Getting Started

Set up your school on School Orbit in just a few steps. This section covers everything you need to do before adding students and staff.

What you'll set up

This section covers the foundation your school needs before you add students and staff. You will create your account, add your school details, open the current academic year, and build out classes, sections and subjects. Work through the guides in order — each one takes only a few minutes. When you finish, you can add employees and students without missing anything.

Before you begin

Keep these ready: an email address, a phone number, and a simple list of your school's classes and subjects. The person who signs up becomes the Super Admin — the main owner of the school account.
