Grades and schools
Skolex is a cloud-based school management system with a built-in LMS for schools from KG through Grade 12. It runs lessons, quizzes, gradebook, attendance, fees, report cards and parent communication in one platform, with report cards and announcements in English and Urdu, for schools in Pakistan, the Gulf and worldwide. Schools can start with a free 30-day trial; the School plan is USD 200/month for up to 200 students, and the Network plan for school groups is priced on request.
Skolex covers KG through Grade 12: KG and early years, primary, middle and secondary, in one system. A student's attendance, marks and report cards stay in the same account as they move up through the school.
Private KG–12 schools and school chains in Pakistan, the Gulf (the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain) and other countries. Single schools use the School plan; groups with several branches use the Network plan.
Yes. Skolex is cloud-based and runs in a web browser, so a school in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait or Bahrain uses it the same way as a school in Pakistan. It covers KG through Grade 12, prices are in US dollars, and English and Urdu report cards suit English-medium and Pakistani-curriculum community schools. Support hours are 8am to 5pm UAE time and 7am to 4pm Saudi time, Monday to Friday.
Our 2026 buyer's guides compare Skolex with Fedena, Teachmint, QuickSchools, Schooliee, MjFour and SIMSIN on grades, pricing, languages, parent app and trial, using each vendor's public pages with the date we checked them. See the guides for Pakistan and for UAE and Saudi schools on the Skolex blog.
Yes. The Network plan covers unlimited schools and students from a single dashboard, with shared reporting and branch-level permissions. Pricing for the Network plan is custom; contact us with the number of branches and students.
Setup, migration and training
Creating your account takes a few minutes. Add your classes and teachers and you can start building lessons and taking attendance the same day.
Yes. You can bulk-import students, teachers and classes from a spreadsheet. If your records are on paper, type them into a spreadsheet first and import it in one go. On the School and Network plans our onboarding team can help migrate data from your existing system.
Every plan includes onboarding documentation and video guides. The School and Network plans also include live training sessions for your teaching staff.
No. Skolex runs in any web browser on a computer or phone. Parents can also add the Skolex parent app to their phone's home screen straight from the browser; it is a web app, so there is nothing to download from an app store.
Data and security
School data is hosted on a VPS (virtual private server) based in the United States. Our security page explains how access to it is controlled.
Only your school's staff and the parents and students you invite. Students and parents see their own records, not other families'.
If you don't upgrade within the 30-day trial, your account is locked but your school's data is kept, so you can pick up where you left off when you upgrade.
Languages
Yes, where parents read it most: announcements can go out in English and Urdu, and report cards can be generated from multilingual PDF templates that include Urdu. The website itself is in English.
Pricing, trial and billing
The School plan is USD 200 a month for up to 200 students. The Network plan, for school chains, has custom pricing. All prices are in US dollars.
There is a free 30-day trial for up to 50 students, with no card needed to start. It is a trial, not a free-forever plan. Fee management, video lessons and live classes are part of the School plan.
Yes, 10% off: the School plan costs USD 180 a month when billed yearly, which is USD 2,160 a year.
No. Parent and student access is included in your school's subscription, with no per-parent or per-student add-on fees.
Fee management tracks dues and issues receipts. Collecting fees online through a payment gateway is available on request; contact us to discuss it for your school.
Yes. Cancel from your billing settings; there are no cancellation fees or lock-in contracts.
