Who We Are
Our mission is to help school leaders advance operational excellence so their schools, and the people within them, can flourish.
Our philosophy
When educational institutions combine their passionate and unyielding commitment to their core mission with a disciplined and mature culture and operating norms, they reach a harmony between form and substance—between how they work and what their work promises to provide.
This harmony is more than good for business. It is the essential balance that makes the workplace one where the dignity of the individual is honored and where relationships and culture can flourish. It is a kind of Arcadia. And it is what we help education institutions achieve.
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
Peter Drucker
Our Leadership
Arcadia’s leaders bring distinguished expertise in operational execution, academic leadership, organizational health, effective team building, executive coaching, growth management, financial planning, business development, educational market research and analytics, development, strategic planning and execution, and talent recruitment.
