What is Scolana exactly?

Scolana is a school management toolkit, allowing you to streamline a number of essential administrative processes.

Scolana primarily handles new registrations, billing, and communications. Use Scolana to establish definitive lists of children - classes, activities, and any other kind of group - and produce reports and documents for distribution among parents and teachers. Billing and payments data is securely and transparently shared with your accountant and with your clients - with appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

Scolana is 100% online, all you need is an internet connection and an up-to-date browser - you and your team can work from anywhere.

We take care of updates, backups, availability, reliability and guarantee the security and confidentiality of your data.

Scolana is bilingual - available right now in English and in French, and other languages on request.

More specifically:

• Scolana provides a series of forms allowing parents register their family details and enrollment preferences directly in your database.
• You build your class lists for the coming year from the pool of existing, renewing students and the pool of new applicants
• Create groups of children for any purpose - all the children in a class, in an activity, with a particular skill, constraint, or ambition
• Prepare invoices for an entire group of children in a single operation - whether it's enrollment, renewal, lunch, chess, sports, school, or any other kind of fees
• Parents can access their profiles and keep their information up to date all by themselves
• Parents can view their billing and payment information and understand why they still owe you money and where that cheque went
