FAQ
Questions schools ask us
Which schools can use Pearl Schools?
Nursery, primary, secondary and combined schools, day or boarding. Classes, subjects and fee options follow the school type, so a primary school never sees secondary-only choices.
Does it follow the Ugandan curriculum and grading?
Yes. Primary uses D1 to F9. O-Level uses A to E with 20% continuous assessment and 80% exam, with the official grade descriptors on report cards. Nursery uses competency-based assessment with no exam marks. A school can also choose the Cambridge International curriculum.
Is each school’s data kept separate?
Yes. Every school’s records are isolated from every other school’s. Staff only see their own school and parents only see their own children. Passwords are stored hashed, repeated failed sign-ins are blocked, and uploaded files are private.
How do parents get access?
The school creates a parent login from the Parents page and hands over a temporary password, which the parent can change. Parents then see attendance, conduct, report cards, daily progress and lessons for their own children.
Can we bring in our existing records?
Student, parent and staff lists can be imported from CSV files. There is a template to download, and every row is checked before anything is saved.
How do SMS and email messages work?
Messages are sent through Africa’s Talking (SMS and WhatsApp) and Brevo (email) once your school is set up. You choose who receives each message, and automatic absence alerts are optional.
Is the AI optional?
Yes. AI drafts practice questions and answers learners’ questions in Learn, but teachers review every drafted question before it is saved, and a school can run the system without using any AI features.
Does it work on a phone?
It opens in any modern browser. The layout is designed for laptops and desktops today, and we are improving it for phones.
How do we get started, and what does it cost?
Send a demo request below. We reply within two working days, set up your school with its classes and subjects, and discuss pricing for your size.
