Client Overview

A prominent K-12 school in Dubai, catering to over 3,000 students, had been facing operational inefficiencies due to the use of multiple disjointed applications across admissions, academic and administrative departments. Each department—from Registrar to Academic to Library to Medical to Finance—relied on its own software, resulting in data silos, duplicated efforts, and rising operational costs.

Challenges Faced

Before adopting M School, the school was using:

• A standalone library management system for their multiple libraries with separate licence for each library.
• A separate software for medical records.
• Independent platforms for Finance, SEN (Special Educational Needs), and Transportation.
• Manual processes in the canteen with no cashless payment option.

This fragmented system led to:

• Increased costs in licensing, support, and integration
• Data inconsistencies and reporting delays
• Time wasted on repetitive administrative tasks
• Poor user experience for parents, students, and staff

Solution: Implementing M School

To address these issues, the school adopted M School, an end-to-end School Management System offering a unified platform for both academic and back-office functions.

• Academic Modules: Attendance, Timetable, Assessments, Homework, Report Cards
