Advancement Associates  

Constituent Relations Counsel Enrollment Counsel

An effective enrollment program is a vital component of the overall advancement effort for church-related schools. Enrollment results often affect the “bottom line” even more dramatically than do financial gifts. Advancement Associates specializes in helping K-12 church-related schools implement “best practices” in enrollment.

Through this service, AAI will help your organization to:

  • identify student markets with greatest potential
  • create short-range and long-range goals for growth
  • develop strategies for recruitment of new students
  • monitor and improve retention among current students
  • provide direction for creating formal enrollment plans
  • conduct formal market research to determine awareness, perception and interest among prospective students and their parents
  • mentor staff and volunteers as they work in enrollment

AAI’s approach to enrollment consultation is to introduce clients to a list of enrollment “best practices,” and to customize these principles to their own situations .
