K-12 Schools in Spain: what actually differs here

The Spanish structure runs through primaria, then ESO, then Bachillerato, where students choose a modality that determines their subject load and their route to university access. That choice is a structural branch in the record rather than a preference stored beside it.

Schoolyi records modality and subject enrolment per student with assessment structure configured per stage, so reporting reflects the actual programme rather than the year group default. One student record across the stages means academic history follows a student into Bachillerato, where it matters for the access calculation.

The calendar varies by comunidad, including regional holidays and different term boundaries, and drives attendance, timetable, and reporting from one source. In bilingual regions subject structure differs, which is a configuration matter rather than a translation matter.

• Primaria, ESO, and Bachillerato on one record with carried history
• Bachillerato modality recorded per student as a structural branch
• Regional holidays and term boundaries from one configured calendar
• Bilingual-region subject structures configured, not translated

Why k-12 schools in Spain choose Schoolyi

K-12 schools in Spain need continuity from early years through graduation — promotions, fee models, and assessment types change by stage, but student records should stay on one profile. Schoolyi keeps roster, calendar, fees, attendance, gradebook, and formal exams connected so Spanish coordinators promote students and update guardians once while downstream modules inherit the change. Leadership evaluates platforms by tracing one student journey in a demo — inquiry, enrollment, fee payment, daily attendance, term bulletins and national exam preparation cycles, and family portal — without the vendor switching systems mid-flow.

• Does the demo cover autumn intake across primary and secondary divisions without switching spreadsheets?
• Can finance reconcile term tuition with online pay adoption in the same ledger families see?
• Are Spanish Bachillerato report cards publish-gated before guardians log in?
• Does the SIS support mediterranean term calendars with family portal expectations?

Capabilities k-12 schools in Spain evaluate first

When k-12 schools in Spain compare vendors, the demo should trace connected workflows — not slide decks of disconnected modules. Walk through autumn intake across primary and secondary divisions: inquiry, document checks, offer, enrollment into roster, fee account creation, and parent portal invitation without retyping student data. Then follow the same student through attendance on working days from the holiday master, term tuition with online pay adoption, and term bulletins and national exam preparation cycles with publish gates before families see results.

Schoolyi links admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family portals on one academic calendar — Spanish teams phase rollout starting with admissions, student records, and fees, then add timetable, formal assessments, and HR when coordinators can absorb the change without a rip-and-replace project.

• Guardian and sibling links for Spanish households with multiple children
• Academic calendar tuned to autumn intake across primary and secondary divisions and term bulletins and national exam preparation cycles
• Exam seating, hall tickets, and report card PDFs when Spanish schools publish
• HR, payroll, and leave aligned to Spain term dates
• Mediterranean term calendars with family portal expectations on one student information record
