How a virtual school runs its full academic lifecycle across countries and time zones on one platform

Running a full school online meant managing admissions, classes, exams, attendance, results and promotions across centers, two education stages and different time zones.

The challenge & goal
The business problem
The school needed to run a complete school online, not just publish lessons. That meant managing students, teachers, centers, exams, attendance, results and year-end promotions digitally, for students living in different countries.
What the client wanted to achieve
- Manage the full school digitally from one platform
- Support live, interactive classes across time zones
- Automate exams, grading and report cards
- Give each role (managers, supervisors, teachers, parents) the right tools and access
What made it difficult
- Students in several countries, with different time zones for live classes.
- Two education stages (A & B) with different requirements and pass/fail criteria.
- Several learning centers inside one school, each needing separate data and reports.
- Teachers assigned by grade and section, with strict separation of permissions.
The solution
We built an Enterprise Virtual School Infrastructure System: several connected systems that work together as one. It is more than an LMS, an SIS or a registration website. It is everything needed to launch and run a digital school across countries and centers.
School leadership, center managers, stage supervisors, teachers, students and parents.
Main capabilities
SIS – school information
Register students, teachers and staff; manage grades, sections and centers; attendance; pass/fail and promotion; full archive; publish marks and report cards; academic reports.
LMS – teaching and learning
Lessons, time-zone-aware live sessions, online exams and grading, assignments and grading, learning-material archive, academic announcements and pass criteria per grade.
Admissions & registration
Manage and track applications, admit students against criteria set per grade, with a direct link to the core system.
Live classes
Integration with an interactive video platform so students join live lessons and interact with teachers.
Website with CMS
Presents the school's services and stages, with a registration form connected to admissions.
Role-based portals
Separate portals for managers, stage supervisors, teachers and parents, built on Role-Based Access Control.
Mobile app
