Create your school

Updated 26 August 2026

Sign up at schola.ng, verify your email with a one-time code, and complete your school's initial setup — all in one flow.

Sign up

  1. Go to schola.ng and click Create school.
  2. Enter your school details:
    • School name — your full school name (e.g. Sunshine Secondary School).
    • Your school's URL — your subdomain on Schola (yourschool.schola.ng). Schola suggests one from your school name; edit it if needed. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
    • Your first name, last name, email address, and phone number.
    • A password for your admin account (at least 8 characters).
  3. Click Continue.

Verify your email

Schola sends an 8-digit code to your email address.

  1. Open the email (check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive within a minute).
  2. Enter the code on the Check your email screen.
  3. Click Create my school.

If the code expires before you use it, click Resend code.

Complete setup

Before you reach your dashboard, a short setup page asks for a few more school details:

  1. School logo (optional) — appears on report cards, receipts, and the public result checker. Skip it and Schola generates a placeholder from your school's initials.
  2. Motto (optional).
  3. Contact email, contact phone, and address (optional).

Click Complete setup to save and land in your dashboard. You can change any of this later. Creating your first session and terms is a separate step — see Set up your academic year.
