Kind Words from Clients

After our initial work together has concluded, 100% of clients have returned to work with me again on a new project.

In follow up surveys, 100% of clients responded that “working with Beth advanced [their school]” a five on a five-point scale.

I would highly recommend Beth Suitor. She is a former head of school, a former board member of our state's association, and has been a consultant for several years. Our school is at a pivotal point of growth that has brought some financial, cultural, and identity considerations. Beth is nothing short of exemplary. She built trust with the team, helped illuminate the changes we needed to consider, and skillfully created a plan to help us navigate our next steps.

— Nancy Canning, Head of School, Montessori Academy of Colorado

Beth brings a wealth of wisdom and experience to her work with schools and school leaders. Unlike other consultants who use a one-size-fits-all approach, Beth truly takes the time to get to know a school, learn its culture, and understand its strengths and challenges. She customizes her work to your school's unique situation and, as a result, supports school leaders in advancing their school in meaningful, impactful, and sustainable ways. I highly recommend Beth and would jump at the opportunity to work with her again!

— Katie Christensen, Interim Head of School, Mackintosh Academy Boulder

Beth Suitor played a pivotal role in guiding our school through a transformative strategic planning process. Her collaborative approach made her a pleasure to work with, and her insightful, outside perspective truly elevated our vision. Beth's unwavering commitment and dedication, coupled with her trustworthiness and inclusive nature, ensured that every voice was heard, resulting in a strategic plan that resonates deeply with our diverse community.

— Sara Yelpaala, Chair of the Board of Trustees, St. Elizabeth's School

Beth was the most amazing boss imaginable. She made every person feel valued and appreciated. She was always at carpool, greeting students and families. She was in and out of classrooms every day, jumping in when needed. Every student knew her by name (and she knew them) and always wanted her to sit and work with them.

— Krista Gjellum, former teacher at Montessori School of Evergreen and current LETRS Professional Learning

Beth is an outstanding school leader and strategic thinker. I first met Beth as she successfully led her school through a rigorous accreditation process. It was a fantastic school, where she was clearly extremely well loved and respected as the head of school. Since that visit many years ago, Beth continued to lead that school, and another in Boulder, before moving into strategic consulting work. She uses this deep, practical experience in her work supporting current school leaders. In my 13th years as a school head, I continue to tap Beth for her wisdom and expertise in independent school leadership. She asks excellent questions that help get us to the heart of the matter, and works collaboratively to support our strategic growth as an organization. I can’t recommend her highly enough - any school will be lucky to have her supporting them to get to the next level.

— Steve de Beer, Head of School, Westside School, Seattle, WA

Ms. Suitor has a true passion for Independent School education and embraces both the opportunities and challenges of this field. I have had the opportunity to work alongside Ms. Suitor as she collaborates with department Directors to realize the school’s vision, and ensure accountability for the completion of strategic projects. Her background encompasses experience in all areas of school leadership, including Head of School, admissions and enrollment, development and stewardship, communications and marketing, and recruitment and selection of teachers. Ms. Suitor provided mentorship to me in the Associate Head of School role, and supported my expansion of innovative student programs based on best educational practices, infused with the school’s own unique pedagogy. Ms. Suitor works from a place of integrity and holds herself to the highest of professional standards. I value her unwavering commitment to excellence and feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her.
