What Global
Educational Consulting Means for Schools

Global educational consulting means institutional strategic planning to adapt to the rapidly evolving landscape impacting independent schools. As America’s oldest and foremost educational consultancy, McMillan Education provides educators and institutions worldwide with expert guidance on enrollment strategy, program and curriculum development, college and university counseling program development, and senior leadership and faculty training.

Delivered through workshops, on-site and virtual sessions, webinars, and trainings across all levels of school stakeholders. McMillan Education’s institutional consulting is backed by a history dating to 1955 and experience with students from over 65 countries.
