School management software for ICSE & ISC schools
Configurable to ICSE's percentage grading and internal-assessment weightings, with ISC subject groupings for Class 11 and 12 built in.
ICSE schools live in the details. Internal assessments contribute a specific percentage to the final grade per subject. Practical exams count separately from theory in the sciences. ISC adds optional subject groupings at Class 11 — pick the wrong combination and a student can't graduate. The software a school chooses needs to handle this without a custom template fight every term. Schoolar is configured for ICSE and ISC out of the box.
Internal + external weighting per subject
ICSE's prescribed split between external (board) marks and internal assessment varies by subject. Mathematics has no internal; English Lit and Lang have specific internal weights; the sciences split practicals from theory. Schoolar's marks module captures each component independently and rolls them up using the weighting you configure per subject. The same logic powers term-by-term progression and final grade calculation.
Percentage grading with grade-letter overlay
ICSE uses percentages on the report card with a grade letter overlay (A, B, C, D). Schoolar's grading engine generates both — the actual percentage as the source of truth, and the grade letter computed from configurable percentage bands. Switch grading bands without re-entering marks.
ISC subject groupings (Class 11 and 12)
ISC students choose a stream — Science (with PCM, PCB, PCMB combinations), Commerce, or Humanities — and electives within. Schoolar models this as configurable subject groups per class. When a student is enrolled, the system validates that their subject selection is a valid ISC combination. Mid-year stream changes are tracked in the student's audit log.
Practical exams and project work
Schedule practical exams alongside theory papers in the exam module. Project work (often a 20-mark internal in ISC) is captured per student with the option to attach evidence files (PDFs, images). Final evaluation rolls into the report card automatically.
Hall tickets, seating, and invigilation
Generate ICSE-style hall tickets in bulk for school-internal exams with QR-verifiable codes. Seating arrangement plans and invigilation schedules are produced as exportable PDFs. ICSE/ISC board hall tickets are issued by CISCE; Schoolar covers everything the school owns.
Communication that ICSE parents expect
ICSE parent communities tend to be highly engaged. Schoolar's WhatsApp Business and email integrations push fee reminders, exam schedules, report card links, and PTM invitations directly to parents — with two-way replies routed to the right teacher or admin staff inbox.
Frequently asked questions
Does Schoolar support ICSE and ISC report card formats?
Yes. ICSE schools use percentage-based grading with internal assessment weightings, and ISC adds higher-secondary subject groupings. Schoolar's report card templates support both, with configurable weighting between externals and internals.
Can ICSE internal assessments be tracked separately from external?
Yes. The marks module captures internal assessment (project work, practicals, classwork) separately and combines it with external/term scores per ICSE's prescribed weightings. This is configurable per subject.
Does it handle ISC subject groups for Class 11 and 12?
Yes. ISC's optional subject groupings (Science, Commerce, Humanities, with electives) can be configured per student. Subject combinations are validated so you don't accidentally enroll a student in an invalid combination.
