What your school gets, surface by surface
No vague promises — here is exactly what each part of SchoolConnect does for your office staff, your teachers and the families you serve.
Your website
A school website that earns trust in seconds
Most families form an opinion of your school within seconds of opening its website. SchoolConnect gives every school a polished, fast, mobile-first website at its own address — no designers, no hosting bills, no waiting on a developer to change a line of text.
- Your own web address (yourname.schoolconnect.ng) with a real-time availability checker
- Hero sections, mission/vision, facilities showcase, leadership team rail and photo galleries
- Programs, classes and events pages rendered straight from your console edits
- Blog with a modern rich text editor — announcements, stories and press releases
- Custom SEO controls per page: titles, descriptions and keywords for search visibility
- Light and dark mode, fast image pipelines and print-friendly pages for prospectuses
Online admissions
Admissions that run themselves
Replace paper forms and chat-app voice notes with a structured pipeline: families apply online, choose programs, pay application fees and track their status — while your team reviews everything from one screen.
- Per-program application forms with the fields you choose
- Secure application fee payments through the in-page checkout
- Application tracking pages for families — no more 'did you get my form?' calls
- Review, accept, waitlist or decline with saved response templates
- Application profiles — a family's details auto-fill for siblings
- Every step audited: who reviewed what, when, and what changed
Results & academics
Results checking families actually enjoy
Publishing term results should take minutes, not queues at the school office. Upload results with checker codes and every student sees exactly their own sheet — on any phone.
- Bulk result upload per class, term and session
- Unique checker codes per student — results stay private
- Downloadable result sheets with the school's branding
- Class and program directories that feed the website automatically
- Student records with guardian links for the parent area
Payments & billing
Money flows you never have to chase
Application fees, school fees and subscriptions all run through BirrPay's secure inline checkout — the school never handles card numbers, and every payment writes its own receipt.
- Inline checkout — families pay without leaving the page they were on
- Cards, bank transfer and USSD through the built-in payment gateway
- Automatic payment records, invoices and billing history per school
- Subscription management with renewal periods and coupon support
- Real-time currency conversion — see the price in your currency before paying
AI assistant
An assistant that answers while you sleep
Parents ask the same twenty questions at 11pm. The AI assistant answers them instantly, in your voice, using your school's own content — and hands the tricky ones to your staff with full context.
- Trained on your school's pages, FAQs, programs and events
- Replies to admission enquiries, fees, opening hours and directions 24/7
- Escalates sensitive conversations to the school inbox with the full transcript
- Agentic helpers for your team: content drafting, SEO suggestions and summaries
- Available on the school website, the enquiry flow and the admin console
Communications
One inbox, every conversation
Enquiries from the website, application questions and newsletter signups all land in one place — with replies, statuses and response times your team can actually manage.
- Enquiry inbox with categories, assignment and reply templates
- Newsletter capture on the school website with subscriber management
- Announcements broadcast to your whole community
- Email notifications for applications, payments and results
Insights
Decisions backed by numbers
Know which programs attract the most interest, when enquiries peak and how applications convert — without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.
- Website traffic and section engagement per school
- Application funnel views: started, submitted, accepted
- Enquiry volume and response-time tracking
- Revenue views for school fees and application fees
Security & trust
Hardened where it matters
Schools carry families' personal data — the platform treats that responsibility seriously across every console, cookie and payment.
- HMAC-signed sessions with role-based access for every user type
- Server-side re-validation of payments, coupons and plan availability
- Paste sanitization and escaped rendering everywhere content renders
- Encrypted payment details handled entirely by the payment provider — never stored by the platform
