When the northeast monsoon arrives

From October to December, heavy rain and cyclones can shut Chennai's schools with only a few hours' notice. One broadcast tells every parent, teacher and student instantly, and the holiday calendar keeps attendance and timetables in sync — so no one is marked absent on a closed day.

Academic rigour with less paperwork

Teachers enter marks once, admins approve them, and results publish in one click with a PDF report card for every student. Timed online MCQ tests — with tab-switch logging and auto-submit — give students regular practice with instant results.

New schools along OMR

The IT corridor's growth has brought new schools and new branches to Sholinganallur, Perungudi and beyond. Aksharum scales from one campus to many without changing software, with every school's data kept in its own isolated environment.
