Modern schools are required to manage a lot of data, including students, classes, teachers, grades, attendance etc and parents are demanding more access to this data e.g. real time attendance.
However, current school based systems offer only partial solutions to these new demands. They are not web-based, they are often cumbersome, inflexible, outdated and have no access for parents. They also tend to focus on managing the internals of the school and forget about communicating with parents and students. This status quo is not sustainable for schools that strive to be modern and who also want to compete for new students.
Schoolarix was conceived to solve all of these problems. It is a web based school management system that manages all aspects of a school. It provides a complete solution for the day to day management of a school and supports the entire school community. At the heart of the system lies the Schoolarix core modules. The core manages the most important aspects of a school i.e. students, teachers, subjects, classes etc. Schoolarix offers additional modules to manage specific areas of school activity e.g. attendance, parent participation, substitution etc.
Schoolarix improves communication throughout the school, between parents and teachers, students and teachers and also between parents. This is a fundamental difference between current school management systems and Schoolarix; the architecture of the system takes for granted the active involvement of the parents and thus has built in secure access to the system. All data is encrypted, between browser and server, all sensitive data in the database is encrypted and only authorized users can access the system.
Schoolarix uses the cloud to provide a secure, scalable and affordable system to schools. Imilia Interactive Mobile Applications GmbH produces the software and hosts and manages the system. The use of the system is free to a school but parents are required to pay a small annual fee for the use of the system.
