New data show a recent strong increase in private school enrollment, despite a prior expectation of decline. These data suggest an increase in private school graduates through 2018, then potential decline up to 12 percent by 2025.

“The Royals”

Ironically, some of these schools include those in the very best position to truly innovate, but

which face the hurdle of a community or a board that feels “it ain’t broke.”

“The Innovators”

Potential for courageous, even radical, experimentation with pricing,

compensation, and class size, along with creative use of the essential building blocks

of time (schedule) and space (facilities), could lead to accelerating differentiation

among independent schools that might be worthy of the innovation label.

“The Laggards”

Stuck in certain traditions and unwilling to change. Although independent schools are hardy plants and seem to be able to survive in greatly changed climates for long periods

of time, that is not to say they’ll thrive.

John’s Conclusion• How and in what direction to innovate?

• What path should a school pursue to differentiate itself?

• Think boldly about “fixed” elements of our financial models like pricing, compensation, and even our classroom quantization.

• These are especially ripe:• How we measure student progress? • What do we consider to be success? • The demilitarized zone between

secondary school and higher education?
