Day school
A K-12 school where students attend classes during the day and return home — distinct from boarding or residential models.
Day school operations centre on daily attendance, parent pickup communication, fee cycles aligned to terms, and exam calendars tied to local boards.
Software for day schools prioritises family portals, admissions intake, and same-day operational workflows over residential modules like hostel management.
