On April 23, David Smith led an insightful session on how independent schools can strategically align fundraising, tuition models, and DEIB work to build stronger, more inclusive school communities—and secure long-term sustainability.

Key takeaways:

➡️ Tuition increases are fueling an affordability crisis, threatening socioeconomic diversity.

➡️ Schools should replace traditional financial aid narratives with a focus on using the discount rate to support student excellence.

➡️ Independent school heads should promote coalitions of DEIB staff with CFOs, enrollment managers, and advancement directors to collaboratively shift the financial model.

The future of independent schools depends on integrating DEIB and business operations. Let’s build that future—together.
