Social Media Management
School social media is all about connecting and creating community. It’s a vital communications tool, but planning and managing effective social media for your school is time-consuming.
It requires:
- Knowledge of social media best practices for school pages
- Ability to create targeted, engaging content
- Creation of high-quality, royalty-free graphics
- Frequent posts, shares, likes, tweets, re-tweets, and comments
- Experience with marketing and branding
You don’t have to manage social media on your own; School Webmasters can do it for you!

Instagram Extended Services
Instagram has a lot to offer besides just your typical posts. Stories, videos, and reels all help to extend your reach and promote your school. Many users don’t scroll through Instagram the way they used to. Instead, they use story highlights to view content from profiles they follow. To give your Instagram presence a boost, we recommend adding profile highlights to feature key content about your school, along with continued management of story posts.
Please note, for these extended Instagram services to be successful, the social media representative will count on communication and content collaboration with a school contact.
Extended management includes:
- Establish six highlight categories. Categories will feature custom graphic covers for six* subjects selected by the school from the following choices (other categories may be suggested and considered):
- About Us
- Our Schools
- Life at Leading Edge Academy
- Contact us
- Academics
- Registration or Enrollment
- Resources
- Testimonials
- FAQs
- Leading Edge Academy Pride
*more categories can be added at an additional cost
- To start, save 2-3 highlights to each category through Instagram Stories. Add monthly updates as needed.
- All Instagram posts will push to stories.
- Share 5-10 story posts a week. Content includes shared stories and posts from other relevant accounts, followers engagement posts with polls or quizzes, links to your website, etc.
