Admissions peaks during August enrolment before the academic year start Fee collection habits: mensualidad and term tuition with ancillary charges Private, independent, and international schools in Mexico - especially around Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Puebla - often run SEP national curriculum, IB, Cambridge pathways with Spanish instruction with bilingual private school options. Coordinators juggle August enrolment before the academic year start while finance teams track mensualidad and term tuition with ancillary charges. Mexican families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and bimester report cards and national evaluation cycles - not phone calls to the front office. Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so primary and secondary divisions on shared roster data does not live in disconnected spreadsheets. Whether you operate a single campus or a growing group, Schoolyi gives Mexican school teams modular rollout: start with admissions, student records, and fees, then switch on timetable, exams, and HR when staff are ready.
