25-26 Student Recruitment & Enrollment Plan

  • Expand Outreach Efforts:
    • Prioritize targeted outreach campaigns in high-traffic areas focusing on local businesses and public events.
  • Leverage Family Referrals:
    • Engage current families with personalized communication encouraging them to spread the word about their positive school experience.
  • Increase Presence at Community Events:
    • Participate in local fairs, neighborhood events, school expos and cultural celebrations to engage with the community.
  • Invest in Traditional and Digital Advertising:
    • Allocate budget to billboard ads, bus ads, and digital marketing strategies including Google Ads and targeted social media ad campaigns.
  • Door-to-Door Canvassing and Personal Outreach:
    • Organize door-to-door canvassing in neighborhoods with high recruitment potential, focusing on face-to-face interaction to build trust and familiarity.
