Abstract: This cross-sectional study employed a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively investigate the impact of COVID-19 on private secondary schools. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies were integrated, enhancing the depth of understanding. The sample consisted of 92 participants, including school directors, head-teachers, deputy head teachers, and classroom teachers, were purposively and randomly selected. The study revealed shifts in enrollment patterns and attendance trends due to remote and hybrid learning models. Academic performance variations underscored the challenges of adapting to new teaching methodologies. Financial implications arising from altered revenue streams and increased operational costs, Teacher roles evolved, necessitating tailored support. Infrastructure limitations hindered remote learning effectiveness. Student well-being emerged as a poignant concern, and parental involvement dynamics shifted. Findings offer actionable insights for schools and policymakers, contributing to the discourse on educational resilience during global crises. The blended methodology provides a holistic understanding of COVID-19’s intricate influence on private secondary schools. By furnishing evidence-based strategies, this research aids decision-making to navigate unprecedented disruptions.
