With a proven scaffolding of process and benchmarks, underpinned by powerful technology, proprietary research, and market insight, we work with schools and educational organizations to devise the best type of search for their community.

Additionally, all head of school and key administrator searches include the option of engaging in implicit bias training for search committees at no extra cost.
