PEJE offers a growing suite of cutting edge Day School Peer Yardstick™ tools designed to drive your school's performance. The Yardstick Suite of Tools, developed by PEJE and Sacha Litman of Measuring Success, is a management tool designed to help day schools focus on the key organizational activities associated with larger and faster growing day schools.
The Yardstick Model is a proven method of benchmarking progress that allows your school to make data-driven decisions, from the boardroom to the admissions office. The model is based on benchmarking methodology commonly used to improve performance in the private sector and has been developed specifically for day schools.
