Case Study: Istanbul International Community School streamlines admissions and school operations with OpenApply and Faria Education Group

Istanbul International Community School - Customer Case Study

Istanbul International Community School (IICS), a medium-sized school in Istanbul, Turkey, wanted to streamline key parts of school operations and reduce paper-based processes. Working with OpenApply and Faria Education Group’s broader platform, the school sought a more integrated approach to admissions, learning, and activities management without needing a separate, wide-ranging MIS.

OpenApply helped IICS digitize admissions and move toward a full paperless user journey from enquiry to enrolment, while integrating with ManageBac and SchoolsBuddy to connect demographic and attendance data across systems. The result was a smooth rollout, improved efficiency, and cost savings by replacing disparate tools with an integrated solution; the school also reported that Faria’s support was outstanding throughout implementation.
