Hi Ellen-
Just came across an article about how a Catholic School PTG is marketing their school and blogged about it -- thought you'd be interested in reading it.

Hi Ellen-
Found this on the net and it seemed to have some good suggestions on how to market small schools.

The idea of having a seminar for current and prospective parents sounds like a good way to attract new people, if you promote it correctly. Internet Safety is a hot topic right now -- how about running an Internet Safety Night?

Any small schools have some ideas they'd like to add?

Keep us posted on your school. We wish you the best of luck.

I am serving my third year as the Pres. of our school's PTS. We are a small school PreK-8th with only 53 students. We are looking for ways to advertise and market our parochial school to help it thrive and grow. Thought we were making strides by getting out in the community more with our group, but based on our numbers right now, looks like we need MORE ideas. :confused: I'd love to hear how you grow your school. Thanks!
