Choosing a school management system: seven questions to ask

Before you sign, make sure the system fits how your school collects fees, reports results and talks to parents.

A school system touches everyone: the head teacher, the bursar, teachers, parents and students. These questions help separate a good fit from an expensive mistake.

  1. Can parents pay fees by mobile money, and are payments reconciled automatically?
  2. Does it follow our curriculum and grading — continuous assessment, terms and report card formats?
  3. How are parents kept informed — portal, SMS or both?
  4. Who owns the data, and can we export it?
  5. What happens when the internet is slow?
  6. Who supports us, and how fast?
  7. What does it cost as we grow — per student, per module or flat?

We built SchoolSphere to answer each of these well. Talk to us.
