Enrollment Services

Improve Student and Family Retention and Yield

Qualitative research is at the core of Jill's Enrollment Services. If the school cannot deliver on its brand promises, articulate its value proposition, or struggles to attract talented faculty and mission-appropriate students, you will see an increase in attrition. Although you may have conducted interviews with families to determine the causes of attrition or why they did not choose your school, you will rarely get the whole story. 

Her research recommendations can inform strategic initiatives to increase retention of students and families, increase internal positive word-of-mouth, and decrease attrition.

 Jill uses several proprietary systems for her research methodology. Each study includes detailed reporting and recommendations.

“In our decision to engage Jill, we were looking for someone who had a deep understanding of independent schools and was interested in including and managing many voices as we crafted strategies and action plans that would allow us to reach our enrollment goal.  Her research, insights, and thoughtful guidance helped us develop a cross-divisional strategy to move us forward together.”
