Case Study: Belen Jesuit Preparatory School achieves 50% reduction in delinquency and streamlined tuition & enrollment with Blackbaud

Belen Jesuit delivers integrated tuition experience to save time for parents and staff

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, a 150+-year-old college-preparatory school serving grades 6–12, needed to modernize a cumbersome, paper-based tuition and enrollment process that created extra work for staff and frustration for families. Parents received coupon books and mailed checks, staff handled manual data imports and ledger entries, and the school faced high delinquency and inefficient accounting workflows.

By partnering with Blackbaud to integrate enrollment, tuition management, and fund accounting, Belen Jesuit moved to automatic online payments, a single annual contract for families, and direct posting to the general ledger. The result: nearly all paper checks eliminated, a 50% reduction in delinquent accounts, streamlined one-step processes that save staff time, 24-hour third-party follow-up on debts, and a smoother, more secure experience for parents.
