Why Metro Consulting is Unique 

Metro serves Montessori schools and institutions at every stage — independent, nonprofit, for-profit, and public — that are navigating a leadership transition or seeking to strengthen their administrative foundation. Our primary client is the Montessori school or board facing the weight of a head of school search and looking for a trusted, experienced firm to manage the process from start to finish.


We also serve: emerging leaders seeking executive coaching, schools undertaking strategic planning, boards seeking governance training, and institutions building succession plans that will sustain their mission for years to come.

What We Offer

01

Head of School Search

Our signature service. We manage the full search process from drafting the opportunity statement  and sourcing candidates, to facilitating community input, vetting applicants, managing interviews, and supporting the board through final selection. Our process honors both the operational needs of your school and the Montessori values at its core.

02

Leadership Needs Assessment 

Are you scaling, restructuring, or unsure whether your current administrative model is working? We provide an objective, expert assessment of your organizational structure and leadership needs, so you can make informed decision making and your next hire is the right one.

03

Strategic Planning

We partner with your team to align mission, vision, and goals providing expert facilitation, data analysis, and a comprehensive final report that your entire community can use as a roadmap and communication.

04

Board Governance

Strong boards build strong schools. We provide tailored board governance support and training to help your governing body lead in an outcome-driven way with clarity, confidence, and accountability. While providing information about governance best practices is important, meaningful change occurs when boards have the opportunity to learn, engage in dialogue, assess current practices, identify areas for growth, and translate insights into actionable steps. Several tiers of consultant support are available, ranging from a single facilitated workshop to a more comprehensive partnership over the course of the year, including executive coaching between the HOS and Board Chair. 

05

Executive Coaching

Whether you are a new head of school finding your footing or an experienced leader navigating change, our coaches bring deep Montessori leadership experience to help you grow.

06

Succession Planning

The best time to plan for a leadership transition is before you need one. We help schools build the structures, pipelines, and documentation that protect institutional knowledge and ensure continuity.

07

Customized School Support

Change management. Leadership Needs assessment. Accreditation guidance. Professional development. We meet your school where it is. 
Metro Consulting Services offers customized pricing based on the scope, timeline, and specific needs of your school or institution.
