The Pilot School

The Pilot School, located in Wilmington, DE, is dedicated to helping children ages 5-14 with language-based learning differences thrive through custom-designed, flexible curricula. While they’ve long been a leader in specialized education, they needed support in connecting with the families who could benefit most from their exceptional programs. That’s where we came in. Partnering with The Pilot School, we’ve worked to boost enrollment through digital marketing initiatives, including a website redesign, social media support, and search engine advertising—helping their message reach the right audience.

  • Search Engine Optimization

  • Print Design

The heart of this transformation was a complete website redesign that makes The Pilot School’s values and approach clear, engaging, and accessible. The new site connects with families by outlining who they serve (and who isn’t the right fit), showcasing inspiring alumni success stories, and giving a detailed look at their unique approach to academics and support services. One of the highlights is the “Day in the Life” timeline, offering parents an inside look at what their child’s day might include.

To strike the right balance between approachable and professional, we brought the site to life with colorful visuals, bold patterns, and subtle animations. We even added a playful 404 page where visitors can create their own doodles. Beyond the aesthetics, we enhanced functionality by integrating tools like the family portal, application system, and donation forms—making it easy for both current and prospective families to find everything they need.

This included a mix of SEO and targeted advertising across social media, search, and display networks. By honing in on specific audiences, ad groups, and learning differences related keywords, we successfully raised awareness and boosted leads. In addition to paid ads, we enhanced their organic social media efforts to further amplify their reach and engagement.
