Create your school

Updated 3 July 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.
  3. Click Create school.

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 Verify your email screen.
  3. Click Verify — you'll land directly in your school's dashboard.

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

Complete setup

A banner at the top of your dashboard guides you through the remaining steps:

  1. Upload your school logo — appears on report cards, receipts, and the public result checker.
  2. Add your school motto (optional).
  3. Create your first session and terms — see Set up your academic year.

Once those steps are done, the banner clears and your school is ready.
