“It was incredibly useful to see, through MTM’s market research and insight, that we are facing a significant contraction in the market over the next 10 years in particular age ranges. To counteract this the team at MTM was able to direct us to specific underpenetrated areas where there is real potential for growth as well as the transport routes best able to help us access these areas.”
Tessa Howard-Vyse, Director of Admissions, Glenalmond College

Our study sizes catchment and demand, maps competitors and pricing, profiles family segments, and models enrollment opportunity by grade and ZIP. It translates market research for schools into a practical plan: where to recruit, which messages to lead with, and can be used to allocate budget confidently.
We integrate federal and state datasets, Census/ACS, local housing pipelines, and school-age population trends with your admissions history, feeder patterns, and event data. This blend provides both macro context and micro insight so decisions reflect real households, real drive times, and actual conversion behavior.
Most market analysis projects complete in around four weeks from kickoff, depending on data availability and the number of campuses we are working with. We conclude with a board-ready report, recommendations, and a working session to prioritize actions.
Yes. We align scope to your objectives, growth targeting, program feasibility, campus siting, or competitive repositioning. We set catchments, define rival sets, and weight metrics accordingly. Outputs are customized to your leadership questions, not a generic template of charts and tables.
You’ll see drive-time rings, heatmaps, and ZIP-level projections with rush-hour travel modeling. We highlight high-propensity pockets, under-served neighborhoods, and feeder patterns that consistently convert. This geographic clarity can guide event locations, ambassador routes, transportation conversations, and scholarship targeting.
You receive a visual, fully interactive report on Tableau which can be used to interrogate your report down to the granular details, an executive summary, prioritized recommendations, and a briefing session.
We use secure file transfer, limit access to essential personnel, and aggregate sensitive data in reporting. Usually we only need access to the zip codes of your pupils, we do not need names, addresses etc.
Yes. Post-project, as demographics or competitor behavior shift, we update projections and priorities so your plan stays current and leadership decisions remain evidence-based. We also have a team of Strategic Consultants who are happy to work with you on business strategy for the school and implementing the findings from your market research.
