Case Study: The Taft School achieves streamlined, paperless admissions and unified data management with Veracross

Experiencing the Veracross difference in admissions

The Taft School faced a fragmented, decades‑old admissions workflow built on a customized FileMaker database that made data inconsistent, archiving and year‑end rollover difficult, and cross‑department collaboration painful. After evaluating options, The Taft School chose Veracross to replace their legacy systems and unify admissions, communications, and student records.

Veracross implemented its school information system—particularly the Admissions module, admissions portal and Composer communication tools—allowing Taft to work 100% in Veracross with live, customizable data, improved SSAT integration, and paperless records. The result has been faster, more accurate workflows: streamlined interview scheduling and application tracking, consolidated communications via Composer, significantly reduced office staff work, daily time savings for admissions staff, and a much better parent/student experience. Veracross’s responsiveness and product evolution were cited as key to these gains.
