About Ben Keeler
Independent school leaders are asked to make high‑stakes decisions — about enrollment, tuition, programs, and positioning — often without clear data or the internal capacity to get it.I work with Heads of School, Enrollment & Marketing leaders, and CFOs to reduce that risk through objective research, benchmarking, and decision‑ready insights — delivered in a way that respects school culture, politics, and limited bandwidth.Common engagements include:• Enrollment funnel & yield diagnostics• Market positioning and competitive analysis• Parent, student, and alumni perception research• Tuition & financial aid strategy support• Strategic planning and board‑level decision supportIndependent schools work with Hanover when they need third‑party objectivity, additional capacity, or evidence they can stand behind — without hiring multiple vendors or overwhelming internal teams.If you’re wrestling with a decision and want clearer evidence before acting, I’m always open to a conversation.
