Founded in 2001, STARS is a school management system (SMS) dedicated primarily to serving the postsecondary career school industry. The STARS student management system (SMS) is a comprehensive, cloud-based, all-in-one system. It includes an extensive CRM accompanied by a fully integrated learning management system (LMS). Unlike most other systems, STARS is the product of a team of people who actually operated and owned a group of schools during which time STARS was designed, developed, and implemented. As a result, they are very familiar with the kind of management system schools need to run successfully and efficiently. The STARS school and student management system is designed to provide schools with the tools they need, no matter their size. Whether you run a small school or one with multiple campuses, STARS is the affordable and practical solution!
