What's inside
Built around an ordinary school day.
No separate apps to stitch together. Everything is connected: a test sits next to its lesson, a substitution shows up in every calendar at once, an absence counts on the report card.
Assignments and tests
Hand-ins with attachments, deadlines next to the right lesson, and an overview of what is still open.
Grades and report cards
Weights, exam share, comments per subject and from the form tutor. Publish with one click.
Absences
Attendance per period, self-reported absences, excused by the school office, and statistics for management.
Substitutions
Report an absent teacher and choose per lesson: substitute, study hall or cancelled. Everyone sees it right away.
Messages
Conversations with teachers, parents and the school office, with attachments and email notifications.
Online lessons
Remote lessons and voice group calls, right in the browser.
moduleScanner
Every upload checked for viruses, with plagiarism and AI signals for the teacher.
module
An ordinary Tuesday
Reported at 7:45, in every calendar by 7:46.
A teacher calls in sick. The school office sorts it out in a few clicks, and students, parents and the substitute see it right away. Nobody stands in front of an empty classroom.
- Reported absent
The teacher presses the red button Report absentin the calendar, or the school office reports it.
- Lessons marked
All lessons that day are marked "teacher absent", in linked calendars too.
- Substitution arranged
The school office sees which colleagues are free and chooses per lesson: substitute, study hall or cancelled.
- Everyone knows where to be
The substitute has the lesson in their calendar, and the class knows which room the study hall is in.
Privacy and security
Children's data deserves extra care.
orbit.edu is built with the GDPR in mind: show less where possible, keep everything traceable where it matters.
Every school separate
Its own database and files per school. No tables shared with other schools.
Two-step verification
With an app on your phone or by text message, and strict password rules for everyone.
Health data shielded
Teachers see that an absence is excused, not whether a student was ill.
A complete log
Who signed in, what was changed and who opened submitted work, per person and per date.
The data stays yours
Access and export per person, permanent deletion, retention periods per type of data.
No ads, no trackers
Not on the platform and not on this website. Students are not an audience.

Frequently asked
Any questions?
Do students or parents need to install anything?
No. orbit.edu works in any browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. On a phone you can add it to your home screen as an app.
Can parents who don't speak Dutch use it?
Yes. Everyone chooses Dutch, English or French. Screens, buttons and notifications are translated.
Who sees a student's grades?
The student, their parents (if the school allows it) and their teachers. The school can hide grades for a while, for example during exams.
What if we want to stop after a while?
Then you get all of the school's data as an export. After that, it is deleted.
