In February 2004, John Paul II encouraged the use of Internet by the Church as an especially appropriate means to evangelize young people.
Founded in 2004, OptionC is a collaborative community of top Catholic schools that aid in the design of the most advanced School Management System specific to their needs. The web based system supports their efforts to increase academic excellence while extending the faith through technology. The system also includes a diocesan module that aggregates all “live” data from all member schools such as the NCEA report and other diocesan and state reports.
OptionC has experienced tremendous growth since then and continues to replace public and secular school management systems throughout the country. Diocesan and school administrators recognize and appreciate the opportunity to help drive functionality that is specific to their needs and in most cases, at no additional cost.
Unlike other companies that focus on gradebooks or parent online access or billing or alumni tracking or web sites or fundraising or book fairs or EFT tuition collection etc., OptionC provides a one-stop online portal that supports everything a Catholic school needs. Today, leading Catholic schools recognize the benefits of having all functionality in one online location with one login. OptionC schools typically replace & consolidate between 2 to 6 separate systems.
Over the last several years, OptionC has expanded to assist its Catholic school members with tuition collection and fundraising services.
Its 24Tuition EFT Services division enables Schools to receive their tuition money in as little as 12-48 hours after withdrawal, significantly faster than current industry standards of 10 days.
