Case Study: Istanbul International Community School achieves a fully integrated, paperless school experience with OpenApply and Faria Education Group

Istanbul International Community School streamlines 500 students’ operations with OpenApply

Istanbul International Community School, a school of 500 students, sought to move away from paper-based processes and find a unified digital solution for its teaching, learning, and administrative needs. They initially turned to vendor OpenApply's parent company, Faria Education Group, for its ManageBac product to manage their IB programmes.

Faria implemented its suite of products, including OpenApply for admissions and SchoolsBuddy for activities and payments, creating a fully integrated solution. This allowed the school to achieve a paperless environment and a seamless digital journey for families from enquiry to enrolment. The Director of Education Technology reported an outstandingly smooth rollout, noting that the integrated solution eliminated the need for a separate Management Information System, resulting in significant cost savings and operational benefits for the school.
