An academic platform for US schools and families

We build school management software that brings enrollment, grades, report cards, attendance, and tuition into one platform. Teachers enter grades from their phones, administrators review before publishing, and parents check their children's progress without scheduling meetings. A school management system that fits your grading scale, your terms, and the way your school communicates.

Updated:

  • Report cards without late nights

FAQ about school management software

Can’t find your question?

Message an advisor and we’ll get back to you during business hours (Bogotá time, UTC-5).

Do parents need to install anything?

No. They log in from their phone's browser with their username. If you need it, we can also publish it as an installable app.

Can we change the grading scale every year?

Yes. Grading scales, terms, subject areas, and weightings are set up from the admin panel without touching code.

How long does it take to get it ready?

It depends on the modules. Ideally, you launch at the start of a school year or term, so we plan the student data load ahead of time.

What happens to grades from previous years?

We migrate them from your system or from Excel so the academic history is complete.

What other names is school software known by?

It’s also known as academic software for schools, a gradebook platform for schools, a school management system, or software for educational institutions. It relates to intranets, extranets, client portals, secure login, and document management, topics we review with you when the project calls for them.

Which of these services do you need?

For schools and universities: these services are related, but they solve different problems. Choose based on what you need.
