Faith-Based School Software
Tuition, enrolment, giving and student records in one place — built for schools where the congregation and the school share the same families.
Your school and your congregation share the same families
A faith-based school is rarely one organisation. The parish, congregation or mosque is a separate body that often owns the building, carries part of the budget, shares an administrator, and holds the membership that decides what a family pays. Money moves in both directions, and the same families are on both sides of it — paying tuition in September and giving to the appeal in November.
Software built for a standalone school does not see that. It bills one tuition, keeps donations somewhere else, and leaves your office to hold the two together by hand. TUIO puts the tuition, the giving and the family record on one platform, with member and community rates, your own registration questions, and receipts that follow the entity structure you actually have.
It also takes your office out of the middle of the money. Invoices go out on schedule, payments come off on their due date, and reminders send themselves — so nobody has to decide whether today is the day to raise a balance with a family they will see at the weekend.
TUIO software for faith-based schools includes
Tuition Management
Member rates, community rates, sibling discounts and quiet assistance — each one a payment plan on the family, invoiced and collected on schedule.
Enrollment Management
Your own registration form, certificates and clergy references included, with active, enrolled and waitlisted families on one dashboard.
Student Information System
Families keep their own records current — contacts, allergies, consents, dietary and religious details — so your list is right without your office retyping it.
Fundraising & Communication
Run the annual appeal and the building fund alongside tuition, and message one family or the whole school in the app they already use to pay.
Attendance & Class Management
Take attendance for a class or programme in seconds, from its schedule or by hand.
Built for how a faith-based school actually runs
Two rates, one programme. Registered families pay one tuition and the wider community pays another. In TUIO that is two payment plans inside the same programme, not two systems to reconcile at year end. Clergy and staff-family rates work the same way, and sibling discounts sit on the plan.
Assistance nobody has to see. Confidential aid is a standing programme at most faith-based schools rather than an exception. Families see only their own invoice, and staff see only what their permission level allows, so the family on assistance is not visible to a volunteer helping with registration.
Tuition and the appeal, side by side. Run the annual appeal, the building fund and the assistance fund at once, with recurring monthly giving and cash or cheque gifts entered by hand. Receipts follow the entity structure you set up, charitable or not, and donors can choose to cover the processing fee.
The questions your form actually asks. Baptismal certificates, a letter from your pastor or imam, sacrament records, parish membership. Add the fields you need, accept document uploads, and run different forms per programme. What a family enters becomes their student record.
One office, sometimes half a person. Onboarding is a single hour with a specialist who sets up your programmes and rates with you. Afterwards support is a live person on phone, chat or email, 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday, for your staff and for your families, at no extra charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we charge parish families a different tuition than everyone else?
Yes. A member rate and a community rate are two payment plans inside the same programme, each assigned to the families it applies to. The same is true of a clergy or staff-family rate, sibling discounts, and confidential assistance. Families see only their own invoice, and staff see only what their permission level allows.
Can we run our annual appeal and collect tuition on the same platform?
Yes, and the two stay as separate records. You can run several donation funds at once — an annual appeal, a building fund and a tuition-assistance fund, for example — with fixed amounts, open amounts or named sponsorship levels. Recurring monthly giving is supported, and cash and cheque donations can be entered so your reporting covers everything, not only what came in online.
Can we still issue receipts the way we do now?
Donation receipts are sent automatically and follow the legal entity structure you choose during setup, charitable or not. Whether a receipt qualifies as an official charitable receipt depends on your organisation's own registration. Tuition receipts and statements are generated from the family's payment history.
Our registration form asks for a baptismal certificate and a letter from our pastor. Can TUIO handle that?
Yes. You build the form: add and remove fields, set which ones are required, and accept document uploads. You can run different forms for different programmes or grade levels so families only answer what applies to them. Everything a family submits becomes their student record, so nobody re-keys it.
We are a small community and everyone knows each other. How does TUIO handle a family that has fallen behind?
Invoices and reminders send themselves on a schedule you set, so nobody in your office has to decide whether today is the day to raise it. If a payment fails, the family is told why and can fix it from their own account, which is how most failures end. If you would rather not be in the middle of it, ask support and our team will work it out with the family directly.
Is TUIO secure enough for student and payment information?
Card and bank details are entered directly into the payment processor's secure form, embedded in the TUIO page, and go straight to the processor's vault. TUIO never collects, transmits or stores them — which is what keeps your school in the simplest PCI category, SAQ-A, rather than the far heavier assessment a school processing cards itself would face. Student records are a separate matter. They are held in Canada, connections are encrypted, each family can see only their own information, and administrators assign staff permission levels by role.
Our office is one part-time administrator. How long does this take to set up?
Onboarding is a single live session, usually about an hour, in which a product specialist configures your programmes, billing rules and parent access with you. After that the pace is yours — it depends on how fast your team can assemble student and family details and how much history you want moved across before you start billing. Schools that arrive at the session with their data ready are often invoicing within days.
