Why schools need this module connected

The academic calendar is the backbone of your school year. Terms, holidays, working days, and events flow into attendance, exams, fees, timetables, and leave — so every team works from the same dates and structure.

When the calendar changes, downstream modules should not break. Schoolyi ties classes, subjects, syllabus templates, and session boundaries to one academic model. Coordinators set the year once; teachers, finance, and exam teams inherit consistent dates without maintaining parallel spreadsheets.

What you can run day to day

Schoolyi’s calendar & structure module is built for the teams listed below — not as a standalone spreadsheet replacement, but as part of one calendar, roster, and role model.

  • Academic system master (board-style configuration)
  • Classes, sections, streams, and subject catalog
  • Academic year and term boundaries
  • Unified academic calendar with holidays and events
  • Holiday master synced to the calendar
  • Syllabus templates and curriculum builder
  • NCERT textbook reference catalog

Outcomes leadership cares about

When this area shares data with admissions, fees, exams, and reporting, coordinators stop reconciling exports every week.

  • One source of truth for working days, holidays, and term dates
  • Timetable, attendance, and exams stay aligned when the calendar shifts
  • Curriculum and syllabus planning tied to class structure
  • Less manual reconciliation between academic and operations teams

Who uses it

Typical users: Academic coordinators, Principals, Admin office. Each role sees only the screens and actions scoped to their job.
