Private schools lose most prospective families between the first enquiry and the visit. Admissions software (an admissions CRM) logs every enquiry, reminds staff to follow up and shows which channels bring families who actually enrol. This page compares options and explains why Anademy Admissions is our pick for schools serious about filling their next intake.
About the name: Anademy = Ananke + Academy. It is the family of school systems made by Ananke Digital, a Kenyan software team. Each Anademy tool is set up for the individual school on order.
