The education landscape is rapidly evolving, and schools may face new challenges in attracting and retaining students. With the rise of school choice programs like Iowa's Educational Savings Account (ESA) program, schools must now compete for students in a more dynamic and diverse marketplace. To stay competitive, schools must be ready to showcase their unique assets and strengths, and virtual tours can be a powerful tool to help them do just that.


Why Schools Should Be Ready

Schools that are ready to adapt to the changing education landscape will be best positioned to succeed in the long run. With the increase in school choice programs, families now have more options than ever before, and schools must be able to showcase their offerings in unique ways in order to attract and retain students.


How Virtual Tours Can Help Schools Stay Competitive

Virtual tours can be a powerful tool for schools to showcase their assets and strengths. By offering a virtual tour of their facilities embedded with media about curriculum, and other offerings, schools can give prospective families a sense of what it's like to be a part of their community. This can be especially important for families who may not be able to visit the school in person due to distance or other factors.


Virtual tours can also help schools stay competitive by demonstrating their commitment to innovation and technology. Schools that are able to offer a high-quality virtual tour experience are more likely to be seen as forward-thinking and adaptable, which can be a major selling point for families looking for a school that is able to meet their needs.

How Virtual Tours Can Increase Enrollment

Virtual tours can also help schools increase enrollment by reaching a wider audience of prospective families. By offering a virtual tour, schools can showcase their unique offerings to families who may not have otherwise considered them as an option. This can be especially important for schools that are located in rural areas or other areas where there may be limited educational options available.


Virtual tours can offer a more inclusive experience, allowing families to explore the school at their own pace and in their own time. This can be especially important for families who may have scheduling conflicts or who are unable to visit the school in person. By offering a virtual tour, schools can provide a more flexible and accessible experience for prospective families, ultimately leading to increased enrollment.


Conclusion

In today's rapidly evolving education landscape, schools must be ready to adapt and innovate in order to stay competitive and attract and retain students. Virtual tours can be a powerful tool to help schools showcase their unique assets and strengths, and reach a wider audience of prospective families. By embracing virtual tours and other online tools, schools can demonstrate their commitment to innovation and technology, offer a more inclusive experience to prospective families, and ultimately increase enrollment.
