Admission Academy Overview
Boarding school admission officers need a specialized
set of skills. This academy is designed to teach those important skills
to individuals with less than two years of experience. A dynamic team
of proven admission leaders guides participants through a comprehensive
workshop agenda, offering pragmatic solutions to the challenges faced
by those that present the mission of the school to the general public.
Truly a nuts-and-bolts workshop, the techniques and methods presented
will benefit your students and campus community.
“This Academy has me so excited to be working in an admission
office. I can’t wait to get back to my school and start!”
