Every School is Unique

The Dilemma of Uniqueness

To thrive in a highly competitive marketplace, the best solution is to rise above the competition and articulate what makes your school one of a kind. But what happens when other schools take the same approach and also position themselves as one of a kind.

The dilemma of uniqueness is summed up in this quote by Deacon Jones:

“You are one of a kind, one in a billion, an incredible unique individual. The problem is, so is everybody else.”

So, what to do? Your only choice is to understand what truly differentiates your school. Consider what would be missing in your community if your school didn’t exist. Then, proudly communicate the essence of your school and develop experiences that bring it to life every day. Celebrate your uniqueness.

That’s what we do. We help schools uncover what makes them one of a kind and leverage that insight to drive meaningful outcomes.

Recognizing that schools come in all shapes, sizes and colours, with varying expertise as well as disparate resources and budgets, we offer a number of service streams.
