Today, there are more types
of schools serving more students than ever before.
Schools need to manage a wider array of more complex
data, while still maintaining a close and comfortable
atmosphere that parents and students crave. That
is why more and more schools are relying on Spiral
Software Systems to help them manage their data.
Our strategy remains constant as we continue to serve
the market of schools that benefit most from the
value and services we provide.
Private/Independent Schools
Independent Schools are distinct from other types
of private schools in that they are independently
governed by a board of trustees and do not depend
on church funds as Parochial Schools do. Though they
may be religious in nature, they are not always.
Independent Schools often place tremendous weight
on organization and balanced education and Spiral
Systems has always been there to provide the essential
tools and necessary resources for independent schools
to manage their data and information.
Religious/Parochial Schools
Religiously affiliated or denominational schools
form a distinct category of private schools. Such
schools offer religious coursework as
well as general
studies courses. There is no limit to the number
of religions served in this manner, nor is there
a limit to the ways in which Spiral Systems may serve
religious schools. Along with providing all our timesaving
features, we tailor our system to meet the unique
needs of religious schools, and provide a system
that differentiates between their religious and secular
studies. Our system can be customized to accommodate
multiple languages so instruction, and grading can
take place in French, Greek, Russian, Latin, Arabic,
Hebrew, Spanish, etc.
Charter Schools
Charter schools are semi-autonomous nonsectarian
public schools that operate with freedom from many
of the regulations that apply to traditional
state
schools. In return for this freedom, charter schools
have increased accountability from their sponsor;
a local school board, state education agency, university,
or other entity - to produce positive academic results.
Spiral Systems is there every step of the way helping
Charter Schools measure academic progress and increasing
accountability for students as well as faculty.
Boarding Schools
Boarding schools are sometimes referred to as "intentional
communities" because the faculty and staff at
boarding schools work very hard to create an environment
for students, which is safe, academically challenging,
active, and fun. Spiral Systems facilitates this
process in many ways including chat functions that
allow for a community atmosphere as well as a way
to interact with parents who are often far away.
Boarding schools are well known for their academic
excellence. With small class sizes, diverse curricula,
and individual attention from teachers and advisors,
the boarding school experience is apt to take advantage
of a School Information System, which prides itself
on a proactive approach to learning. |
