AI Catalyst Training Program
Practical AI Training for Admissions & Marketing Teams
Learn how to apply AI—clearly, responsibly, and effectively.
Most private schools know AI is changing admissions and marketing.
Very few know how to actually use it well.
The AI Catalyst Training Program, led by Dr. Rick Newberry, is a hands-on, practical training designed specifically for private schools. This program helps admissions and marketing teams confidently use ChatGPT and Custom GPTs to support enrollment growth, retention, and communication—without adding staff or complexity.
This is not theory. This is applied training built from real work with real schools.
