Bixby School in Boulder, CO Taps Connor Associates for Strategic Research

President Mike Connor is pleased to announce that Bixby School has engaged Connor Associates to gather actionable input from its key constituencies to become apprised of past, present, and prospective families’ evolving social, educational, and economic concerns. When a school proactively self-assesses using a neutral third party, it has an opportunity to better understand its perceived value in the eyes of those it serves and seeks to serve. These studies also reveal the School’s positioning in the community, programmatic priorities, and their corresponding alignment with mission, marketing, and key messaging.

Bixby School considered several outstanding consultants, and ultimately chose Connor Associates for several reasons - their extensive experience and expertise working with independent schools, their data-based approach to providing actionable information about our school. We anticipate the work they are doing to directly inform all critical aspects of our school as we look ahead to the next 50 years.
— Nina Lopez, Head of School at Bixby School (CO)
