Is Skoolia suitable for Australian independent and Catholic schools?
Yes. Skoolia is built for independent, private, and international schools — including Catholic, Anglican, and non-denominational independent schools across Australia. It covers student information management, attendance, gradebook, fee management in AUD, parent portal, and AI timetabling. Most schools are operational within two to six weeks.
Does Skoolia support ATAR subject option structures?
Yes. Skoolia's AI scheduling engine is constraint-aware, handling ATAR subject option pools, shared specialist staff, and varied room requirements. The gradebook is fully configurable to support Australian curriculum assessment structures, including ATAR and VCE frameworks as well as school-specific internal assessment policies.
Can Skoolia handle fee management in AUD?
Yes. Skoolia's fee management module operates in AUD. Schools can create fee structures with term-based or annual instalments, apply sibling and scholarship discounts, generate invoices, and send automated payment reminders. Outstanding balances are tracked automatically, reducing manual follow-up for the business manager.
Does Skoolia comply with Australian data protection requirements?
Skoolia is designed to support schools' obligations under the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, access is governed by role-based permissions with complete audit logging, and data is processed in secure cloud infrastructure.
How long does onboarding take for an Australian independent school?
Most Australian schools are fully operational within two to six weeks. The Skoolia onboarding team manages data migration from any existing system — including TASS, Sentral, or spreadsheets — system configuration, and staff training. A parallel-run period is included before retiring the previous system.
How does Skoolia's pricing compare to legacy SIS platforms?
Skoolia's Starter plan is $99 per month for up to 500 students and the Growth plan is $299 per month for up to 2,000 students. All include the core modules — attendance, gradebook, parent portal, communication, analytics, and fee management — without additional per-module fees. Pricing is published and predictable.
