EMA members have access to a wide variety of enrollment solutions such as the SSAT, Character Skills Snapshot, and the Standard Application Online. We also offer Recruitment Fairs, FAM Tours, and the ability to purchase international student prospect lists.
Recruitment Fairs, Agent Fairs, and FAM Tours
Our International Recruitment Fairs and agent fairs are designed to deliver extensive networking with students, parents, agents/consultants, as well as overseas enrollment professionals.
Our FAM (Familiarization) Tours are one of the best ways to demonstrate your school's unique programs through a personalized campus visit that provides approximately 15 consultants and agents, from key countries, with a first-hand experience of your school.
EMA operates recruitment events across the globe and FAM Tours throughout the United States and Canada.
Professional Development for International School Enrollment Professionals & Heads
As a head of school or an enrollment professional, you realize that there are a multitude of powerful forces shaping independent school enrollment. From net revenue concerns and fewer tuition capable students, to increasing financial aid requests and enrollment declines, our goal is to help you create a holistic approach to enrollment management built on the latest research and data.
EMA’s one-day Heads & Enrollment Professionals symposium could be a perfect solution for your school as we engage strategic staff in cities across the globe. Similarly, for schools with multiple campuses, our symposiums can be transformative for employees who may not interact with each other on a daily basis due to their locations spanning a city, a country or even around the globe.
For more information on joining one of these important events, review our Professional Development section or contact: JWilliamson@Enrollment.org
