What Scott Goldberg Consulting Llc does

Scott Goldberg Consulting, LLC is a Passaic, New Jersey-based boutique professional services firm founded and led by Dr. Scott Goldberg that provides consulting, executive coaching, leadership search, strategic planning, and educational excellence services to Jewish day schools and yeshivas across North America. The firm is organized around four practice areas: Leaders (executive coaching, team dynamics, conflict resolution, board training, 360-degree evaluations), Search (head of school and principal placement plus leadership transition support), Strategy (strategic planning, organizational review, financial analysis, and strategic project staffing), and Educational Excellence (customized professional development, teaching-and-learning advancement, and Hebrew literacy programs). It claims more than two decades of service to over 200 clients in the Jewish day school ecosystem and sustains an active pipeline of named executive searches at institutions such as Jewish Educational Center, Kulanu Academy, Yeshivat Noam, and Walder Institute.

The firm's notable proprietary products are domain-specialized for Jewish education: the MaDYK (Measures of Hebrew Literacy) assessment, which has been used in the field for approximately 15 years to screen K through 3rd-grade Hebrew literacy, and a newly developed Hebrew Reading Curriculum applying the science of reading to second-language Hebrew instruction, which has completed two years of pilot implementation. The team comprises roughly 10 core practitioners supplemented by project-specific experts, including a former head of school and national-network executive (Dr. Jon Mitzmacher, Senior Director), a CPA with nonprofit education leadership experience (Judah Rosenbaum), certified literacy specialists, speech-language pathologists, and an associate who manages the search practice. Several team members hold adjunct faculty positions at Yeshiva University's Azrieli Graduate School, Stern College, and American Jewish University, anchoring the firm's reputation within the Jewish educational establishment.

SGC's business model is project-based professional services revenue, with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed, multi-year contracts possible, and a go-to-market that is primarily relationship-driven through referrals across the Prizmah and Schechter networks, alumni ties, and word-of-mouth within a tightly networked Jewish education community. Distribution is regional (U.S.-anchored) with a worldwide claim supported by team members' international experience. The company is privately held, LLC-structured, founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, private equity backing, or M&A activity.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bellwether Education Partners: A national education-focused consulting and policy organization advising schools, districts, and nonprofits on strategy, talent, and operations. Comparable to SGC's Strategy and Leaders practices at a much larger scale, but oriented toward K-12 public and charter segments.
• Education Resource Strategies (ERS): A nonprofit consulting organization helping school systems redesign resources for student success. Comparable to SGC's Strategy, Organizational Review, and Financial Analysis services, though primarily serving public/charter systems rather than independent schools.
• Witt/Kieffer: A large executive search firm with a dedicated Education practice that recruits heads of school, superintendents, and senior education leaders. Comparable to SGC's search practice but at far greater scale and across secular and faith-based schools.
• Hanover Research: A research and consulting firm providing strategic insight, benchmarking, and analytics to education and nonprofit clients. Comparable in providing analytical and strategic-planning support to school and nonprofit leaders, with broader scope and a subscription model.
• Isaacson, Miller: A national executive search firm with a strong education and nonprofit practice that places senior leaders at independent and faith-based schools, including Jewish day schools. Comparable on the search and leadership advisory side, though serving a much broader mission-driven market.

Direct peers

• The Jewish Education Project: A Jewish educational nonprofit offering consulting, professional development, and content for day schools and congregational schools. Overlaps with SGC in leadership development, curriculum, and educator support within the same target market.
• Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools: The central network and field-building organization for Jewish day schools. While not a for-profit consulting firm, Prizmah provides strategic, leadership, and innovation support to many of the same schools SGC serves, and is a key ecosystem partner and informal competitor for advisory work.

Others

• The iCenter: A Jewish educational organization focused on Israel and world Jewry content and professional development. Adjacent to SGC's Educational Excellence practice, providing curriculum and educator support to Jewish day schools in a related but distinct content area.
• Schechter Day School Network: A network supporting Solomon Schechter day schools across North America. Less a commercial peer than an ecosystem partner and former employer of SGC's Senior Director; provides field services and convening that overlap with SGC's leadership and strategy work.

Emerging players

• Whiteboard Advisors: A strategy and communications advisory firm serving education and youth-serving organizations. Comparable to SGC's Strategy practice for independent and faith-based schools and education nonprofits, with a tighter focus on communications and policy.
