The 24/7 Challenge
Boarding schools manage students around the clock: academics during the day, residence life at night, meals in between, healthcare always.
Unique Requirements
Beyond standard school management:
- Dormitory assignments and management
- Meal planning and dietary requirements
- Night-time check-ins and curfews
- Weekend activity scheduling
- Laundry and facilities management
- Sick bay operations
- Leave permissions and tracking
- Parent weekend visit coordination
The Complexity Multiplier
One student generates:
- Academic records (standard)
- Residence records (boarding-specific)
- Medical records (enhanced importance)
- Behavior tracking (24-hour context)
- Financial records (accommodation, meals, extras)
- Communication needs (parents often distant)
System Requirements
Effective boarding school management needs:
- Integrated academic and residential data
- 24/7 staff access from dormitories
- Emergency information immediately available
- Parent communication across time zones
- Permissions and approvals workflow
- Comprehensive safety and wellbeing tracking
Boarding schools aren't just extended-hours day schools. They need purpose-built solutions.
