The only solution for real-time availability
School operational excellence relies on the ability to see where people are, who's free, and who's busy. Only SchoolCal syncs schedules to users' primary (personal) calendars, so they can see real-time availability and others can book them.
With iCal & Overlay Calendars
- ×
Inconsistent sync times - if you change details or locations last minute, your attendees may show up at the wrong spot
- ×
Doesn't impact users' free/busy status - you can see your schedule, but others can't – leading to scheduling tag and double bookings.
- ×
Less granular filtering - you have less control over who you share with, and what metadata you display.

Maximum control, minimum maintenance
"We were skeptical that a new tool could actually deliver value and not just be one more tool to manage and troubleshoot. But from super fast and smooth onboarding to flawless daily sync it's been set it and forget it. It just works."- Kevin Warenda
No new logins or learning curve
SchoolCal displays events natively on the calendar app your school already uses, so there's nothing new for your staff to learn, or logins to remember.
Set it and forget it
Get set up in 20 minutes, and let SchoolCal take it from there. New events or changes sync automatically, no ongoing maintenance required.
Only sync what you need
SchoolCal can sync Class Schedules, Athletic Events, Calendar Events, Rooms & Resources, and Day Labels. Pick the type of data you want synced, and only pay for the connections you need.
Filter out irrelevant data
Include or exclude where you want the data to sync by native SIS filters (e.g. Course Type, School Levels, Students). Exclude people, classes, or courses from the sync.
Customize how events display in calendars
Customize the title and description, include the block, set event visibility to public/private, and choose whether invitees can see other guests.
Test syncs before releasing to your school
Do a full sync for a group of Pilot Users to test how the events will look when synced to their calendar, so you can make sure it's displaying correctly before rolling it out.
Sync last minute changes on-demand
Are classes unexpectedly shortened, delayed, or canceled? Room availability changed at the last minute? Initiate a fresh sync in 1-click to quickly update staff and student calendars.
Check your sync history at a glance
Want to double check today's sync, or make sure a specific event got passed through correctly? View a history of all data that got synced in one place.
