Introducing Household Applications: One Form for Your Entire Family

We've been hard at work making the application experience better for families and schools alike, and today we're thrilled to share what's new.

One Application Per Family

We completely rebuilt how applications work. Instead of filling out a separate form for every child, guardians now complete a single Household Application that covers their entire family in one go.

For Families

  • Fill out shared household information just once (address, emergency contacts, etc.)
  • Add details for each student in the same form
  • Pay once for the whole family (or per student, depending on your school's setup)
  • Save progress and come back later with auto-save built right in
  • A beautiful step-by-step wizard guides you through the whole process

For School Administrators

  • Send one invitation that covers all students in a household
  • Review applications organized by family, not scattered across individual forms
  • Accept or reject each student individually while seeing the full family picture
  • Vote, comment, and collaborate with your team on each student's application
  • Choose between per-household or per-student pricing to fit your model
  • Issue refunds with smart pro-rata calculations for multi-student families

Streamlined Payment Processing

We've improved payment handling with support for multiple methods: credit/debit cards, bank transfers (ACH), and cash payments for offline collection. Fee breakdowns are transparent and calculated in real time as families complete their applications.

Self-Apply: Let Families Come to You

Schools can now publish applications that families can find and start on their own. No invitation required. Guardians create their profile, add their students, and submit their household application directly. It's enrollment, simplified.

Better Guardian & Student Management

Admins can now edit student and guardian details directly from the application dashboard. View full family profiles, update information, and keep records current without leaving your workflow.

These changes are live now. If you have any questions about setting up Household Applications for your organization, we'd love to help.
