Don't just survive - thrive.

The challenges are enormous.

The opportunities endless.

Enrollment in Catholic schools decreased sharply from the late 2000's until the middle of 2020. The National Catholic Education Association notes, "the decrease in [the] number of schools since 2009 is 959 (13.2%). The number of students declined by 403,168 (18.4%)." But... Catholic schools enrolled more than 62,000 students this year.

Tuition has also changed drastically over time. According to The 74 (an online news site), "Catholic schools have raised their inflation-adjusted annual tuition nearly 600 percent in those four decades, from $873 to $5,858."

Fluctuations in enrollment. Ever increasing tuition. How will you stay true to your mission without students? Or with a fluctuating enrollment?
