For music, dance and art academies, and every class-based business

Every class-based business gets its own software.

An admin panel, a teacher app, a parent and student app, and a website, set up in minutes and changed by asking. Enrolment, renewals, fees and WhatsApp messages to parents are built in. No hosting, coding, deployment or technology choices to worry about: we run all of it.

Setting up takes a few minutes: answer a few questions and, if you have them, upload your teachers and students lists. The demo academy needs no sign-up; it has made-up students and staff you can click around as the owner, a teacher or a parent.

Everything an academy runs on, in one place

One set of data behind everything, so a batch changed in the admin panel is the batch on the website and in every parent's app.

Enquiries and demo classes

Leads from ads, WhatsApp, calls and walk-ins in one list, each followed through to a demo class and an enrolment.

Enrolment and renewals

Packages by sessions or weeks, renewals when a term runs out, and a clear record of who has paid for what.

Fees

Fees due this week, part payments and reminders, by branch. Online fee collection is being added.

Attendance and class notes

Teachers mark attendance on their phones and leave a note after each class. Parents see it the same day.

WhatsApp messages to parents

Reminders and updates drafted in the parent's language, sent with a tap from the academy's own WhatsApp.

Homework, resources and progress

Homework set and reviewed, practice material, and a monthly progress update for every student.

Your own software, not one size for everyone

Change it by asking

No two academies run the same way: sessions or weeks, levels, branches, exam boards, their own renewal rules. Off-the-shelf software forces one shape on everyone, and custom software needs a team. With AcademyOS the owner says what they need in their own words, sees exactly what will change, and confirms. Every change can be undone.

"Piano classes are now on Tuesday and Thursday, 5 to 6 pm."
Change Piano timings from "Sat & Sun, 10 AM" to "Tue & Thu, 5 to 6 PM" on the website and course page. Apply?
"Yes."
Done. Logged, and it can be undone.

Up and running in minutes, with nothing technical to manage

We run the hosting, security, updates, logins and app delivery. The owner never chooses a technology or talks to a developer.

Answer a few questions

Your Google Maps listing, the courses you teach, the exam boards you prepare for, and, if you have them, your teachers and students lists from Excel or a Google Sheet.

Get your apps and website

Your admin panel, teacher and parent apps and website are ready at their own addresses, already filled in with your courses, people and timings.

Check, publish, and ask for changes

Your website waits for your review before Google sees it. After that, anything you want different, you ask for.

It runs a real academy

Built inside KaushikDhwanee

AcademyOS started as the software for KaushikDhwanee, a music, dance and art academy in Hyderabad running since 2012. Admissions, attendance, fees, the parent app and the website all run on it every day. Now any academy can have the same, without building it.
