Through our development work across the country, you have encouraged us to address the growing challenges you face in enrolling the desired quantity, quality, and diversity of students in your Catholic school.  By creating a new enrollment division, your enrollment is now even more of a priority for ISPD.

The answer to most Catholic School enrollment issues facing you today relate back to the age-old question of faith and works.  It goes without saying that you must have faith in the product your school is offering.  But, faith without works is simply not enough today for your school’s enrollment.  It is essential that you implement the work of sound business practices into your enrollment effort.
If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten. The time is now for Catholic institutions to change direction.

Specifically, through recruitment seminars, consulting services, on-line newsletters and this website, ISPD’s enrollment division empowers you to:

• Understand the “Big Picture” Dynamics of Successful Enrollment Management

• Relate better to the Specific Needs of Elementary & Secondary Student & Family Audiences

• Build a more robust pool of inquiries through traditional & non-traditional means

• Capture Key Enrollment Information as it comes into your school through various channels

• Connect with those prospects that are knocking on your school’s door right now

• Relate your school’s story in a compelling, seamless communication flow

• Capitalize on technology to implement a results-proven system of enrollment

• Articulate & design a consistent brand image in your school’s market

• Launch or reinvent a school website that is less a warehouse of information for current students and more of a one-to-one marketing tool to engage prospective student/family visitors to your site

Does this all sound overwhelming?  Well, ISPD presents you these solutions in a retreat type setting that starts with prayer.  In a recent seminar, John Cooper said, “As I go through this presentation, I encourage you to ask me how any of these strategies and techniques relate to the Catholic faith.  Every marketing, recruitment, or retention idea I share is an opportunity to share the Catholic faith more fully and effectively.” 

The most crucial strategies, tactics, and ideas are highlighted and prioritized.  ISPD is your partner.  ISPD consultants know that their success depends on the degree to which you actually implement the important aspects of the system they offer you.
