Episode 120: It May Be Time For You To Consider A Continuous Enrollment Model
“Enrollment Season”
Two words that can stir up a variety of emotions in nearly every private school leader. Enrollment season can cause you to feel stress, anxiety and uncertainty. You might be thinking “here we go again” and that is going to be a real grind.
According to Independent School Management, 30–40% of private schools are currently using a continuous enrollment model or are working toward implementing this approach in the near future.
For 31 years, I was used to a very traditional model: send out enrollment contracts, remind families of the deadline, start making phone calls when the deadline has passed, etc. But, two years ago, my most recent school switched to a continuous enrollment model and it has been a real game-changer.
On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, I want you to know that It May Be Time For You To Consider A Continuous Enrollment Model.
I know that you are super busy, so be sure to listen while you are doing something else. I hope that you will get value from this episode as you serve and lead your school community. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to listen to the podcast!
Thanks for making a difference,

Being a private school leader is a VERY difficult job. You have to make hundreds of decisions every day, and you have to keep everyone safe, increase enrollment, keep the parents happy, keep the board happy, motivate the teachers, deal with student discipline, beat last year’s test scores and come in under budget.
That can lead to you feeling tired, discouraged and stressed out. I’ve been there. That’s why I created THRIVE Academy just for yo
