What E3n does

E3n is a nonprofit membership organization formed on March 1, 2026 through the legal merger of the Enrollment Management Association (EMA) and the Educational Records Bureau (ERB), carrying nearly 170 years of combined institutional heritage. It serves the North American independent K-12 school market (with explicit international-school pricing) through three membership tiers — Full Membership for Schools ($840 to $2,680 annually scaled by enrollment), Associate Membership for Schools, and separate Full/Associate tracks for Educational Consultants ($840 / $475) and Access Organizations.

The product portfolio is organized as an 'enrollment-to-outcomes' stack: admission assessments (ISEE and SSAT), a common application platform (Standard Application Online), a school-search marketplace (Admission.org), academic assessments (CTP and Milestones), social-emotional learning measures (SelfWise, Check-In Survey, Second Step, Character Skills Snapshot), writing tools (WrAP and Writing Practice), an AI-powered adaptive learning platform (Wild Zebra), and a member portal (MyE3n). Data products include the Head of School Report and custom data consultations, supported by an Annual Conference and a portfolio of professional development institutes (ATI, ADI, FLI, FAI).

Revenue mechanics blend recurring annual membership dues with transaction-based assessment fees (per-family ISEE/SSAT charges), event/professional development revenue, and lighter-touch professional services (workshops, custom data consults). Distribution is direct-to-institution across the U.S., Canada, and international schools, with self-service channels for families and consultants via enrollment.org and erblearn.org (legacy EMA and ERB domains currently maintained while integration is in progress). CEO Mike Flanagan leads a team that includes CRO Colleen Caulfield and a board chaired by Fran Bisselle (transitioning to Jim Hamilton in summer 2026).

Direct peers

• Renaissance Learning: Renaissance offers Star Assessments, Accelerated Reader, and other K-12 assessment and learning analytics tools commonly used in independent schools. It directly competes with E3n's achievement-assessment suite (CTP, Milestones) and shares the data-dashboard and growth-norming approach.
• NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association): NWEA provides MAP Growth and other K-12 assessment and analytics products widely used by independent and private schools. It is a direct competitor to E3n's CTP and Milestones academic assessments and shares the member-style distribution model and learning-growth analytics focus.
• Naviance by PowerSchool: Naviance provides college and career readiness, school counseling, and enrollment management software widely adopted by K-12 schools. It is directly comparable to E3n's enrollment management and student-tracking offerings (SAO, PROSPECT, Admission.org) and competes for the same independent school workflow budgets.
• Illuminate Education: Illuminate Education offers K-12 assessment, data analytics, and student-monitoring tools used by schools and districts. It is comparable as a K-12 assessment-and-analytics vendor and overlaps with E3n's CTP, Milestones, and well-being measurement suite.
• NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools): NAIS is the umbrella membership association for independent schools and historically housed the SSS Financial Aid service (led by E3n CEO Mike Flanagan). It is comparable to E3n as a mission-driven membership organization providing services, advocacy, and benchmarking to the same independent school customer base.

Broad incumbents

• ACT, Inc. ACT administers the ACT and ACT Aspire assessments and provides K-12 testing and reporting solutions. It is comparable as a nonprofit assessment organization with both admissions and achievement assessments, although its primary market is high-school and college testing rather than independent school admissions.
• College Board: College Board administers SAT, AP, and a broader suite of admissions and academic assessments used by K-12 schools and universities. Although its center of gravity is the college-admissions market, it is the closest analog to E3n as a mission-driven assessment organization with a K-12 testing footprint and connection to independent and private schools.
• ETS (Educational Testing Service): ETS develops and administers major standardized assessments (TOEFL, GRE, Praxis) and conducts K-12 education research. It is comparable to E3n as a long-standing, mission-driven standardized testing and education research organization with significant scale in assessment delivery.
