Why boarding teams feel stretched

It’s hard to know where every student is at any moment.
↓
Leave and exeat requests mean endless emails, calls, and forms.
↓

Important notes live in too many places (notebooks, spreadsheets, email, google docs!).
↓
Inspections and RFIs create last‑minute scrambles for records.

But with Orah...
Orah helps you focus on what matters

Manage leave and exeats without chaos

Handle leave, exeats, and end‑of‑term travel in one place. Parents get a clear request. They approve or decline with a click. Staff see the full picture so you avoid last‑minute confusion and missed students.

Always know where your students are

See who is on campus, off campus, or on leave at a glance. Replace paper lists and ad‑hoc spreadsheets with one live view of student locations. Any staff member can quickly confirm where a student should be.

Orah gives you the full picture

Have one record for student life

Each student has a single profile with notes, incidents, health or pastoral information, and location history. Staff on duty see what’s going on in that student’s life so they can check in early and support them better.

Be ready for inspections at any time

When inspectors or leadership ask for records, you can pull them up in seconds. Search past incidents, attendance, and notes from one secure system instead of digging through folders and emails.

Make handovers and duty reports easy

During your shift, log incidents, wins, and follow‑ups as you go. At the end of the shift, Orah turns those notes into a clear duty report you can share with the team or leadership.

Orah works with the systems you already use

Orah integrates with student information systems like iSAMS, Veracross, Blackbaud, FACTS, Synergetic and more. If we don't support your existing systems yet, you can also connect your own via our Open API. For you, that means fewer double‑entries and more reliable data across your systems.
