About this title

Synopsis

Independent schools are in peril: enrollment is down, tuition is up, and a constellation of challenges threaten. At the same time, dramatic societal changes and disruptive technologies provide our schools with an extraordinary opportunity to be leaders at the forefront of the paradigm shift. Engage! sets the course for independent schools intrepid enough to depart from the known world and explore the new with student-centered pedagogy, distinctive programs, and research-based innovation that prepare our students for the 21st century.
