What is VidyaSchool?
VidyaSchool is an integrated school management system designed to digitize every aspect of academic operations — from student enrollment and fee collection, to mark submission and library management. The platform is role-based, meaning each user type (student, teacher, accounts clerk, administrator) sees a personalized portal with tools relevant to their role.
Core Modules
The platform is built around six core modules: • Authentication & Onboarding — Secure multi-role login, email verification, and step-by-step profile setup. • Academic Records — Teacher grade submission, student report cards, weighted GPA calculations, and performance tracking. • Fee Management — Itemized fee ledgers, online Razorpay payments, PDF receipt downloads, and waiver tracking. • Library System — Digital catalog, book issuance tracking, return deadlines, and fine accumulation. • Communication Hub — Class-level notice boards, circulars, announcements, and direct messaging. • Complaint & Support Desk — Structured ticket submission, routing to appropriate staff, and reference tracking.
Portal Access URLs
Each role has a dedicated dashboard path: • Students: /student/[username] — Academic dashboard with marks, fees, notices, and library access. • Teachers: /teacher/[username] — Classroom workspace with grade entry, notice publishing, and roster management. • Accounts Clerks: /accounts/[username] — Fee management, ledger administration, and payment tracking. • Administrators: /admin/[username] — Full system control including user management, approvals, and reports.
Technology & Security
VidyaSchool is built on Next.js 16 with server-side rendering for fast, SEO-friendly pages. Authentication is powered by BetterAuth with JWT sessions and optional OAuth (Google/GitHub). All data is stored in a PostgreSQL database via Neon serverless with Drizzle ORM. The platform supports Progressive Web App (PWA) installation for mobile access, and all API endpoints are protected by role-based access control (RBAC) middleware.
