Case Study: Savannah Country Day School streamlines admissions and saves hours with Blackbaud

The Savannah Country Day School partners with Blackbaud for a simplified enrollment process

The Savannah Country Day School is a K–12 independent school with a long history and a strong focus on experiential learning. Its admissions process had become cumbersome and paper-heavy—staff printed spreadsheets and assembled manila folders so committee members could only review files one at a time onsite—creating manual work, delays, and inefficiency.

By adopting Blackbaud Enrollment Management System with the Committee Review feature, Country Day moved to a centralized, digital workflow that lets committee members review files and share feedback from any device, and carries applicant data seamlessly into student records. The change saved staff hours, improved collaboration and family communication, reduced paper use, and supported broader schoolwide efficiencies across learning management, websites, and fundraising.
