What it does for you

A single management system for your school or institute: from online admission inquiries, to student and parent profiles, classrooms, schedules, and attendance tracking, to assessments, grading, and tuition installment billing. Because tuition fees run on the same core accounting system, you see collected and overdue amounts per student without keeping separate spreadsheets.
