Independent School Websites and Enrollment Management

Choate Rosemary Hall
A New England boarding and day school tucked in the scenic town of Wallingford, CT.
The use of animation on Choate's website is superb, juicing up the design with an electric current of moving, sliding and transitioning parts. The homepage hooks prospective families panel by panel, highlighting the value of boarding, eight signature programs and the trifecta of Arts, Athletics and Academics.
Cor Jesu Academy

Cor Jesu Academy's custom design appeals to parents and teenage girls alike — a difficult feat, for sure! Animated graphics and bold colors bring the school's beaming catholic community to life online. Plus, the school leverages Blackbaud's data integration with Finalsite to get the best of both worlds: great design and powerful data!
Chicago City Day School
An independent elementary school for students in JK through Grade 8.
Chicago City Day School's website uses line illustration and bold colors to showcase student life online, while the site's content and navigation offer a well-thought-out user experience. We especially love the interactive, video-based faculty directory!
Greater Atlanta Christian School
A PK-12 Christian school in Norcross, Georgia serving 1,600+ students.

St. John Vianney High School
An all-boys, Catholic, private school in St. Louis, MO for grades 9-12.
With a strong Marianist heritage, Vianney offers a compelling value promise to prospective families that shines throughout their custom website. Simply scroll through the homepage and you'll be captivated by the bold messaging, bright photography and sleek black and gold design elements. School branding on point!
Stuart Country Day School
A leading PreK to grade 12 private school for girls in Princeton, NJ.
Between the exceptional portrait photography and the brand message at large, Stuart's homepage stands out in the compact and competitive private school market of Princeton, New Jersey. The design mixes feminine flare with a rich and bold green, projecting strength and clarity. After all, it’s not just the girls who are unstoppable here — it’s Stuart too.
