Pros

“Dashboard: Can include lessons and assignments; shows a weekly calendar (helpful to note upcoming quizzes, tests, etc.)”

Donna J.

Instructional Assistant

“Cons: Initial setup can take some time, particularly at the beginning of the school year when administration is entering and organizing student information and class assignments.”

Tamee R.

Teacher

“Also, I like that the school nurse is able to upload individualized health care plans to Alma, making it simple to pass along pertinent health information for those who need to know this.”

Kathleen C.

School Nurse

Pros

“This applies broadly across Canadian private schools and colleges, where issuing tax receipts is part of normal operations and compliance.”

Natasha T.

Member of the Board

“As a private Christian school in Canada, tax receipting is a standard requirement, not a unique or specialized request.”

Natasha T.

Member of the Board

“We are able to choose and pay for only those modules that are relevant to our school.”

Adam Q.

Registrar

Cons

“I dont like how the enrollment data is tranferred onto the student profile . If a parent lists a child has asthma , allergies etc it should be reflected on the student profile .”

Catherine D.

Operations Manager

“The only thing I would say I least liked was that it was not compariable to the system that was use for reporting to our district office.”

Aja B.

Coordinator of Schools Operations

“Missing grade level filter in the school directory and notifications when someone submits an Alma Start form.”

Amy D.

Supervisor of Information Technology Systems

Cons

“This resulted in significant lost time and required us to restart our search process. If you are a Canadian private school or college that requires tax receipting, I would not recommend investing time in this platform.”

Natasha T.

Member of the Board

“We have had a few instances where we have turned on a feature and it not work, only to have Classter report that they have had to do some backend fixing to get it to work.”

Gina W.

Head of Operations

“Sometimes information does not save the first time. If I change the course status and the registration date and press save, the course status will be saved, but the registration date will NOT be saved.”

Sara R.

Senior Academic Manager
