Attracting Students Who Will
Benefit Most From Your
Charter School’s Mission

The news media and social media platforms are powerful tools that can help families know what to expect from enrollment in a charter school.
By promoting your charter school’s mission and uniqueness through these venues, we can attract students who will thrive in your learning community.
Taking the time needed to accurately showcase the school’s mission in action through the press and social media will reduce student turnover and underscore the school’s reputation through the communities it serves.



Every day, countless traditional, public, and charter schools make headlines — but how many truly capture what makes them extraordinary?
The percentage is less than 10 percent!
Capturing news coverage for the sake of capturing news coverage is a waste of time and money.
To attract students who will benefit most from your charter school’s environment, each broadcast news event, newspaper article, photo caption, etc. must demonstrate your mission in action.
Sylvia Marketing & Public Relations’ approach combines professional expertise with powerful storytelling to position your charter school as a trusted educational leader.
