How Zeta Schools Scaled Seamlessly With Fractional Support From Leverage Assistants

Overview

Zeta Schools, an innovative and fast-growing education group, first partnered with Leverage Assistants in July 2024 to enhance their operational efficiency during a period of rapid expansion. With new campuses opening and increasing administrative demands, Zeta Schools required reliable, flexible support that could adapt quickly to evolving needs.

Over a year later, the partnership has not only continued—it has expanded. What began with two assistants has now evolved into a multi-assistant support model, including newly appointed Mandarin-speaking specialists to support Zeta’s newest school.

Leverage Assistants’ fractional support structure has enabled Zeta Schools to scale smoothly, maintain productivity, and streamline communication workflows without the overhead of full-time hiring.

The Challenge

As Zeta Schools grew, so did the complexity of their daily operations:

  • Launching new school programs demanded greater administrative bandwidth.
  • Cross-campus coordination required high-quality communication, scheduling, and documentation support.
  • The newest school location introduced the need for Mandarin-speaking assistants to better support families and stakeholders.
  • Leadership needed dependable, long-term support without delays caused by traditional hiring cycles.

The internal team was stretched thin, and Zeta needed support that was smart, proactive, scalable, and specialized.

The Solution: A Tailored Multi-Assistant Model

Leverage Assistants deployed a custom support system that evolved with Zeta Schools’ needs:

1. Long-Term Embedded Executive Assistant Support

Beginning in July 2024, Zeta Schools onboarded two Leverage Assistants to support senior leaders with scheduling, communication, and project coordination. One of these assistants continues to support the team today, serving under Jennifer Duran, and has become an integral part of Zeta’s internal operations.

2. Smooth Transition During Offboarding

When one assistant completed their engagement in July 2025, Leverage Assistants ensured a seamless handover, maintaining operational continuity with no disruption to Zeta’s workflow.

3. Expansion Into Language-Specific Support

In 2025, Zeta Schools opened a new campus that required Mandarin-speaking administrative and translation support. Leverage Assistants responded immediately by sourcing, vetting, and onboarding:

  • An experienced bilingual Executive Assistant (onboarded December 2025)
  • A second Mandarin-speaking candidate, with onboarding underway

4. Fractional Flexibility With Full-Time Output

Zeta Schools benefited from:

  • A pipeline of vetted talent, eliminating staffing delays
  • Flexible monthly-hour support
  • Specialists matched to specific school needs
  • Rapid onboarding and role alignment

Leverage Assistants’ “pay for what you need” model gave Zeta Schools predictable costs and high-impact support without recruiting overhead.

Trusted Partnership

Zeta Schools’ decision to expand rather than replace Leverage services demonstrates the value they place on the relationship and the consistent quality received.

Conclusion

Zeta Schools’ long-term relationship with Leverage Assistants showcases the power of adaptive, fractional support in fast-growing environments. Whether managing day-to-day operations, navigating staffing transitions, or expanding into multilingual support, Leverage Assistants remains a dependable partner—ready to grow alongside the client.

For education groups and organizations scaling quickly, this model delivers immediate impact, long-term stability, and the freedom to stay focused on what matters most.
