Case Study: Avalon School of Cosmetology achieves 10% higher retention and doubled enrollment with Anthology's student information system

Avalon School of Cosmetology - Customer Case Study

Avalon School of Cosmetology, with four campuses across Arizona, California and Utah, faced fragmented manual processes, inconsistent systems, poor visibility into student progress, and growing regulatory reporting demands. To solve these challenges, Avalon implemented Anthology’s student information system and career services module to unify campus operations and centralize real-time student data.

Anthology delivered a configurable, clock-hour–capable SIS with automated attendance, daily gradebooks, a student pace evaluator, and career services tracking, enabling proactive interventions, streamlined financial aid and faster compliance reporting. As a result, Avalon doubled enrollment from about 500 to over 1,000 students in one year while reducing staff, increased retention by 10% across the four schools, improved graduate placement, and boosted tuition collection.
