School Management System for Singapore schools and learning centres

Episcript designs, builds and supports School Management Systems in Singapore: admissions, classes, attendance, exams, fees and the parent portal, with AI we build in to answer enquiries, mark work, flag at-risk students and draft reports.

For a single campus or a group of branches, all on one system.

Core modules

Core School Management System modules

The modules most schools start with, all working from one student record.

Registration form with a pen, standing for enquiries and admissions

Enquiries and admissions

Log every enquiry from the website, phone or walk-in, assign it to an admissions officer and follow it through trial lessons to enrolment, with conversion reported by source.

Two students, standing for student and parent profiles

Student and parent profiles

One record per student holds parents and guardians, contact details, documents, classes, results and fees, with siblings linked for family discounts and messages.

Teacher at a board with students, standing for programmes and classes

Programmes, courses and classes

Set up programmes, courses, classes, subjects and levels with their own terms, class sizes and dates, and the system stops enrolment once a class is full.

Clipboard with a tick list, standing for attendance tracking

Attendance tracking

Teachers mark the register on a tablet or phone, absences reach the office straight away, and parents book make-up classes into any class with a free seat.

Exam paper and pencil, standing for exam schedules and results

Exam schedules and results

Build the exam calendar and candidate lists, record, grade and moderate the marks, and release results privately to each family, with every paper kept by class, subject and term.

Calculator and invoice, standing for fees and billing

Fees, billing and payments

Invoices are raised from each enrolment with sibling and early bird discounts applied, reminders go out by email and WhatsApp, and parents pay by PayNow or card in the portal.

Student records and portal

Student Management System and parent portal

Each student's record, from first enquiry to final certificate, works as student information management software and feeds the portal.

  • Results, attendance, invoices and learning materials in the student and parent portal
  • Make-up class requests approved in the portal rather than by email
  • Full history kept when a student changes class, level or branch
  • Access by role, with every change to a record logged against a named user
  • AI features can score and assign enquiries, and answer routine parent questions

Exams and progress

Exam, results and student progress management

Results, progress and report books come from the same marks teachers enter, so nothing is retyped.

Exam schedules and results
Papers, candidates and weightings set once per term, with marks moderated and locked before results reach each family.
Course progress tracking
Every lesson recorded against the syllabus with the material used, homework set and marks given, so any teacher can see where a class is.
Student performance tracking
Marks and attendance side by side across terms, with early alerts for students whose scores or attendance are slipping.
Report books
Generated from your own template with marks, grades, attendance and the form teacher's comment, then released in the portal.

Questions

School Management System FAQs

The best School Management Software is the one that fits how your school runs admissions, timetables, fees and reporting. A packaged platform suits standard processes, and a custom build fits when your rules keep breaking that standard.

A School Management System runs the school: admissions, classes, attendance, exams, fees and the parent portal. A Learning Management System runs the lessons: materials, homework and online classes. Ours can include both on one student record.

Cost depends on scope: the modules in the first phase, the data to migrate and the systems to connect. We quote after a scoping session and price each phase separately. Call 6581 3431 to discuss yours.

It depends on the first phase. A release covering enrolment, classes and attendance goes live sooner than a full build with billing and portals, and we give you a schedule once the scope is agreed.

We import them for you. We map your spreadsheets or old system to the new structure, run a test import for you to check, then load the final data on a cut-off date you agree.

Our solutions are eligible for government grants. We explain how the schemes apply to your project and what the agency looks for, so you can budget with the full picture in front of you.

The system connects to Xero, QuickBooks and other accounting software, so invoices, credit notes and payments sync without retyping. Payment gateways depend on your provider; tell us which one and we will confirm the connection.

AI features can be added, each scoped with you and built in its own phase on your own records. They cover enquiries on WhatsApp and email, marking, progress reports, document reading, data questions and forecasts, all checked by staff.

The system supports your PDPA obligations through permissions, activity logs, consent records and access controls. Staff see only what their role allows and every change is logged, while your own policies and training do the rest.

One system runs every branch. Classes, staff, students and fees are recorded per location, with reports per centre or across the group, and each branch manager sees only their own centre.
