The expo is a must-attend event for families considering schools. Miss it, and you’ll miss them. But it isn’t just about generating leads, although you’ll walk away with those as well. It’s your opportunity to connect in-person with families on a deeper level, foster existing relationships, and build new ones.
“The expo is valuable as we often see many expo attendees attend our open houses and submit applications.”
—Judy Maxwell, Director of Admissions, Bayview Glen

Families go through “extended problem solving” when researching prospective schools. They gather information online, in print, and in-person to gradually build their understanding—and confidence—in their final decision. The Expo is designed to work closely with the suite of Our Kids tools and resources available to families, enabling you to remain on their consideration lists uninterrupted throughout their entire school-choice journey.
“Many families looking for school choices tell us they use the Our Kids website, attend the School Expo and receive the Private School Guide in the mail. Our Kids has definitely helped guide prospective families to our website and to registering with us!” —Kim Abell, Founder, The Dalton School
