The Philadelphia School to Work With Connor Associates

Connor Associates is pleased to announce its work with The Philadelphia School (PA) on Enrollment Feasibility & 5-year Forecasting and Pricing Elasticity & Financial Modeling. In combining our market research with a financial analysis and benchmarking study, the critical balance of value and price becomes clear. From there, informed decisions and plans can be made to ensure the mission meets -- and influences -- the market.

The Philadelphia School’s progressive educational approach to learning and teaching has deep thinking, innovation, and agency as its guiding values. As an urban, preschool–8th grade school, TPS addresses specifically how young students develop intellectually, creatively, emotionally, socially, and physically. Since its founding in 1972, The Philadelphia School has grown in size, complexity, and diversity. This growth has been rooted firmly in the progressive educational approach that inspired our founders: immersive learning, responsive pedagogy, and meaningful engagement with the world.
