The National Postsecondary Strategy Institute (NPSI) helps school districts develop their internal capacity to support every student toward attaining a successful postsecondary pathway.
Our holistic approach is based on the integration of three critical components:
- A district postsecondary framework & strategy
- A data strategy
- Engagement of counselors as leaders
NPSI is a mission-driven organization. We believe ALL students should be prepared for postsecondary success, whether it be completing a two-year or four-year college degree, a professional credential, or another pathway.
