Case Study: Woodland Star International School gains full admissions visibility with OpenApply

Woodland Star International School saves up to 10 hours a week with OpenApply

Woodland Star International School, a small but growing international school in Kenya, faced a significant challenge with its manual admissions process. Relying on a complex spreadsheet and scattered communications, the school lacked visibility into inquiries and risked missing potential students, which directly contradicted its ethos of ensuring every child is seen. To address this, they turned to the vendor OpenApply for its admissions management solution.

By implementing OpenApply, the school gained a centralized system for tracking all inquiries, applications, and communications. This provided full situational awareness for the entire team, from admissions to finance. The solution saved an estimated 10 hours per week for the admissions officer and several hours for other leaders. Most importantly, OpenApply ensured the school no longer missed inquiries, allowing them to fully live their mission while also providing valuable data on marketing efforts.
