Private schools face tough sell when pursuing potential students

Private schools used to be able to sit back and wait for students to walk through the doors but now they must actively pursue new students and find creative ways to keep existing students, said Mr. Britton, director of admissions for Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls. Hathaway Brown in Shaker Heights is touting its ability to teach students to make a difference in the world and handle a rigorous curriculum, while also having fun and making friends, said Terry Dubow, director of communications and marketing for Hathaway Brown.
