Questions

Schoolics FAQ

What is Schoolics?

Schoolics is the school operating system for modern schools. It brings fees, results, attendance, communication, timetables and learning tools together in one place for the school, teachers, parents and students.

Do we need a school website to use Schoolics?

No. Every school gets its own branded space on Schoolics, with or without a website of its own. If your school has no website, ask us about building one that connects to your Schoolics account.

Is it suitable for small schools?

Yes. Schoolics is multi-tenant software, so it serves schools of any size. A small nursery school and a large secondary school use the same platform, configured to fit.

Can parents pay fees online?

Yes. Schoolics supports online fee collection with receipts, and lets the school track who has paid and who owes.

Can we use our own school name and logo?

Yes. Schoolics is white-label, so your name, logo and colours appear on portals, report cards and receipts.
