Connor Associates’ President Michael Connor was onsite at Santa Fe Christian Schools in Solana Beach, CA on February 29, 2024, to personally present the results and recommendations from their Enrollment Feasibility and 2028 Enrollment Forecast Study.

He met with Head of Schools Rod Gilbert, Chief Financial & Operations Officer Kurt de Pfyffer, the Academic Leadership Team, the Advancement Team and the Board of Directors for an evening Retreat.

Work continues this Spring with an Image Audit of prospective families, Christian influencers, feeder and matriculating schools, current families, and other constituencies and organizations the School wants to attract and retain. The Image Audit report and recommendations will be presented June 21, 2024 to the School’s leadership and Board.??

Head of Schools Rod Gilbert had this to say about our work to date:

Michael and his team at Connor Associates delivered solid and actionable information with the Current-Year Enrollment Feasibility Study and Five-Year Enrollment Forecast.? His expertise in various school markets gave my board assurance that we were all fulfilling our fiduciary responsibilities with aggressive vision.? In addition, my administrative team has already started acting on the low hanging fruit he recommended to adjust our marketing campaigns.?

Now, we are looking forward to the Image Audit results this summer. We want to know how our reputation?is perceived with missionally-focused citizens?in our area.? From those two different studies, I hope to enhance our programs and take our mission even more thoroughly?into the homes of San Diego.
