"The only way to have an effective and efficient enrollment cycle, and realistically move into retention, is if students want to stay. They have to feel connected and feel continuity in the process. We recognize the importance of having touchpoints between when they’re admitted to when they start with us in the summer.”

"It's not just a matter of the entry point, but also retention. There are always things you can do, like checking in with families after school starts and then 30, 60, and 90 days into the year. Make a phone call every 30 days or so to see how things are going, and make sure you're still known. Because the biggest recruitment tool we have is word of mouth.”
