User Guide

Learn your way around SCHOOL.

A plain-English tour of signing in, navigating, and getting the most out of every feature β€” whether you're a school learner following CAPS or a university student.

Getting started

The fastest path from new account to a working study flow.

Create an account

Sign up with your email and a password (min 8 characters). New accounts get a free 14-day trial of full access, including AI study generations.

Sign in

Use your email and password from any device. Sessions keep you signed in across the sidebar, mobile navigation, and the AI study assistant.

Complete onboarding

Tell SCHOOL your grade or programme, subjects, and goals. This powers personalisation: the planner, the daily quiz, learning reminders, and AI answers tuned to your curriculum (CAPS for school, your modules for university).

Add your material

Upload notes, past papers, or course content so the AI assistant can ground its answers in what you're actually studying.

Navigating the platform

Everything hangs off the sidebar on desktop and the bottom navigation on mobile.

Sidebar (desktop)

The left sidebar groups the platform into Learn (learning material, practice, daily quiz, planner), Connect (community, study circles, leaderboard, games), and Account (settings, learning journey). Collapse it with the toggle for more reading room.

Bottom navigation (mobile)

On small screens the sidebar becomes a bottom bar with the core destinations: Home, Learn, Community, and Profile. The full menu stays one tap away.

Dashboard

Your landing page summarises today's plan: streak, reminders, recent material, and quick actions. Anything here links to the fuller tool.

The AI study assistant

Available from the sidebar (AI Tutor) or inside a study session. Paste notes, ask for an explanation, a summary, or practice questions. The assistant adapts to your language preference and curriculum. Free accounts get a daily generation cap; the cap resets daily.

Personalisation

The features that make SCHOOL feel like yours.

Learning profile

Your grade or programme, selected subjects, and study preferences drive the planner, quiz difficulty, and AI tone. Update it any time from the learning journey.

Planner

Build a weekly study timetable around your subjects. Mark sessions complete to keep your streak and get reminders for what's due.

Daily quiz

A short, personalised quiz each day based on your weakest subjects. Keep your streak to stay consistent.

Language and accessibility

Set your preferred language and accessibility options in Settings. The AI assistant and interface adapt accordingly.

Practice and assessment

Turn studying into results.

Past papers

Browse CAPS past papers by province, grade, and subject. Attempts are saved to your account; completed attempts unlock detailed reports (unlockable with Scholar Credits).

Notes

Save and sync notes to your account so they follow you across sessions and devices.

Scholar Credits

Earn credits through activity and referrals, and spend them on premium unlocks like detailed past-paper reports.

Post questions, share wins, and follow peers. The feed is personalised to your subjects and school.

Study circles

Join or create small groups around a subject or goal, with shared material and reminders.

Games centre

Turn revision into games: citation sprints, CV optimiser, debate clock, and more.

Leaderboard

See how you rank among peers on streaks, quizzes, and engagement.

Account and plans

Keep your data and access in order.

Settings

Manage profile details, language, accessibility, notifications, and privacy from one place.

Plans and access

New accounts run on a 14-day trial. After the trial, the AI assistant continues with a daily generation cap on the free plan. Upgrade any time for unlimited AI sessions.

Safety and consent

Learners under 18 need parental consent to register, and users under 13 may not create accounts, in line with POPIA. Marketplace and tutoring features require phone verification.
