MIKE VACHOW

Principal

I have served 5 independent schools for an aggregate 29 years, as a long-serving head, an interim head, division director, dean, summer session director and classroom teacher.  I have direct experience in capital fundraising, strategic planning, facility master planning, complex municipal and neighborhood relations, enrollment management, governance.  As a school leader and consultant, my successes arise from my attention to transparency and process, my strong communication skills, and my ability to listen carefully.  Depending on the scope and nature of the project, I often invite other private consultants to collaborate with me on projects.
