Increasing role at AVC
Increasing role somewhere without losing quality and integrity is very hard to do. With AVC we have both quality and integrity but we are just a little short on students. Once we get more students we will be able to generate more money, but once we get those students we have to have them stay and the only way is to have them get a good education.
As a school, I think that there should be changes so that we can increase the number of students while quality is still there. Once we get more students common sense will tell you that we need more teachers. Then the tuition has to be able to pay the salary of the teachers, while also paying the bills like utility and the requirements of the school. So saying this, as a school you have to be able to charge enough that we can pay the teachers and pay these bills but yet you have to have a price that is satisfying with the costumers.
Once you get all the numbers done you can start your business plan. You most likely have to raise the tuition to make the improvements on your school but you still have to make it reasonable for the customer. You have to be able to show that there kids will be getting a good Christian education. In our book Basic Economic Principles it goes over a subject that is called Consumer Sovereignty. This is when you sell a product that the costumer wants at the price they are willing to pay. I think this goes well in this because you obviously have what people want and they are willing to pay money you just have to find out how much money they want to spend on a good Christian education.
There is another subject that are book covers that deals good with this and it is Trade offs. It is crucial for AVC to not fall into this because we cant afford to. We cant trade off a better education for more people because in the long run it will hurt you. You want to be able to do both, have good numbers and have a staff that is great that will give a good education.
If you can find out this stuff, I believe that you are able to increase your students. Of course it will not be easy but I think over time you will see it slowly going up. The big thing is to not let your quality slip and I believe you will see a increase of students.
