NAIS Governance Webinar Series: Trends Shaping the Independent School Landscape

Independent schools are navigating a rapidly changing landscape shaped by demographic shifts, evolving enrollment patterns, economic pressures, changing parent expectations, and the expansion of school choice initiatives. What do trustees need to understand about these trends—and what might they mean for their schools? Explore key forces shaping the independent school sector and their implications for mission, enrollment, financial sustainability, and long-term strategy. Trustees will leave with greater context for considering how external trends may create both opportunities and challenges and for asking the strategic questions that will help their schools navigate what comes next.

Presenters:

• Debra P. Wilson, president, NAIS
• Justin Perillo, general counsel, NAIS
