For the people who shape the first years of learning.

Questions institutions ask
Can we use Schoolage if we also run a school?
Yes — Schoolage is one connected ecosystem, so early-years and school sections can share families and records. Talk to us about your setup.
How is our data handled?
Student and financial data is encrypted at rest and backed up regularly, access is role-based, and hosting is configured to match the data-residency requirements of your institution or board. Final security architecture is confirmed with your IT team before go-live.
Will our teachers and staff receive training?
Yes. Training is role-specific — a front-desk admissions officer learns what they need, not the whole system. Most staff are comfortable within their first week of daily use.
