Why schools switch to SAMS

The problems we hear from owners, principals and finance managers — and what SAMS does about them.

Fees collected on time

Invoice a whole grade in one click. Reminders go out by themselves, and parents pay online with your own PayTabs or HyperPay account.

Parents stop calling the office

The parent portal shows attendance, fees, report cards and notices, in Arabic, on any phone.

One system, clear roles

Replace the spreadsheets and the one person who understands them. Every user gets only the access their job needs, with an audit trail.

Report cards in a day, not a week

Teachers enter marks per class. Results, ranks and printable cards follow, and are released to the portal when you decide.

Everything a school does, in one place

Built with a working school, module by module.

Fees & finance

Know who has paid, and who has not

Fee plans, installments, discounts, scholarships, receipts and refunds. Tax and currency on every document, and international programmes priced in US dollars. Bring last year’s balances in from Excel, and give your external auditor their own access.

  • Invoices for a grade in one click
  • Installments, sibling discounts and scholarships
  • Online payment from the parent portal
  • An auditor login with statements and the year-end file

Timetable & attendance

A timetable that respects real constraints

Build class and teacher timetables, spot clashes at once, and take attendance in seconds. Parents hear about an absence the same morning.

  • Clash detection for teachers and rooms
  • Attendance per class or per period
  • Absence alerts by email and SMS
  • Printable timetables for every class and teacher

Grades & report cards

Marks in, report cards out

Teachers enter marks per class, or fill them from an Excel sheet. SAMS works out totals, ranks and grades for each programme’s scale, prints the report cards, and releases them to families when you say so.

  • Ministry, British, IB and American scales
  • Marks from Excel in one step
  • Online quizzes, marked at once
  • Year-end promotion and re-enrolment

  • Online application form for your school
  • Fee offer with uniform and book catalogue
  • Families accept and sign online

Your data, hosted the way you need

One product, two ways to run it. Same features, same releases.

SAMS Cloud

We host it for you

  • Ready in minutes, nothing to install
  • Backups, updates and security handled
  • Pay per student, per year
  • Best for most schools
SAMS Self-hosted

Run it on your own server

  • Your data never leaves your building
  • For ministry rules, group IT and slow links
  • One-line installer, signed licence key
  • Same releases as the cloud

Built to protect student data

Schools hold children’s records. SAMS treats them that way.

Roles per person and campus

Each person sees only what their job needs. Teachers can be kept to their own classes, and an auditor’s access ends on the date you set.

Two-step sign-in and audit log

Require a phone code for owners, finance and HR, or for all staff. Every change is logged, and nothing in the log can be edited or deleted.

Data protection, PDPL-ready

Export everything a school stored, and erase it for good when a school leaves. Data-processing terms included.

Backups we test

HTTPS everywhere, daily backups, and a weekly test restore that proves they work. Or keep it all on your own server.

Simple pricing, per student

Pay for enrolled students. Teachers, staff, parents and student logins cost nothing extra.

Where should it run?

Questions, answered

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 30 days with every module included, and no card needed. We remind you 7 days and 1 day before it ends.

How do we pay for SAMS?

After the trial, choose a plan in Settings → Subscription and pay by card, or ask for an invoice and pay by bank transfer. Yearly billing is the default; monthly costs 20% more.

Do teachers and parents cost extra?

No. Staff accounts and the parent portal are included. You pay only for enrolled students, with a minimum per plan.

Is there a phone app?

Yes. Parents and teachers install SAMS on Android or iPhone straight from the browser, with no app store, and get instant notifications for free.

Does SAMS send WhatsApp messages?

Yes. Absence, fee and announcement notices go out on WhatsApp from the official SAMS number. Your school sets nothing up; it only buys a message pack.

Is it really in Arabic?

Yes. The whole app, the parent portal, printed documents and emails work in Arabic with right-to-left layout, and switch to English in one click.

Can we host it ourselves?

Yes. SAMS Self-hosted runs on your own Linux server with Docker, installed with one command. Your licence key is checked offline, so it keeps working without an internet link.

Can we move our existing data in?

Yes. Import students, families and staff from spreadsheets, and we can do the setup for you with the onboarding package.

What happens if we stop paying?

You get 14 grace days with everything working, then 60 days where you can view and export your data but not change it. You can export everything at any time.

Can parents pay fees online?

Yes, through your own PayTabs or HyperPay account, so money goes straight to your school.

Do you support international programmes?

Yes. Run the national curriculum next to British, IB, American or French programmes, each with its own grading scale, fees and report cards. A programme can be priced in US dollars; your books stay in your own currency.

Can students have their own login?

Yes. Turn it on for any student: they see their timetable, homework, quizzes, exams and report cards — never fees or anyone else’s records. Student logins are free.

Can our external auditor get access?

Yes. Give them the Auditor role with an end date: they read the books, approve, and download the year-end file, and their access stops by itself.
