The fall months are a hectic time for schools, but when admissions offices are at their busiest, some schools are finding a new way to manage the rush: going live with their new admissions and enrollment software.

With each launch, schools like Thaden School, Moore Norman Technology Center, The Canadian International School of Bangalore, and many more are creating experiences designed to engage prospective families through the entire enrollment process with clarity and ease.

And it’s not just families who are benefiting—these admissions and enrollment management systems simplify administrative workflows, making it easier for teams to stay organized, respond quickly to inquiries, nurture leads, and support their goals.

From mobile-friendly designs and embedded forms to personalized inquiry options, each school is creating an admissions journey that enhances accessibility and convenience. Let’s take a look at some of the admissions experiences of schools that just went live with Finalsite Enrollment!

Francis Parker School

Francis Parker School warmly invites families to "start their journey" and join the Parker family. The admissions page is well-structured and mobile-friendly, with a clear navigational menu that guides users through their process and offers information for each school level—lower, middle, and upper—as well as details on tuition and affordability.

The admissions page includes an introduction to the admissions team, which helps put a name to a face, personalizes the experience, and, ultimately, builds trust. There are links to explore more about life at Parker—a thoughtful addition that gives prospective families a closer look at what’s happening on campus.

The inquiry form is thorough, collecting key details about the student's background, current school, primary language spoken at home, and how the family heard about Francis Parker, all of which allow the admissions team to understand and connect with each family on a personal level.

The admissions experience is well-aligned with the rest of Francis Parker’s site through a consistent and user-friendly design that helps families navigate the process with confidence. Well done!

All Saints' Episcopal Day School
