Our Story

MySchool was founded in 2008 by our Founder & CEO, Patrice Peyre, who saw an opportunity to bring the same level of innovation and reliability found in enterprise software to the education sector.

Drawing on his experience building technology solutions for global banks and organisations including Hyundai, Patrice recognised that many schools were facing operational challenges that could be solved with better systems and better access to information. He set out to create a platform designed around the way schools actually work.

Over the years, MySchool has grown alongside the schools we serve. Today, our platform supports a wide range of institutions, from independent schools to large educational organisations serving tens of thousands of students.

While technology has evolved, our approach has remained the same. We listen closely to the needs of schools, build solutions that support their day-to-day operations, and help educators and administrators spend less time managing systems and more time supporting their communities.

At MySchool, we understand that no two schools operate the same way. That's why our platform offers extensive configuration options, allowing schools to adapt workflows, processes, and settings to their unique requirements. The result is a system that works the way your school works.
