Platform Features

Everything your school needs — in one platform

No modules to bolt on. No extra charges per feature. Every school gets the complete school management platform.

📋

Online Enrolment Wizard

A 7-step public form that collects child details, parent information, medical records, emergency contacts, contract signatures, and document uploads — all before the parent sets foot in the office.

🎒

Learner Management

Full learner profiles with automatic student number generation, grade and class assignment, document storage, and a complete enrolment history from application to graduation.

✏️

Mark Capture & CAPS Levels

Structured marksheets for classwork, tests, assignments, and exams. Percentages and achievement levels (A–G for CAPS/IEB; A*–U for Cambridge) calculate instantly as you type.

📄

Report Cards

Auto-generated branded report cards with aggregate, class rank, attendance, teacher comments, principal comments, conduct rating, and POPIA-compliant promotion/retention status.

📅

Daily Attendance Register

Mark every learner present, absent, late, or excused with an optional note. Bulk "mark all present" for quick capture. Term summaries with percentage attendance tracking.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parent Portal

Secure parent login to view marks, published report cards, daily attendance, and their child's details. Installable as a mobile app on Android and iPhone with no app store required.

👩‍🏫

Educator Register

Full staff register with subject and grade assignments. Drives the timetable builder — add a period and the educator dropdown only shows teachers assigned to that subject.

📋

Timetable Builder

Visual grid timetable (Mon–Fri × periods) for each class and year. Add start/end times, rooms, subjects, and educators. Copy an entire timetable to the next year in one click.

📥

Bulk Import (CSV / Excel)

Import entire year groups from Excel or CSV — useful for school transfers or new intakes. Row-level validation with a preview table before anything is committed to the database.

🎯

Grade Promotion Tool

At end of year, one click promotes all learners whose Term 4 report card shows Promoted = Yes to the next grade. Individual promotion with class assignment also available.

🗄️

POPIA Records & Retention

A consent register, a tracker for parents' data requests, a security-incident log, and a retention policy that keeps leaver records for 5 years after the learner leaves, then lets you permanently erase them. Every change is audit-logged.

📈

Excel Report Writer

Export any combination of learner fields — contact lists, fee registers, class lists — to Excel with one click. Filter by grade, class, status, or date range.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Scholivra a white-label system — will parents see Scholivra branding? +
Yes, for every school. Parents only ever see your school's name, logo and colours. You can also hide the "Powered by Scholivra" line on the parent portal from your branding settings.
Which curricula does Scholivra support? +
CAPS is included for every school. If you follow IEB or Cambridge International (IGCSE/A-Level), tell us when you sign up and we will set up the right subject list, grading scale and report card format for you.
Is my school's data safe and POPIA compliant? +
Yes. All data is hosted on servers in South Africa. Learner records are protected with HTTPS encryption. Records of learners who leave are kept for 5 years after they leave the school, and can then be permanently erased from within the system. Consent, data requests and security incidents are tracked in a built-in POPIA register. Each school's data is in a fully isolated database — School A cannot ever see School B's data.
Can parents install Scholivra on their phone? +
Yes. The parent portal is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that installs directly from the browser — no App Store or Google Play needed. On Android, they tap "Add to Home Screen" in Chrome. On iPhone, they tap the Share button in Safari and then "Add to Home Screen". Once installed, it looks and behaves exactly like a native app.
What payment methods do you accept? +
All billing is in South African Rand, monthly or annually, through our secure payment partner. Monthly subscriptions are charged to your card each month; you can also pay by invoice/EFT. Annual billing is a single payment for 12 months at about 17% less than paying monthly.
Do I need a developer to set up Scholivra? +
No. Scholivra is a fully hosted SaaS platform — there is nothing to install. You just need a web browser. After signup, you configure everything through the Admin Settings panel: school name, logo, SMTP email, grades, subjects, classes, and staff. Most school administrators complete the full setup in under 90 minutes.
Can I change my billing later? +
There are no plans to switch between: every school gets everything. You pay a small platform fee plus a rate for each active learner, and the learner count is taken on your invoice date, so your bill follows your school as it grows or shrinks. To move between monthly and annual billing, contact support.
