You're not supposed to do this alone
Running IT for a private school means being help desk, security expert, strategic advisor, and vendor negotiator - often with zero backup. We can help.
We've heard your frustrations
In our conversations with IT directors at ISSL schools, the same themes keep coming up. You're responsible for everything from password resets to cybersecurity strategy. Your budget never matches expectations. Leadership doesn't always understand what you're protecting them from.
The worst part? When something goes wrong, you're the one who gets called at 2am. When something goes right, nobody notices. That's the job.
But it doesn't have to mean doing everything yourself. What you probably need isn't another vendor selling you something. It's someone who understands your situation and can help you think strategically - without adding to your workload.
How we help IT directors
Someone to bounce ideas off
Monthly office hours where you can talk through challenges with someone who's seen similar situations at other schools. Not a sales call - just problem-solving with an experienced tech leader.
Help translating tech to leadership
Need to explain why cybersecurity matters to a board that thinks you're being paranoid? We can help you build the business case in language that resonates with administrators who aren't technical.
Backup on vendor decisions
Evaluating a new SIS? Wondering if that AI tool is actually FERPA compliant? Get a second opinion from someone who doesn't have a commission on the line.
Emergency support when you need it
If something goes sideways - a security incident, a failed migration, a vendor meltdown - you don't have to figure it out alone. We're a phone call away.
What we're not
- • We're not trying to replace you. You know your school better than we ever will.
- • We're not an MSP. We don't want to manage your infrastructure or take over your help desk.
- • We're not vendors with products to push. Our only agenda is helping you succeed.
What it costs
Most IT directors work with us at the Advisory ($1-2K/month) or Operations Partner ($3-5K/month) level. It depends on how much support you need.
