Other tools run a gradebook. YESS runs the whole academic life of your school — from the paper application to the cumulative transcript. Years and terms. Programs and classes. Subjects, electives, IB groups, GCE paper combinations. Timetables that solve themselves. Gradebooks that lock when they should and re-open with a justification when they must.
8 signature capabilities
Term-shape painter
Drag the boundaries of your year on a visual timeline. 3-term, 2-semester, polytechnic-block — paint it, save it, done.
Any grading system, all coexisting
GCE 0-20 + IB 1-7 + GPA 0-4.0 + French Bac mention + your own invented scale, all live in the same school. Per-section assignment, automatic conversion on report cards.
Constraint-satisfaction timetable
Tell it every teacher, room, hour limit, day off, multi-campus travel time. Click Solve. 90 seconds to a clash-free week.
Gradebook with audit + HOD approval
Submission locks. Edits require a written justification and HOD review. Every change is logged immutably.
IB DP picker with HL/SL validation
Students cannot accidentally pick four HLs or skip Group 6. The platform enforces IB rules at the moment of choosing.
Multi-program, multi-campus, multi-teacher
GCE + Bac + IB + HND in the same school, with shared staff and per-program report card templates. Subjects can have multiple teachers; the logbook splits cleanly.
Personalised report cards in the parent's language
Six template families. Auto-translation via local-first pipeline ($0 API cost). When a student's electives diverge from the section, a 'Personalised by elective' banner explains it.
Cumulative transcript with QR verification
University-ready, signed PDF, QR points to a verification URL that confirms authenticity. Frozen on graduation.
Real-world use case
“A 26-class school used to spend the first three weeks of every academic year locked in a meeting room with three HODs, two principals, and a giant whiteboard. With YESS, they declare every constraint on a Saturday afternoon, click Solve, get a candidate timetable in 90 seconds. They drag two clashes into manual placement, run it again, accept it Sunday evening. Three weeks of work compressed into a weekend.”
The receipts
Multi-grading-system coexistence — GCE + IB + Bac + GPA in one school.
World-class timetable solver — multi-campus, travel-time-aware, sub-90-second solves.
Audit trail on every grade edit. Nothing changes without a justification.
Cumulative QR-verified transcript on graduation. Forever.
