Batches, courses and instalments, run the way a coaching centre works

Students join mid-course, pay in instalments and attend sessions rather than school years. Scolvia is set up around that, not around a timetable built for a school.

Why school software rarely fits an academy

An academy does not have a class seven. It has the evening physics batch that started in March, the weekend test-preparation course with thirty seats, and the student who joined both halfway through and is paying in three instalments.

School software expects a fixed year, a fixed class and a fixed fee. Bend it to fit and the attendance report counts sessions that never happened, the fee report shows balances that are not due yet, and enquiries live in a notebook because there is no admissions season to put them in.

Scolvia lets an academy work in batches and courses. Enquiries are tracked to enrolment, fees follow the course and its instalments, and attendance is marked per session for the batch that actually met.

What it handles

What a batch-based institution needs, and nothing it does not.

Enquiries to enrolment

Every walk-in, call and form tracked until the student joins or the lead goes cold.

Batches and courses

Batches with their own start dates, capacity and teacher, not fixed class years.

Session attendance

Marked for each session the batch actually held, visible to students and parents.

Course fees and instalments

Fees per course with instalment plans and discounts, and a clear view of what is due.

Tests and results

Regular tests, marks entry and progress over the length of a course.

Material and online classes

Notes, assignments and quizzes, with live classes on your meeting provider.

Messages and notices

Batch announcements, schedule changes and fee reminders.

Teachers and payroll

Teacher records and the monthly salary run.

Books and materials sales

Sell course books and materials at the counter, with stock behind it.

The cases most systems get wrong for academies

The student who joins in week four. They owe a part-course fee, they missed three sessions that should not count against them, and the teacher needs them on the attendance list from today. A year-based system gets at least one of those wrong.

The same student in two batches. Mathematics on weekday evenings, a test-preparation course at weekends. Two attendance records, two fee plans, one person and one contact for the parent.

The instalment that is not overdue yet. A fee report that treats the whole course fee as outstanding from day one makes every student look like a defaulter and hides the ones who really are.

The enquiry that comes back in three months. They asked about the summer course, did not join, and called again in the autumn. With the first enquiry on record, the conversation picks up where it stopped.

Who sees what

Small team or several branches, each person sees what they need.

Administration

Owner and front desk: enquiries, batches, fees, teachers and reports.

Staff

Teachers: their batches, session attendance, tests and material.

Students

Students: schedule, attendance, material, tests and fees.

Families

Parents: attendance, test results and fees for each child enrolled.

How an academy is set up

Setup is quick because the structure is simple: the courses you run, the batches within each, their fees and instalment plans. Current students and open enquiries come across from your existing lists.

Most academies go live with enquiries, batches, attendance and fees in the first week. Tests, online material and live classes follow as teachers start using the staff portal.

If you run several branches, each one operates on its own while the owner sees all of them together. Payment and SMS options depend on your country, and we confirm them before you commit.

Questions academy owners ask

Can students join a batch after it has started?
Yes. A student can be enrolled into a running batch from any date, with fees and attendance starting from when they actually joined.
Can one student be in more than one batch?
Yes. Each enrolment has its own attendance and fee plan, while the student and their parent contact stay as one record.
Do you support instalment plans?
Yes. Course fees can be split into instalments with their own due dates, so reports show what is genuinely overdue rather than the whole course fee.
Is it too much for a small academy?
You switch on only the modules you use. Many academies run enquiries, batches, attendance and fees and never touch the rest.
Can we run online classes?
Yes. Material, assignments and quizzes sit in the LMS, and live classes run on the meeting provider you connect.
