Does your private school have an online application system? The ease of enrollment affects whether a parent will even bother to apply to a school. If the enrollment experience is pleasant, it creates a good first impression of the school. It shows that the school cares and has made the effort to create a pleasant experience. It also demonstrates that the school is at the cutting edge of technology and implies that this would also be evident in the classroom.
The K-12 Online student application, enrollment, and registration system allows students to submit their entire application, including essays and personal statements, online. This process saves paper and resources. Parents can even scan and upload pictures and documents that are part of their application. When they hit the submit button, their application is sent. No papers, no postage!
For independent and private schools, K-12 Online provides a way to save money. Private schools no longer need to send packets in the mail; everything is online. The schools create their own application online, which can include space for essays and personal statements. Once an application is completed, the admission board can review the entire application online. If a student has started an application but not finished it, private schools can call to inquire whether the application will be completed.
For completed applications, the system has the ability to customize emails or letters to be sent to the applicants. The accepted applicant data can then be uploaded to the student information system and become part of the school’s student database. It’s simple, efficient, and cost-effective, and it helps independent and private schools make a great first impression!
