Assessment rhythm: Gaokao preparation tracks and term progress reports multi-campus groups scaling across provinces Private, independent, and international schools in China - especially around Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen - often run Chinese national curriculum, IB, A-Level pathways with Chinese and English-medium instruction. Coordinators juggle September enrolment before the academic year start while finance teams track term tuition with installment and sibling structures. Chinese families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and Gaokao preparation tracks and term progress reports - not phone calls to the front office. Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so multi-campus groups scaling across provinces does not live in disconnected spreadsheets. Whether you operate a single campus or a growing group, Schoolyi gives Chinese school teams modular rollout: start with admissions, student records, and fees, then switch on timetable, exams, and HR when staff are ready.
