New School
OpenApply helps new schools connect with prospective parents through online enquiry forms and Open House scheduling. Bulk messaging functions and robust filtering and tagging make it easy to keep new families interested and involved as you open your school.
Information Management
New schools need an easy way to schedule recruitment events and collect information for prospective families. OpenApply’s online event scheduling and customisable forms makes this process smooth for both parents and admissions alike.
Robust filtering, searching, and tagging helps you manage student information once the application process is complete. Granular permissions allow staff members to access the OpenApply database with all your students’ information at any time, while making sure the right people are accessing the right information.
Analytics Tracking
OpenApply provides both automated and customised solutions to organise and track all the analytics most important for a new school. Easily analyse conversion rates to discover if you’re targeting the right applicants, and customise your recruitment sources to find out where to focus your efforts to attract the families you’re looking for.
With all your data collected online, you can target your forms to collect the exact data you need in the format you need it. As your school grows you can look back at previous academic years to see year over year trends and continue improving your admissions process.
Quick & Easy Implementation
When opening a new school you’ll want to start recruiting early. OpenApply can be set up in as little as two days with the helpful guidance of our support team, available 24 hours Monday – Friday. Complimentary form building and imports means all you need to do is provide us with your information, and an account can be set up for you in no time.
Once you’ve started with the account, our support team will still be standing by to answer your questions. We are also happy to provide complimentary online trainings as your process evolves and your school goes from pre-opening to post-opening and beyond!
