Enrollment management is changing quickly. Shifting family expectations, affordability concerns, new uses of artificial intelligence, demographic pressures, and uncertainty surrounding international student enrollment are creating new challenges for private-independent school admission offices.

In this panel-style webinar, experienced enrollment leaders will discuss the emerging and urgent issues they are encountering during the current admission season. Rather than focusing on a single trend or strategy, the conversation will examine what is changing, what appears to be gaining importance, and how schools are responding.

You’ll hear how prospective families are approaching the admission process differently, where enrollment managers are seeing new pressures on recruitment and yield, and how AI may reshape both the work of admission offices and the ways families search for and evaluate schools. The panel will also consider the current international student landscape and what schools should be watching as they plan future enrollment strategies.

Moderated by Michael Christopher, ISM Consultant, the discussion will combine observations from the field with practical implications for enrollment leaders navigating an increasingly complex marketplace.

You will:

• Identify emerging issues affecting private-independent school recruitment, admission, yield, and retention.
• Consider how changing parent expectations and affordability concerns may influence enrollment decisions.
• Explore how artificial intelligence may affect admission practices, communications, research, and family decision-making.
• Assess current challenges and opportunities surrounding international student enrollment.
• Determine which developing enrollment trends warrant attention at your school now.

This webinar is for:

Admission and Enrollment Management Directors, School Heads and Assistant Heads, Marketing and Communications Directors, other school leaders responsible for enrollment strategy.
