Quick Setup Guide
Get your school up and running on Skoolia in under 30 minutes.
Create your account
Sign up at skoolia.com with your email address. You will receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account.
Set up your organization
Enter your school name, upload your logo, choose your country and timezone. This information appears on reports, invoices, and the parent portal.
Configure your academic year
Go to Settings → Academic Structure → Academic Years & Terms. Create your current academic year, then use "Generate Terms" to create your semesters, trimesters, or quarters automatically — or add them manually with custom dates.
Add your staff
Navigate to Settings → User Management. Invite teachers, registrars, and accountants by email. Each person receives a secure invitation link to create their account.
Create classes
Go to Classes and create your class structure. Set the class name, grade level, and student capacity. You can assign a homeroom teacher to each class.
Add students
Navigate to Students and add students individually or use Bulk Import to upload from a CSV or Excel file. The AI Column Mapper will automatically match your file columns to Skoolia fields.
Configure subjects
Go to Subjects and add your curriculum subjects. Link subjects to the appropriate grade levels and assign teachers to each subject per class.
Set up your grading system
In Settings → Academic Structure → Grading System, choose your grading scale (letter grades, numerical, or custom — regional templates are available). Configure assessment types with weights, passing thresholds, and GPA mapping rules.
Tips & Best Practices
- Start with one class to test your workflow before importing all students.
- Use the bulk import feature to save time — it supports CSV and Excel files.
- Invite a colleague as Admin so you have backup access to the system.
- Set up your academic calendar events early so they appear on everyone's dashboard.
