Do Something That Matters
Make informed decisions with data! Our comprehensive surveys have been used by independent schools large and small to track mission and vision, academic rigor, and organizational performance. Since 1994, our surveys have helped schools of all kinds take a deep and detailed look at attitudes and opinions of your staff and families in nearly every operational component of your school.
Our surveys are personalized and focused on you and your needs, helping you uncover areas of neglect and point you toward excellence delivered in reports that are understandable and usable.

Surveying On Your Own Is Not Advisable
While online survey services provide you data, we provide you with a partner who cares about the success of your school and the impact it has for the greater good. Our surveys are personalized, professional, and optimized for independent schools. Our detailed data collection and reporting is one of a kind. Since 1994, our service to hundreds of schools in this manner is unparalleled.
We Are Experts In Data Analysis
From start to finish we will help you understand the data that is collected for you. You will be able to see the survey ahead of time, and with our guidance you can request question or answer option revisions, deletions, or additions. Once we receive the email addresses of all who should receive the survey, we will distribute the survey and monitor all reminders and data collection. Once the survey period ends (typically two weeks) we begin crunching the data and return to you a professionally presented report of the results and narrative, including a free online consultation. We work with numerous configurations within 14 types of data reports. All of our survey reports are provided in a PDF and PowerPoint format. You are not billed until you receive your final report.
You Can Make Wise Decisions With Verifiable Data!
Schools that determine to use data to make decisions will be the schools that thrive for years ahead. Why? No longer can making decisions be based on gut reaction or by committee only. See our blog post on Data-Based Decision-Making & the Christian School and understand how this best affords leaders the opportunity to understand the culture and community objectively and leads to more accurately assessing circumstances. Leave the hard work to us and show your staff, families, and the greater community that you are making planned, professional strides to understand opinions and use that information in a constructive manner to improve your school and make it viable for years to come.

Head of School 360 & Board Self-Assessment ($795 for standard question set)
Enhance the Head of School's annual review with objective data generated by ratings from the HOS, school board, and staff. This tool provides objective information to help strengthen school leadership (we can also conduct a 360 review of division principals). Opinions are collected regarding, Mission/Vision, Community Impact, Policy/Environment, Personal Character, Finances, Facilities, Personnel & Program, Enrollment, Student Body & Trust.
The Board Self-Assessment performs well with any style of board structure and is completed by the board members only, for their own scrutiny and evaluation. Board self-assessment, from our vantage point, should be required by the board on an annual basis to help identify any gaps in performance and function and to then undertake the needed changes in training to improve upon or completely close those gaps. It is incumbent upon the board to govern themselves and to reflect critically on their own role and function regardless of its overall governance model.
Best Time to Use: This should be conducted in the early part of the second semester and only after the HOS has been issued a contract for the upcoming school year.
