Effective Admissions and Enrolment
By:
Dr. David Willows
Director of Admissions and Advancement
International School of Brussels
Workshop Overview
The admissions office performs a critical, connected function in the life of an international school. The admissions professional is responsible for communicating a learning vision to prospective families, administering a complex and efficient process, meeting clearly-defined enrolment targets, as well as managing a set of relationships both inside and outside of the school.
This workshop will provide participants with a tool kit for managing a successful admissions office that supports the learning vision and mission of the school.
