Vklass schema

Every hour in school should count

The timetable shapes teachers' working days, students' school days and how the school's premises are used. Vklass schema plans the entire school year directly in the same platform where the school's everyday work already happens. The tool can also run standalone, with open standards.

The idea behind Vklass schema

The computer calculates and you decide

A school year is thousands of decisions that must work for teachers, students and school leaders. See how Vklass schema does the mathematical heavy lifting, explains the result and keeps the planner in control.

Our starting point

From conviction to tool

A timetable shapes teachers' working days and students' school days. That is the starting point for how we build Vklass schema.

Our conviction

School time is a school's most valuable resource

We believe every teaching hour should count. When the timetable is right, teachers get coherent working days, students get a reasonable school day without unnecessary gaps, and the principal gets control over whether the teaching-time plan is actually fulfilled. That is why we build timetabling that protects the school's time.

Our approach

The whole school year, in the school's own platform

We put the timetable where the school already works: in Vklass, with the same base data and login. The engine tests every placement against the entire school year and the school's own rules: the teaching-time plan, teacher qualifications, holidays and staff training days. The answer arrives in under a millisecond, while you work.

The tool

Vklass schema

A complete timetabling tool for the K-12 market, from preschool class to adult education. It includes AI-based automatic generation, a cluster view across all weeks, work distribution, error checking against the teaching-time plan and teacher qualifications, a substitute plan, break duties and room booking. The timetable is published all the way to teachers, students and guardians.

Other tools plan a typical week and let you handle the exceptions. Vklass schema plans the entire school year from the start, with holidays, theme days and A/B weeks as part of the timetable.

This is what you get

Built for the K-12 market

Conflicts show up instantly

The computation engine validates every placement against all teachers, rooms and individual students in under a millisecond. You see a conflict the moment you make it.

The whole school year in one view

The cluster view shows all 40 weeks at once. Place a lesson once and let it follow its weekly pattern: every week, every other week or custom periods. Holidays and staff training days are excluded automatically.

Teaching-time plan and qualifications built in

Guaranteed teaching time is tracked against the teaching-time plan, and teachers' qualifications and subject knowledge can be specified so the tool warns when a teacher lacks the required qualification. The rules are part of the engine and are tested with every placement.

hub

Open towards your systems

Vklass schema is fully integrated with Vklass and also works standalone. An open, OpenAPI 3-specified API lets your student information systems and other school systems read and write base data and lessons. Read more about integrations.

Generate the whole timetable or just the rest

Generate a complete timetable in seconds, or lock what works and let the engine solve the rest. If the engine cannot make it fit, it explains why and suggests which constraints could be relaxed.

groups

Support throughout the school year

The substitute plan gives suggestions matched on qualifications, break duties are distributed fairly and the municipality can book rooms without access to personal data.

Vklass schema works from a single source: the same timetable in the timetabling tool, in the platform and in every exchange. No sync is needed, and there are never three different versions to troubleshoot between systems.

For you who build the timetable

You stay in control and the automation does the heavy lifting

The timetable is the school's hardest puzzle, and you are the one who builds it. Vklass schema does the heavy lifting and leaves you in control: lock what should stay fixed, regenerate the rest and fine-tune it yourself.

Every move is validated instantly against teachers, rooms and every individual student. If the answer turns red, the engine explains why and suggests what could be relaxed. For the first time, several of you can also work in the same timetable simultaneously, with version history showing who changed what. With the automation, your expertise becomes more important.

For the whole school

More time for the school's actual mission

We exist to give teaching and the students' school day more time. That time is freed up when timetabling takes days instead of weeks and error checking happens while you work.
