Building the future of Christian education, together.

Blueprint Schools is a team of consultants who partner with Christian schools across the country. Our passion is helping schools address today’s challenges and lay the groundwork for tomorrow’s opportunities.

Every school team has two critical jobs: 

 

CRITICAL JOB 1: Provide Christian education.

This is what takes up a majority of time for most school teams: teaching, assessing, planning, supporting, counseling, coaching, disciplining, discipling, and leading educational and extracurricular activities for students and their families. 

CRITICAL JOB 2: Build the future of their school’s ministry.

This work falls under the title of “organizational development” and includes work like strategic planning, team development, financial planning, and marketing. It is essential for the FUTURE of a school’s ministry.

The Struggle of Balancing Today & Tomorrow

Faith-based schools juggle the challenge of delivering quality Christian education today while building sustainable ministries for tomorrow.

Between teaching, discipling, and supporting students, the essential work of organizational development—such as strategic planning, marketing, and team development—often gets buried under the day-to-day urgencies. This creates a shaky, and sometimes unsustainable, future–or simply doesn’t allow a school to take advantage of all the existing opportunities to advance their mission with families.

How Blueprint Schools Helps Ministry Teams

Blueprint Schools consultants love partnering with schools to help build their ministries. We specialize in three key areas:

SUSTAINABLE Organizations

Sustainable organizations are the foundation of thriving schools. We help ministries build from the ground up, moving from reactive to proactive and from surviving to thriving through the 7+1 components of organizational development: mission/vision/values, community research, program differentiation, financial modeling, marketing, strategic planning, team development, and bridge building between church and school. Our goal is to construct systems that ensure long-term sustainability for the ministry’s mission. 

STRATEGIC Marketing & Outreach

Reaching and connecting with your community is essential for the future of your ministry’s mission—to share the love of God with students and their families. Blueprint Schools engineers strategic marketing and outreach plans to boost visibility, foster engagement, and increase enrollment. From brand development to website development, we provide data-driven strategies that build the structure for effective communication, consistent outreach, and lasting relationships with your internal and external communities.

SUPPORTIVE Professional Growth

Teaching is a dynamic, yet demanding endeavor. Blueprint Schools is committed to providing research-backed support for educators. Our services focus on equipping teachers with the latest instructional strategies and best practices to meet the diverse needs of today’s students. Through both online courses and one-on-one consulting, we provide ongoing support and professional development to help educators construct an environment where they feel confident, supported, and empowered to deliver exceptional education.

We love partnering with schools!

Blueprint Schools is one of the most game-changing entities I have encountered when it comes to transforming and improving 21st century parochial schools. The ChatGPT for Teachers course not only teaches about various AI tools, but also how to use them effectively. This course has completely changed my opinion of AI usage in schools, and increased my efficiency as an educator. Education is always changing, and the Blueprint team is not only equipped to assist schools in finding a path forward, but also navigating the paths they help discover.”
