Mirdif Private School Selects Skoolee Student Information System

BEIRUT, LEBANON, September 02, 2010 (Press-News.org) Mirdif Private School, one of the premier schools in the UAE, has an American based curriculum catering to children from KG1 to Grade 9. Established in 1995, the school is now supervised by its founder Mrs. Randa Ghandour.

"I realized the need to adopt and utilize an electronic management system that will help us reach our targets by implementing Skoolee school management system software. Skoolee will help us greatly pull the total work of the school to a higher level and standard of performance.

There were several less costly software on the market, however Skoolee stood out as a professional and reliable system offering its customers quality services, solid advice and support.

Mirdif Private School is pleased with its partnership with White Mountain Technologies." says Mrs. Ghandour.

"Skoolee is a user friendly application that helps with school management; it caters for daily administrative tasks, facilitating users' jobs and maximizing efficiency. The time usually spent on essential administrative procedures can thus be allocated for academia," explains Michael Zakharia, Managing Director at White Mountain Technologies.

"This is exactly what the administration at Mirdif Private School is seeking," adds Mr. Zakharia. "They want their staff to remain focused on students, their progress and their academics. At the same time they want to make sure that all other administrative procedures are being dealt with as efficiently as possible with Skoolee management information system."
