Join the Scholaya Team

We're building the operating system for modern schools — one connected platform that unifies admissions, the student information system, timetabling, attendance, the gradebook, report cards, fees and finance, and school-wide communication. Arabic-first, bilingual by default, and white-label for every school.

Scholaya team

Transform How Schools Run

At Scholaya, we are building the operating system for modern schools. Today most schools run on a patchwork of five to ten disconnected tools — one system for admissions, another for the gradebook, a separate app for fees, yet another for parent communication. We bring all of it into one connected platform where admissions, the student information system, timetabling, attendance, report cards, finance, HR, and communication share the same records.

We build for education, seriously. Our platform is Arabic-first and bilingual by default, white-label for every school, and trusted with a school's daily operations — from the first inquiry to alumni. Scholaya went live first at Bedayia International School, and we are expanding to more K–12 international and private schools across the region.

We are a team of engineers, product and design people, education specialists, and customer success partners who care deeply about the people on the other side of the screen — school leaders, registrars, teachers, parents, and students. If you want to build software that helps a whole school move as one, Scholaya is the place.
