How to increase Student’s Admissions in School?

Large endowment? Convenient location? Great facilities? Perfect college acceptance rates? Star teachers? Sure, all these things are very important. Whether you are an independent school, charter school, faith-based parochial, public or any other type of school, you know this.

However, some schools have only some (or even none) of those things and have seen an upsurge in enrollment. They aren’t just surviving they’re doing even better than before. How is this possible?

Essentially, these schools have adjusted their strategies. They’ve invested in enrollment campaigns. Successful schools are investing between 2.5% and 10% of their annual budget in enrollment marketing, and it’s paying off big time.

Steps to boost the Admissions of Students in School:

1. Branding & Marketing

It is very important to understand how a school is perceived by its students, parents and the society. Having the right branding strategy can create a paramount difference to any school. When your target audience knows exactly what your school stands for, and feels that your mission aligns with their own values, it enables the building of trust and loyalty. With so many educational institutions mushrooming year by year, your branding and marketing strategy is the chance to create a differentiation factor. Once the brand of the school starts getting recognition, parents would want to enroll their children there. And when it comes to marketing, social media has definitely become a promising channel to broadcast and engage.

2. Website

Having a well-designed school website is crucial, given today’s scenario. It is a key factor in creating a first impression. Moreover, parents often tend rely on websites to seek information regarding school amenities, admissions, curriculum, etc since it is the easiest and convenient method. It is also an effective platform for the school to showcase its achievements, prominent alumni and their success stories.

An impactful school website should be engaging, mobile friendly with reduced loading times, easy to navigate and has all the relevant information including brochures, academic calendar and other downloadable content.

Creating a safe, secure & student friendly campus. With large number of schools adopting automated attendance and access control systems that are based on RFID/biometric, educational institutions are striving to provide a secure and safe environment for their students. With the increasing crime rate against children, parents consider the security of their ward as a vital factor when considering a school.

3. Simplified and streamlined admission process

Last but not the least, an educational institution should employ the right software to simplify, automate and streamline the entire cumbersome process of admissions. To increase enrolment, it is also key that the school accepts online applications. This can prove to be a highly convenient and hassle free for parents of prospective students, settled abroad. Moreover, an efficient school management system has in built mechanisms like alert systems to let the parents know about the cut off dates and deadlines, merit lists, interview dates etc. These alerts can be configured to reach them through SMS or emails. From the point of view of a school, it eliminates unnecessary manual work and helps save cost, time and effort.

4. Alumni connect & Student-Parent Testimonials

Building an engaging and supportive alumni network as well as maintaining excellent relationships with them is important for the success of any educational institution. An alumnus(ae) automatically become the brand ambassador for their alma mater. Sharing success stories of past students, conducting regular reunions, having testimonials from students and parents are all compelling ways to attract prospective students.

5. Tell your school’s story online

Telling stories about your school on your website and on Facebook is your main online strategy. While you can get overwhelmed with the plethora of social media sites online, your effort should focus on Facebook. By posting at least one story a day, you provide a window into your school. Just think, you never know who is browsing your school’s Facebook page and thus making a decision about whether or not to take the next step based on what they read and see. This is what has worked in these schools that experienced an enrollment turnaround.

Parents often look for faculty and facilities while taking admissions

Looking out for various sources to check the professionalism of the faculty of the school you wish to get your child admitted to. Well qualified teachers, skilled support staff or even the well-trained concierge desk. A school runs successfully only by the people in it. It is always cordial, transparent and healthy coordination between the school management committee and the parents that constitute a reputation of any prestigious school.

While the above-mentioned factors are certainly important, at the same time it also mandatory for parents to ensure your daughter or son gets the best possible education not only by visiting schools, collecting information but also by actively staying involved in your child's day-to-day activity at home as well as in the community.

5 Tips for Parents to take Admissions in a Right School

School is one place where memories are made. A school plays an important role in any child’s life as they treasure so many experiences with them to share it with their upcoming generations. So choosing a school is as important as choosing the right ingredient for a signature dish. One small mistake can prove a mishap. So careful observation and inspection are necessary while considering a school for their child. Let us make your life easy. Here is a checklist to let know about all those necessary detailing you would have to be particular about. Thinking about these will help you come out successfully out of the admission labyrinth.

There is a category of some newly admitted kids who wear a lost expression, craving for some known face. Being grumpy about their parents for changing their school; these kids often find themselves in a very mazy junction of 10 or odd crossroads. Changing the school or admitting your kid to a school for the first time or relocating your place from one city to another. All these situations will land up parents in such a situation which makes them think of all those important points which they might have to consider before admitting to a particular school.

These are the reasons that makes a School Successful:

1. The Proximity

Imagine you have a school in your mind. No matter how good it is, how glorious are its alumni. It is as well important for you to understand that if the school you are being positive about is pretty far from your location, then better to drop the dreams you are weaving of that one. More the distance calls in for spending more time on the commute. The farther the distance, earlier would be the pickup time of your child which would range from some crazy early hours of the day. Is it necessary to mention that your child will come home late as well? Let that good time be proactively used productively elsewhere. An after-school hobby class or an extra 10 minutes of playtime. Time extremes will mess up their biological clock which might hamper their concentration at school.

2. The Campus

Many people are still under a traditional belief that ‘the campus hardly plays an important role. Children will study wherever they want if they are guided in the right way.’ This assumption must be considered negative at some point. A clean, green, well lit and well-structured campus can aid the child’s focus towards better learning. A better campus ensures a better turn out of students each day who would love to sit with their friends for lunch at the park and enjoy some giggle time with their buddies in the library. Facilities may be exhibited like a commodity by the schools, but those facilities are finally put into good use by their own students reaping benefits from those. The campus must constitute as a comfortable as well as a ‘safe’ environment where the child possesses no fear and the parents too can send their children with no traces of any worry.

3. The Curriculum

How will you choose the best show for your child? Making them squeeze their feet into a smaller one or giving them ill fit shoes to get them more uncomfortable? Choosing a curriculum is as important as choosing the right pair of shoes. Shoes too loose can dangle from feet; if tight can bruise their toes. Similarly, know what your child wants than compared to what you need. Switching the board back and forth will cause more harm than switching schools. Consult with a good education counsellor or do some better research on different kinds of curriculum. When choosing a school, know what best the school offers with that curriculum they follow. Know more about their pedagogy and practices.

4. The Ratio

According to Indian Government rules, a student teacher ration should ideally be 30:1 for primary and can be 35:1 for the upper primary levels. Make sure that the school adhere to this rule. Lesser the students, more would the attention be. The teacher will have ample energy to spend on all the kids uniformly with this prescribed ratio. More students can take the class haywire with significantly less productive activities being conducted.

5. The Faculty

Look out for various sources to check the professionalism of the faculty of the school you wish to get your child admitted to. Well qualified teachers, skilled support staff or even the well-trained concierge desk. A school runs successfully only by the people in it. It is always cordial, transparent and healthy coordination between the school management committee and the parents that constitute a reputation of any prestigious school.

While the above-mentioned factors are certainly important, at the same time it also mandatory for parents to ensure your daughter or son gets the best possible education not only by visiting schools, collecting information but also by actively staying involved in your child's day-to-day activity at home as well as in the community.
