Understanding Inquiry Forms for School Admissions

For many schools, the inquiry form is the first opportunity for the admissions team to connect with prospective families. This form is essential for gathering information about families' interests and preferences, paving the way for meaningful communication. By engaging families early, schools can build a positive relationship and create a welcoming atmosphere for the admissions process.

The Importance of Inquiry Forms

In today's landscape, many parents prefer to conduct extensive research online before reaching out. To attract these families, it’s crucial to create a strong inquiry landing page. This page should serve as a compelling entry point for prospective families and it's the perfect place to embed your Finalsite Enrollment Inquiry form.

How to Create an Effective Inquiry Form

To improve the likelihood of parents filling out an inquiry form, consider what motivates them to reach out. Here are some compelling reasons they might have:

• RSVP for an admissions event (such as a tour or open house).
• Ask specific questions about the admissions process.
• Seek assistance with financial aid options.

When designing your inquiry form, think from the perspective of prospective families. They want to learn more about your school. Keep the form concise—about six fields—and ensure that the call-to-action button is the most prominent feature on the page.

By rethinking your inquiry process, you can create a more engaging and effective experience for prospective families, increasing the likelihood of connection and interest in your school.
