Empowering School Leaders for Lasting Success.

At Washington Partners, we understand that schools are complex ecosystems, and leaders often face significant challenges in adapting to change.

We believe that the right leadership, supported by the right processes, tools and frameworks, can overcome these obstacles and set a school on the path to transformational success.

“Tony and his team were instrumental in getting us as a board focused and organized around a process and helped instill a sense of urgency in our work. They gave us extremely helpful and practical advice on how to manage our board's evolving relationship with our head of school and other administrators.

In addition, they organized our board into working groups of trustees and tasked each group with studying different issues and then helped us develop a road map for turning each group's analysis into actionable recommendations for our full board.”

Jon Brayshaw, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors, Calhoun

“In our time working with Tony, we found clarity in our mission and values as a school. He helped the school leaders refine the mission and vision, and then helped create a plan to build alignment within the institution”

Seth Low, Associate Head of School, The Frederick Gunn School
