WHO WE ARE

Our mission is to help entrepreneurial leaders provide students with a genuinely excellent education that leads to human flourishing.

Our Philosophy

When education 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.

Our Leadership

Arcadia’s leaders bring to their work distinguished expertise in academic leadership, organizational health, business development, effective team building, educational research and analytics, growth management, fundraising, strategic planning and execution, executive coaching, and operational execution.
