Coursedog vs. Diamond Mind

To lessen the workload from having to input everything manually based off of PDFs, now the schedulers input into Coursedog on their side, and all stakeholders have access to their sections and schedules and can see the status of everything.

Diamond Mind is made specifically for independent schools to use for a myriad of payment collecting situations. It is perfectly suited for our small independent school as we are able to easily roll this out for all parents. Because it is used campus-wide for many things, like adding money to a student account, paying for trips, and more, our parents and families are used to using this program to make payments to the school.
