Independent schools face unique challenges every year. Deborah Dowling, Executive Director of the California Association of Independent Schools, and Romayne Levee, Mission Minded Partner & Director of Strategy, want to help you anticipate them and thrive.

Free yourself from the cycle of reacting first and planning later. Together, they highlighted the critical independent school trends taking shape in 2024 that are poised to continue into 2025. Drawing from their unique vantage points—Deb’s deep understanding of statewide challenges and opportunities, and Romayne’s strategic insights on brand and institutional strategy—they engaged school leaders in a provocative dialogue about the key strategic headlines shaping the future. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve and strengthen their school’s relevance, impact, and long-term sustainability.
