St. Luke's School sits on 460 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its 880 students split roughly two-thirds boarding and one-third day, with families in 32 countries and a financial aid program that adjusts for income, currency, and home-country cost of living. The admissions team handles applications from Beijing at 3 AM Eastern and from Sao Paulo at 9 PM. Operationally, the school never closes. Before PCR Educator, that operation ran on five tools and a great deal of manual translation. International applications came through a portal that did not speak to the SIS. Financial aid awards lived in a spreadsheet that had to convert between USD, GBP, EUR, and RMB by hand. Boarding logistics (room assignments, advisor pairings, travel itineraries) were emailed back and forth as PDFs. What they built on PCR Educator The academy moved everything onto PCR Educator over a 16-week implementation timed to launch with the new admissions cycle. One application portal for all applicants, day and boarding, domestic and international. Multilingual support, time-zone-aware reminders, and automatic translation of administrative communications for families who request it. Financial aid handled in PCR Educator's aid module with multi-currency awards, automatic FX conversion at the rate locked at award time, and family-facing letters in the family's preferred language. Residential life runs on PCR Educator. Room assignments, advisor pairings, weekend leave forms, travel itineraries, and health center visits all hang off the same student record. Parent communication in PCR Educator with AI-assisted drafting. Families receive updates that feel personal, not boilerplate, even when the same news goes to 880 households. Cross-time-zone team handoffs. The admissions counselor in Asheville hands off to the international rep traveling in Singapore, both seeing the same applicant record and the same notes. The weekend leave problem Boarding schools live or die on the small operational tasks. Weekend leave forms, signed by parents and dorm parents, used to be a Friday afternoon scramble: paper forms, missed signatures, last-minute travel changes. PCR Educator digitized the form, attached it to the student record, and gave parents one-tap approval from any phone. The Friday scramble disappeared. What changed for international families Families in Beijing, Lagos, and Mumbai log in to one portal. The interface adapts to their language. The bills convert to their currency. The school year and the summer programs share one statement. The dorm parent emails come from the same brand and the same inbox as the head of school's monthly note. The school feels closer.
