Case Study: Eastern Christian School - Preschool & Elementary School achieves 18% enrollment growth with Finalsite

How Eastern Christian School Focuses on Relationships to Boost Student Enrollment

Eastern Christian School is a three‑campus Christian school in New Jersey serving a diverse student body and committed to affordable, rigorous education. Facing a paper‑based admissions process that slowed communication and made it hard to track applicants, the school needed a more efficient way to move inquiries through to enrollment and grow its student body.

In March 2015 Eastern Christian implemented SchoolAdmin — introducing online applications and forms, relationship‑focused communications, and robust reporting and tracking — which streamlined workflows and freed staff to build personal connections with families. As a result the school increased enrollment 18% over five years (from 700 to 830 students) and gained clearer insight into the admissions cycle.
