The #1 platform for performing arts.

Performing arts schools run admission processes that have no equivalent in academic K-12 or higher education: auditions with multiple jury rounds, artistic evaluation criteria, discipline-specific pipelines (dance, music, theatre, film), and scholarship decisions tied to artistic merit rather than academic record alone. Standard school management software treats admissions as a form-collection exercise. PCR Educator supports multi-round audition scheduling, artistic panel scoring, program-specific pipelines, and scholarship allocation — all connected to the enrollment and billing workflow that follows an offer. Schools report that automating the audition-to-enrollment pipeline is where they see the most immediate staff time savings.

PCR's CRM module supports the full audition pipeline: online audition applications with discipline-specific fields, audition scheduling with room and panel assignment, jury scoring with rubric-based evaluation forms, and round-by-round advancement tracking. Panel members can enter scores through a faculty portal without needing full administrative access. Program directors see live audition results across all disciplines and rounds. Offer letters, waitlist communications, and financial aid awards all trigger automatically from the CRM based on audition outcomes. Schools running in-person, live-virtual, and pre-recorded audition formats can configure separate workflows for each within the same system.

Yes. PCR Educator supports arts-specific scholarship structures including merit awards tied to audition outcomes, need-based aid, talent grants, and named endowed scholarships with donor-specified criteria. Aid packages are built in the CRM during the admissions process and flow directly to the billing system when a student enrolls — no manual re-entry between admissions and finance. Scholarship renewal conditions, performance requirements, and annual review triggers can be automated so the financial aid office is notified when a student's standing changes. Advancement teams can track which scholarships are attracting the strongest applicants and report back to donors on award outcomes.

PCR supports dual-track students who carry both academic coursework and studio or conservatory requirements within a single enrollment record. Academic transcript credits, studio hours, ensemble participation, jury performance requirements, and academic grades all attach to the same student. Scheduling reflects both tracks without requiring separate systems for the academic registrar and the conservatory registrar. For schools that award academic credit for performance, studio instruction, or master classes, those credits are posted directly to the academic transcript. The student portal shows both tracks in a unified view — families do not see separate academic and conservatory portals.

Performing arts alumni are among the most engaged donor bases in independent education — they share a strong institutional identity and a clear story of transformation. PCR's advancement module tracks alumni from the moment they graduate: performance career milestones, annual fund participation, major gift pipeline, event attendance, and communication history are all stored against the same record that started as an audition application. Development staff can segment alumni by discipline, graduation year, scholarship history, and giving capacity. Reunion campaigns, scholarship naming opportunities, and capital campaign outreach all run through the same CRM without exporting to a separate fundraising database.
