Built for the way your organisation actually works
Schoolise isn’t shaped around one kind of organisation. The same core platform adapts to independent schools, international schools, state schools and academies, tutoring centres, training providers and online learning providers — each with its own structure, terminology and priorities.
One platform, configured for how you run

Every organisation starts with the Core Platform (organisation management, people, courses, timetable and attendance) — this table shows how the additional packages are typically applied. Click a column heading to see the full solution for that organisation type.
The full academic and pastoral picture, in one place
Independent schools carry a lot at once — admissions and enrolment, fee billing, safeguarding and pastoral care, and a standard of parent communication that families expect to be personal and prompt. Schoolise keeps all of it against the same student record, rather than split across a registration system, a finance package and an inbox.
- Admissions through to leavers, on one continuous student record.
- Fee schedules, invoicing and a parent payment portal in the same platform as attendance and reports.
- Safeguarding and welfare records held to a restricted-access standard, separate from day-to-day teaching notes.
- Parent communication and reporting that feels personal, without staff re-typing the same update twice.

Built for multiple curricula, languages and campuses
International schools rarely run on a single national curriculum or a single site. Families relocate mid-year, staff and students span several nationalities, and the same organisation may need to reflect more than one education system at once. Schoolise’s organisation and academic structure is built to flex around that, rather than assume one country’s school calendar.
- Education system presets that reflect different curricula and grading conventions.
- Available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Greek, for staff, parents and students.
- Multiple sites and buildings managed under one organisation, with academic years and terms configured per site.
- Document and family records that handle mid-year arrivals and departures smoothly.

Consistent processes, across every school in the trust
Academies and multi-academy trusts need every school to run the same way — the same safeguarding standard, the same attendance process, the same reporting format — while still being able to see how each individual school is doing. Schoolise’s multi-site structure keeps each school distinct while giving trust-level staff a consistent view across all of them.
- Multiple schools managed as sites within one organisation, each with its own year groups, staff and timetables.
- Safeguarding workflows and audit trails applied the same way at every school in the trust.
- Cross-school reporting on attendance, behaviour and outcomes, without merging spreadsheets from each site.
- Role-based access so trust leadership, heads and classroom staff each see the right level of detail.

Flexible enough for rolling enrolment and part-time tutors
Tutoring centres don’t run on a fixed academic year the way schools do — students join mid-term, courses run in short blocks, and tutors are often part-time and teaching at several centres. Schoolise’s course and class structure is flexible enough to handle rolling enrolment and per-course billing without forcing a school-shaped calendar onto it.
- Course offerings and teaching groups that can start and end independently of a school term.
- Rolling registration, so new students can be added to a course at any point.
- Per-course or per-session billing, invoicing and outstanding balance tracking.
- Tutor allocation across multiple teaching groups, in person or online.

Cohorts, compliance and outcomes — not just classes
Training providers tend to think in cohorts and outcomes rather than year groups: learners join a specific course offering, need to be assessed against defined criteria, and often have to demonstrate completion for compliance or certification purposes. Schoolise’s course and assessment structure supports that, alongside the scheduling and communication every provider still needs.
- Cohort-based course offerings with clear start and end points.
- Assessments, mark schemes and feedback built for demonstrating competency, not just grading.
- Completion and compliance reporting that can be exported for external bodies.
- Delivery that works whether a course runs in person, online, or both.

Structure for organisations that run entirely online
Running entirely online doesn’t mean running without structure — attendance, assessment and communication still need to happen, just without a physical classroom. Schoolise treats online delivery as a first-class part of the platform, not an add-on to a system built for in-person schools.
- Virtual classrooms with lesson links, resources and attendance in one place.
- Attendance recorded for online lessons the same way as in-person ones.
- Assessment and feedback delivered without a separate system.
- Course billing and payments alongside delivery, not in a separate tool.
