Frequently asked questions

Common questions about school management software in south africa with Schoolyi - School Management Software.

Does Schoolyi work for schools in South Africa?+

Schoolyi supports K-12 and international schools in South Africa with modular admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family portals on one academic calendar. Rollout is scoped to the modules your team needs first.

Can South Africa schools collect fees online?+

Yes. Finance teams define fee structures and installments; families pay online or at the counter. Successful payments produce PDF receipts with email delivery while finance reconciles in the same ledger.

How long does implementation typically take?+

Pilot schools often go live with admissions, roster, and fees in a few weeks when data is ready. Larger campuses phase academics, exams, and HR over subsequent terms.

Is Schoolyi cloud-based school management software?+

Schoolyi is a web application — staff, teachers, and families sign in through a browser with role-based access. Your school provisions accounts; there is no separate desktop install for day-to-day work.

Can we roll out modules in phases?+

Yes. Most schools start with admissions, student records, and fees, then add timetable, exams, HR, and operations as teams are ready. Roles control which modules each user sees from day one.

How do families interact with the school?+

Guardians use a parent portal for fees, receipts, published grades, and attendance summaries. Public admissions apply and track pages let applicants follow status before they have a full portal login.
