  • Can Events Still Help Our School?
    Dec 10 2025

    What type of events has your school been running and are you being as effective as you can be with them? We explore several opportunities that your school could be implementing and evaluating to maximize impact. Often, we do great at the planning pre-event and execute well at the event. What does the post-product look like? Publish the numbers and move on to the next? You might be missing some great opportunities to expand your mission through what you already have on the calendar!

  • Setting and Evaluating Tuition Rates in Christian Schools
    Nov 4 2025

    We all know the importance tuition has on our overall budgets. But when is the last time you truly evaluated your school's tuition rates? Was the conversation geared towards increasing tuition or was there ever a consideration of decreasing the rates? The only way we could ever consider a decrease is if our overall budget is more than satisfied, right? Randy Sadler and Bob Arritt of Padeia Academy share some incredible and transparent insights of their personal discoveries when they stepped back and assessed some of their financial metrics in tuition setting. This is a great conversation to help all schools take a more detailed look at their current rates and the impact it might be having on their bottom line.
