Stratford School of San Francisco, California recently became the first preschool and elementary school to hire CollegeNET, Inc. of Portland, Oregon to build and serve a school application form parents can fill out over the Internet.

With two campuses in the San Francisco Bay area, Stratford wanted to offer the same kind of online convenience in applying to their school they knew parents were enjoying in other areas of their lives. "Parents like the flexibility of applying online, because it means less time and energy on their part" says Joe Wagner, Stratford's founder. Besides letting parents enter and submit student application information, the CollegeNET form also allows them to pay the application fee online using a debit/credit card or electronic check.

Wagner says CollegeNET was their best vendor choice to provide this important service. "CollegeNET is an ideal partner for Stratford School," said Wagner. "By handling our new student applications over the Internet, they allow us to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time educating children."

CollegeNET currently provides online forms and support services to over 500 colleges, universities, and organizations world-wide.
