Overcoming Common Misconceptions About Video for Independent Schools
Misconception 1: Video Production is Expensive
Video doesn’t have to drain your school's budget.
Student testimonials, campus walkthroughs, or day-in-the-life features can be powerful—and affordable—ways to tell your story.
Misconception 2: Video Production is Time-Consuming
Not every video needs to be a cinematic production.
With a focused plan and a clear message, schools can create high-impact videos that fit within tight academic calendars.
Misconception 3: Video Marketing Doesn’t Work for Schools
Video is one of the most engaging forms of communication today.
Whether it’s for enrollment, advancement, or alumni relations, visual storytelling builds trust and inspires action.
Misconception 4: Video is Only for Large, Well-Funded Schools
Video is more accessible than ever.
Independent schools of any size can use affordable tools to produce high-quality content that showcases their values, culture, and community.
