The school admissions office in an independent school plays a critical and unique role of assisting parents through what can sometimes be a complex application process. Welcoming children & parents from all over the world to experience a learning environment that is second to none, we believe that they need to be empowered with the tools to demonstrate the excellence of the school right from the initial enquiry.
The HEIApply system is designed to streamline the admissions process for international and independent schools enabling them to streamline the admissions process. Our intuitive admissions system is responsive to your existing processes and ambitions, enabling the ultimate applicant journey to maximise applications and school place take-up.

The Challenge


Independent Schools are home to ambitious students from different regions across the globe. We know that means hundreds of applications from families trying to secure a place for quality education.

We know that families are looking for the best schools and teachers, which means there is a high degree of competition. You need to stand out in order to not just survive but thrive as an school that is dedicated towards excellence!


As if this wasn’t complex enough, the admissions process is intricate, involving school visits and academic assessments from the beginning. High levels of manual effort are involved in tracking potential applicants and pulling together information that enables offers to be made.

Independent Schools are at risk of falling short on delivering the applicant journey that modern day families expect. A disjointed and slow enrolment process can undermine the carefully crafted learning experience your school offers.
