Case Study: American Community School of Amman streamlines international admissions and boosts efficiency with PowerSchool Registration (PowerSchool)

Innovative Solutions from PowerSchool Registration Supports American Community School’s International Presence

The American Community School (ACS) of Amman, Jordan — an international Pre‑K–12 school with about 520 students from 40+ nationalities — struggled with an antiquated, paper-based admissions process. Manual forms caused duplicate data entry for siblings, lost or misplaced files as applications moved between departments, hard-to-read handwriting, and heavy administrative burden on a one‑person admissions office, making it especially difficult for international families.

ACS implemented a customized PowerSchool Registration solution integrated with its student information system and teacher recommendations, adding features like sibling data “snapping,” batch email communications, a health-data filter, and payment tracking. The online system enabled anywhere/anydevice access, eliminated lost paperwork and repetitive entry, sped application processing, improved internal communication across departments, and reinforced the school’s technology-forward image for prospective families.
