School Admissions: Welcoming Families with Clarity and Care
In this episode of "In Search of Catholic School Excellence," Thomas Boles and Becky Wong dive into the admissions process for Catholic schools, sharing practical strategies and best practices to attract and welcome new families. They discuss the importance of visibility, community reputation, and intentional, personalized engagement throughout the admissions journey—from initial inquiry to enrollment and beyond. The conversation highlights actionable tips for making schools more inviting, reducing barriers for prospective families, and fostering a sense of belonging that supports both students and parents.
Becky reminds us to focus on Communication with Families, the Environment we invite new families into and engaging the Community as part of the process. If we can consider how we can simplify and gain clarity about each step of the process that families will go through in applying, enrolling and attending our school, we can increase the numbers and overall satisfaction, making our marketing efforts even easier.
