Schoolyi

Terms, holidays, and working days every module shares

Academic calendar

Configure academic years, term boundaries, holidays, and working days once — attendance, exams, fees, timetables, and leave all inherit the same dates. When the calendar is wrong, every module breaks. Schoolyi treats the academic calendar as the source of truth so coordinators set terms and holidays once and downstream workflows stop maintaining parallel date lists.

Why schools upgrade academic calendar

When the calendar is wrong, every module breaks. Schoolyi treats the academic calendar as the source of truth so coordinators set terms and holidays once and downstream workflows stop maintaining parallel date lists.

Connected to calendar & structure

Configure academic years, term boundaries, holidays, and working days once — attendance, exams, fees, timetables, and leave all inherit the same dates. Because academic calendar lives inside calendar & structure on Schoolyi, teams stop reconciling exports between spreadsheets and the parent portal.
