But the heart of Moonshot Lab is more than just professional development (PD); it's the people.

Expert Lab Sessions
Imagine sitting down with an expert in your field, not just to listen but to engage, question, and get into the essential details on topics that matter to you.
It's interactive, insightful, and like having a personal coaching session with someone who's been there and done that.
And here's the kicker: these sessions come with your membership. No extra fees, no hidden costs.
Expert Lab Session #1:
A Deep Dive into Tuition Reset Strategy
Kevin Folan
Head of School
Providence Country Day School
Kevin Folan, who you might remember from my case study about Providence Country Day School (PCD), is leading our first lab session on March 19 at 2 pm EST.
He's the head of school who reset PCD's tuition and nearly doubled enrollment in four years by making the school accessible to thousands more families. It was a bold move, and it paid off.
Kevin will share the nitty-gritty of making decisions like these—what it takes to balance lower fees with higher value. But more importantly, he'll take your questions and offer expert guidance.
