Mergers and Acquisitions in Independent Schools

NYSAIS has partnered with our neighbors at the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools (NJAIS) to offer this asynchronous course for school leaders and trustees.

Mergers and Acquisitions in Independent Schools is an asynchronous course aimed at independent school trustees and school leaders, designed to form a foundational understanding of school consolidation. From key terms and the delineation of the role of governance in this type of transaction to consideration of merged cultures and markers of successful mergers in the nonprofit sector, this professional learning offering—authored by a Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor®—serves as a level-set for schools interested in or considering a merger opportunity.

Embedded knowledge checks allow for verification of understanding the principles involved when considering this strategic avenue. Emerge more confident in your comprehension of what is involved, including the structural considerations for your board to weigh and a command of the foundational vocabulary to help you discuss mergers in the boardroom and beyond.

Time to Complete: Up to 2 hours

Delivery Mode: Asynchronous, self-paced (start and return at any time)

Expiration: None

Cost: $175 per person

NYSAIS and NJAIS are delighted to partner in bringing this course to you. Developed by NJAIS, it is state-neutral in its approach, underscoring the foundational understandings of mergers and acquisitions. As with any corporate action, schools that wish to consider consolidation are advised to consult legal counsel, as well as any other advisors or counsel who will support the board in the exercise of its fiduciary duties.
