Catholic school admissions, inquiry to enrolled.

One parish school or a diocese of fifty. PCR Educator runs inquiry, application, sacramental documents, financial aid, and tuition on a single student record, so a family moves from interest to enrolled without anyone re-keying a form.

One record, inquiry to tuition Admissions and business office see the same family
Parish subsidy and aid Assessed alongside tuition, not beside it
35+ years serving faith schools Purpose-built since 1991
Sacramental documents in the application

Faith records collected where families already are.

Baptismal certificates, confirmation records, and pastor recommendations are collected inside the application itself, attached to the family record, and visible to the admissions committee at review.

Faith documents, in the file
Parish subsidy and tuition assistance

Aid and tuition assessed together.

Parish subsidy, need-based assistance, and scholarship awards are assessed against the same record that carries the family's tuition and fees, so an offer letter reflects what the family will actually pay.

Aid and tuition, one view
One school or a whole diocese

The same platform at either scale.

A single parochial school of 120 students runs the same admissions workflow as a diocese rolling up fifty campuses. There is no minimum campus count and no separate small-school product.

Same platform, either scale

Diocese ReportingSTORY 01

What Catholic schools ask about admissions on
PCR Educator.

Does PCR Educator work for a single parish school, or only for a diocese?

Both. A single parochial school runs the complete admissions workflow on its own: inquiry capture, online application, sacramental document collection, aid assessment, decision, deposit, and tuition billing. There is no minimum campus count and no separate cut-down product for smaller schools. Diocesan networks add central reporting on top of that same platform, where each school keeps its own records and the diocese sees consolidated enrollment, yield, and aid figures.

Can families submit baptismal and confirmation records with the application?

Yes. Sacramental documentation is collected inside the application rather than through a separate email or paper step. Baptismal certificates, confirmation records, and pastor recommendations attach to the family record and are available to the admissions committee during review, alongside academic records and recommendations.

How is parish subsidy handled alongside need-based financial aid?

Parish subsidy, need-based assistance, and scholarship awards are assessed against the same family record that carries tuition and fees. Because aid and billing are not separate systems, an award decision resolves directly into what the family is invoiced, and the business office does not re-enter the figure.

What happens to an applicant's record after they enroll?

It continues. The record created at inquiry carries through to enrollment, scheduling, grades, attendance, billing, and advancement, so a family is not re-created as a new record at any handoff. That continuity is the reason admissions, the registrar, and the business office see the same family rather than three versions of one.

Can a diocese report across every campus without logging into each school?

Yes. Diocesan administrators can be granted reporting-level access across the network, giving consolidated enrollment counts, re-enrollment yield, financial summaries, and advancement totals without entering each school's system and without exposing operationally sensitive detail at the school level.
