How to set up your academy profile

What it's for

Your academy profile is the core information about your school — its name, type, contact details, address, timezone, currency and operating hours. Skooly uses these details across your public sign-up forms, invoices, schedules and reports, so it's the first thing to set up when you get started.

Where to find it

From the left sidebar, open Settings → Academy Info.

Step-by-step

1. Go to Settings → Academy Info.
2. Under Academy Type & Classification:
   • Choose your Academy Type from the dropdown (for example, Music, Dance, Sports or Tutoring). This field is required.
   • Optionally add an Academy Subtype to describe your focus more precisely (for example, "Classical Music" or "Ballet").
3. Under Academy Profile:
   • Enter your Academy Name (required) — this is the name shown to students and families.
   • Optionally add a Legal Entity Name if your registered business name differs.
   • Set your Academy URL Slug (required). This becomes part of your public links, e.g. app.getskooly.com/your-academy/inquiry. Type freely — Skooly automatically converts it to lowercase and replaces spaces with hyphens. It must be at least 3 characters and use only lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
   • Optionally add a Tagline, Description and Year Founded for your public pages and marketing.

1. Under Contact Information:
   • Enter your Primary Phone (required) and Primary Email (required).
   • Optionally add a Secondary Phone, Support Email, Website and your Social Media links (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn).
2. Under Address (optional but recommended), enter your Street Address, City, State / Province / Region, Postal / ZIP Code and Country.
3. Under Regional Settings:
   • Choose your Timezone and Currency. These apply across all billing, scheduling and reporting, so set them carefully.
4. Under Operating Hours, set the default open/close times for each day:
   • Use the Set Standard Hours (9–6) or Weekdays Only buttons to fill in common patterns quickly.
   • Toggle a day off with its switch to mark it Closed.
   • Pick open and close times from the dropdowns for each open day.
   • Use the copy icon next to a day to apply that day's hours to every day.

1. Click Save Changes at the top of the page. Use Reset to discard your edits and revert to the last saved version.

Tips & limits

• Save Changes stays greyed out until you actually change something on the form.
• Your Currency and Timezone affect invoices and schedules everywhere — choose them before you start creating programs or billing.
• The URL Slug is used in your public inquiry and sign-up form links. Pick something short and memorable; changing it later will change those links.
• Operating Hours here are your academy-wide defaults. Individual branches/locations can set their own hours in Settings → Locations.
• Required fields are Academy Type, Academy Name, URL Slug, Primary Phone and Primary Email. You'll see an inline message if any required field is missing or invalid.
