A parent portal parents actually open.
Admissions inquiry to enrollment contract, tuition payments, parent announcements, and class schedules in one modern portal. Works alongside Blackbaud, FACTS, or Gradelink — we replace the parts those systems are worst at.
Pain points we solve
What's costing you time and money
Admissions lives across four tools
Inquiry form on MailChimp, tour scheduling on Calendly, application on Google Forms, enrollment contract by DocuSign. Your registrar spends more time copy-pasting than admitting students.
Parents ignore the SIS
Blackbaud and RenWeb are built for administrators, not parents. A clean parent-facing portal gets opened — and keeps parents off the phone with the front office.
Tuition aging is quietly 10-15% of revenue
Small schools carry real receivables because payment plans and reminders are manual. Automated reminders and saved-card autopay recover most of it.
Substitute scheduling is still on paper
Smaller schools run teacher coverage off a whiteboard and a group text. A coverage dashboard inside the portal gives the Head of School actual visibility.
Why DreamForge
Built for private schools & academies
Built by a working academy operator
DreamForge Academy (dreamforgeworld.com) is a live learning platform — enrollment, scheduling, progress tracking, parent messaging. Same DNA, customized to your school.
Works with Step Up & FES vouchers
Florida's school-choice vouchers funnel real dollars into small private and religious schools. We build the portal voucher families expect in 2026 — not the one they got in 2012.
Admissions, billing, and parent comms in one
Keep Blackbaud or FACTS for the SIS. We replace the admissions funnel, the parent portal, and the billing experience with something that feels like the current decade.
