Why School Twist
Walk Through: Set Up & Use of School Twist
Is your after school program stuck in the 1980s? We’re parents too and we’ve been there. We know how complicated it can be to organize and offer a single class, let alone many classes. We developed School Twist from the ground up specifically to simplify and improve the registration process for after school programs.
Our Mission
We provide software tools and a marketplace that help and connect schools, PTOs, and parents with after school course providers, course developers, and instructors in order to bring a wider variety of high quality after school enrichment programs to schools across the nation.
Online Registration
Parents can sign-up online. You can accept credit cards and PayPal online, plus cash, checks, and scholarships offline. Tracking who has signed-up, and who has paid, becomes pretty easy.
For You
We know every community is different. Every group handles events differently. We've developed School Twist from our first-hand experience in over 50 schools and added features to accommodate each of them. However you handle your classes, our system will probably work for you. If not, contact us and we'll see about either enhancing our system or at least helping you with a work-around.
Work-Flow Helpful
It's not just about registration, it's about making things better and easier. Everything in School Twist, current and future, is done with that goal in mind. Every feature was put in to: add a new capability, remove repetitive tasks, or keep information flowing smoothly.
Testimonials
You're in good company
I was an early adopter of School Twist, which I discovered by word of mouth soon after I became the Director of a busy, suburban K-8 after-school enrichment program. Making the switch from paper registration forms was an immediate, and HUGE time-saver, (and getting rid of the paper catalog was a huge money saver). The integration with online payment processing saves us a lot of time and effort too (we were still using paper checks as recently as 2015, believe it or not). With School Twist, each session gets easier to run, and it streamlines processes immensely. Running an enrichment program like this is is an enormous challenge and School Twist really helps to make it possible. I have to mention too: the level of support from JJ and his team was top-notch - they know what it is like to both organize and run programs like this, so are able to advise based on real-world experience.

Handling registration for our after school program used to be labor intensive and complicated, but our new registration system has changed all this. The time it takes to organize the registration process has been cut in half. This allows our PTA volunteers to accomplish the task with less busy work and use their time in ways which really benefit the children. In addition, families in our school find the system more streamlined and easier to use.
Kate A., RegistrarUsing School Twist is great, things got much easier and faster since we introduced it. It allowed us to be more flexible with an increase in the number of classes offered and the introduction of payments with credit cards. And JJ has been great to work with, too.
