About Institutional Research - Center for Institutional Research of Independent Schools

Though well-established in higher education, institutional research is a relatively new field in independent schools. One of the most common questions we hear at CIRIS is, "What exactly is institutional research and how do schools do it?" There are many successful models of institutional research in the independent school community, and here we are excited to share the answers to this core question.

"CIRIS has been a beacon for me as I've undertaken more work in data analysis at my school. I've initiated new institutional research projects and believe these will serve our school in the long run. Thank you for your great work."CIRIS Participant
