What they’re saying about SchoolCNXT & 8to18…

8to18

I have been using 8to18 since 2008 and have never regretted that decision. They offer a wide-variety of programs from scheduling, to website, to online seasonal and summer registration, fundraising opportunity and much more. 8to18's customer service is outstanding and very knowledgeable. They are continuously listening to feedback from their customers on ways to enhance and improve their product. When I am asked by other ADs what/s the best scheduling, registration and website program to use, my answer has always been 8to18.
