The Premise
Affordability is now part of enrollment strategy. Visibility is now bigger than Google. And tax-credit readiness matters again.
For families,
affordability shapes enrollment decisions.
For donors,
clarity creates action.
For schools,
a strong STO partner can reduce confusion, increase confidence, and protect growth.
For IBE SGS schools,
the Action Page and live chat support create a simpler path from questions to answers.
The Path

Schools attend the IBE Growth Summit, learn the Awareness-to-Action framework, receive their School Digital Footprint Score Card, and activate their School Growth System through Action Pages and custom campaign tools.

ESA Uncertainty & STO Readiness Plan
Leave with clearer language for families, stronger tax-credit talking points, better referral boundaries, and a practical plan for helping current and prospective families understand their affordability options.
IBE Live Chat Action Page Pathway
Learn how your school-specific Action Page and IBE's live chat support can help families get qualified tax-credit guidance without requiring your school staff to answer every complex question.
Why Attend Now
ESA uncertainty has changed the conversation.
Schools cannot wait until families are confused, donors are disengaged, or enrollment is at risk. The IBE School Growth Summit gives schools a practical plan for communicating affordability, strengthening tax-credit participation, improving school visibility, and connecting families directly to IBE support.
