We're back with culturally responsive recruitment & enrollment opportunities for families of color to engage in independent school culture.
It's 2021, and our families and students are still negotiating a year of COVID 19 and racial justice protests.
Yet, we RIISE!
Register now to join us on Sunday, 5.23, at 2:00 pm for our 9th RIISE Parent Power Conference -part recruitment, part enrollment, and always culturally responsive!
Following your registration, we'll begin to share details on how to log onto Critical Parent Discussions, the Powerhouse Scholar Panel, and Boutique School Fair.
*We are prepping with Critical Parent Discussions on 5.19, 5.20, 5.21. More details below.
Thanks to our participating independent schools and sponsors for demonstrating a commitment to equity recruitment & enrollment by supporting families of color networks.
Big shout-out to sponsors Ashley Hall School in Charleston, Ethical Culture Fieldston School and Riverdale Country School in the Bronx!

Did you know that on average, Black and LatinX students represent just 4-6% of student enrollment in independent schools? (NAIS Facts at a Glance)
Clearly, there's more work to be done to build awareness, access, application, and enrollment in culturally responsive ways!

Experience our Boutique School Fair representing a diverse group of prestigious independent schools on the east coast: day, boarding, single-sex, co-ed, pk-12!
