Track attendance in real time and identify at-risk students using smart alerts and insights. With deep integrations with our SIS partners, we’re making student visibility seamless–so schools can automate processes, reduce admin load, and act faster when it matters most.
Other school safety platforms only activate after a crisis hits. Orah helps you reach resolution faster by giving you real-time visibility before, during, and after—because it’s built on live attendance data, not static records.
Learn more about your students in one month than you have learnt in years. Schools use Orah to log behavior notes and infractions. Prompt students to submit Mood Checks or surveys to identify at-risk students nad uncover trends.
Simple, easy-to-use school communications. Control access, send messages via P2P chat, email, SMS & push notifications, all in one place.
With hundreds of features built for boarding schools over the last 10 years, Orah remains the world's leading software choice for boarding school management.
Over 500 schools trust Orah to keep their students safe and accounted for.

Orah saves Nicole 15-20 hours each month, and helped USN significantly improve their roll call completion rate to 98%
"It was pretty seamless…within three or four weeks, we pretty much had everybody taking it [attendance] in Orah.
The number of faculty members who have not taken attendance has dropped significantly…that means I’m not sending a reminder every class period or at the end of every day."
- Nicole Jules, Assistant Head of School for Student Affairs
"The system is very easy to use.
As well as a convenient tool for knowing exactly where pupils are, it has allowed pupils to indicate easily where they are going, when they left and when they return without scrambling to a piece of paper in the house. That alongside the very important but secondary safeguarding records have all ensured great security at Eton.
The Orah app to allow remote access to check-in and check out in real-time has been very helpful in terms of usability, safeguarding and security."

"The pilot period initially allowed us to achieve "buy-in" from faculty before fully transforming the system. For our fire drill, we have a preset response plan where all students assemble in the gym for a roll check. The roll is quickly taken and Dan was able to walk through and reconcile any missing kids with Orah.
This was unbelievable effective. There was one student who was unaccounted for and didn't come to campus, but because it was already in the system, we knew exactly which student was missing within minutes."
- Daniel Skoglund, Director of Diversity & Student Affairs
"We were concerned about the big change of moving from pen and paper to a very electronic system. I think we were worried about the ways that it could malfunction and how some of our faculty might be intimidated by the technology. We didn’t really have any real concerns about what the program could do, rather we were more concerned about how much of a cultural shift it would be to the whole community.
[But] it was actually incredibly smooth for us. I spent a bit of time on the front end making sure I knew how to use it and in the first couple weeks of school, I just walked around with the person on duty and asked if they had any questions or concerns. The kids didn’t even bat an eye. They love it. They think it’s easier. It’s their world. The faculty were a little intimidated at first but as soon as they got the hang of how to use it, it worked seamlessly with them."
- Ashley McDowell, Dean of Students

"I don't think you can look a parent in the eye and say 'we are doing everything we can' if you don't have Orah on your campus."
- Andrew Wright,
Foxcroft Academy, USA
"We use [Orah] to immediately learn what has been taking place leading up to that moment - who is sick, who is off campus, who missed the breakfast roll. All of this information is in one place."
- Antxon Iturbe,
St Anne's Belfield School, USA

"Students are starting to get more engaged just because of the way we're able to communicate and share information with them"
"Orah is a clean platform that allows you to see and track any concerns with students. You can see if they're not participating, eating regularly, or leaving the building. Those are incredibly helpful pieces that facilitate meaningful conversations"
"Orah ensures that you are on the top of your game when it comes to making sure that students are safe and accounted for. After using Orah, I can’t imagine operating without it now."
"The checkpoint kiosk has provided a professional way to manage the sign in/out of the pupils and staff, which supports the safeguarding of pupils. The system is very easy to use, allowing proper management of access to Boarding Houses."
Orah’s security and privacy program is based on and aligned with industry-standard frameworks, and we maintain a comprehensive suite of certifications and attestations to further demonstrate our commitment to security and privacy.
