strong partnership between board and leadership\, has become more complex in an increasingly dynamic landscape\, with the headwinds of growing budget deficits\, declining enrollment\, compounding operational expenses\, and rising expectations from families.\n\nIn this engaging and practical keynote\, Sadie Albertyn of Mission & Data invites participants into a shared understanding of what true sustainability requires. Drawing on Mission & Data’s national work with independent schools from coast to coast and from big to small\, this session explores how schools move from viability to stability and ultimately toward long-term financial and organizational sustainability. Along the way\, we’ll examine the core concepts\, key indicators\, common pitfalls\, and data-informed strategies that help leaders align enrollment\, staffing\, program design\, and financial modeling into a resilient institutional engine.\n\nGrounded in both theory and real-world practice\, this session pairs clear frameworks with practical examples tailored to the unique pressures facing small schools\, equipping leaders with the language\, perspective\, and tools needed to make disciplined\, mission-aligned decisions for the long term.

SUMMARY:Tuition Pricing & Financial Aid Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Setting tuition each year is one of the most consequential decisions independent school leaders and boards make. It sits at the intersection of mission and market\, requiring schools to balance affordability\, accessibility\, competitiveness\, and long-term financial sustainability. And the stakes are high: for most independent schools\, tuition is the single largest driver of financial health.\n\nIn every school’s financial model there are small levers and big levers. Leaders spend enormous energy adjusting the small ones – managing expenses\, refining staffing allocations\, trimming program costs. Those matter\, but tuition strategy is one of the biggest levers a school has. Getting it right\, now and over time\, has an outsized impact on sustainability.\n\nIn this practical breakout session\, Sadie Albertyn of Mission & Data explores how schools can think more strategically about tuition pricing and financial aid in order to strengthen Net Tuition Revenue\, the financial engine that powers most independent schools. We’ll examine how pricing decisions\, discounting strategies\, enrollment demand\, and financial aid policies interact to shape overall financial and organizational sustainability.\n\nMission & Data has worked with more than 225 independent schools across the United States and internationally\, as well as with 25+ state\, regional\, national\, and international school associations. This work provides a broad perspective on the challenges schools face today and creates opportunities to cross-pollinate effective practices from across the sector. In this session\, participants will hear what is working – and what isn’t – at schools around the country\, while gaining clear frameworks\, key metrics\, and a shared language to help leaders and trustees approach tuition and financial aid strategy with greater clarity\, confidence\, and discipline.\n\n

SUMMARY:Building a Culture That Attracts & Retains Educators
DESCRIPTION:Small schools face a critical challenge: staff retention and recruitment consistently rank among the top concerns for school leaders. Yet recent SAIS research on early-career educators reveals that culture – not just compensation – is what keeps talented teachers engaged and committed in the long term. This session explores how to intentionally build and sustain a school culture that becomes your strongest recruitment and retention tool.\nDrawing on findings from SAIS research\, you'll discover what today's educators truly need to thrive.\n\nThis session will guide you through practical\, research-backed strategies\, and we will discuss how to create multi-tiered support systems\, build recognition practices\, design feedback mechanisms that give educators voice and agency\, and foster the relationships and sense of belonging that keep people rooted in your community. Whether you're facing high turnover or proactively building retention\, you'll leave with a clear action plan to make your school a place where educators don't just work\, they choose to stay\, grow\, and build careers.

SUMMARY:Development: From Wishful Thinking to Financial Strategy
DESCRIPTION:When enrollment dips or budgets tighten small school leaders quickly turn to development as a solution. But development is not a rescue plan\, it’s a long-term revenue strategy.\n\nIn this session\, Jill Goodman\, founder of Jill Goodman Consulting\, will reframe development as a core component of financial sustainability rather than a hopeful fix for budget shortfalls. Jill will bust the myths that undermine development efforts\, including overreliance on events\, unrealistic goal setting\, and the search for the one big donor who will solve all problems. She will also share development truths through practical examples and real-world case studies. Participants will learn how to reframe their thinking about development by\nDiversifying revenue streams beyond tuition dependence.Building leadership giving relationship pipelines.Aligning finance and development around shared strategy.Eliminating activities that cannibalize time and revenue capacity.Investing wisely in development to cultivate long-term partnerships.\nSchool leaders will leave with a clearer understanding of how to move from reactive fundraising to a disciplined\, multi-year financial strategy that positions their school for sustainable growth.
