Alma SIS vs. Orah

Alma is the connected education platform serving independent schools, charter schools, school networks, districts, state education agencies, and other K–12 education organizations across the United States and around the world. Designed specifically for education, Alma combines an intuitive, future-ready student information system with tools and expertise spanning teaching and learning, enrollment, communications, payments, analytics, artificial intelligence, data management, interoperability, state reporting, and more.

Orah is a school safety platform that helps independent K-12 schools know where their students are in real time. Student location awareness is kept accurate through the routines schools already run: attendance, hall passes, dismissals, and student-initiated check-ins. All staff, parents, and students can contribute to keeping location records current. Locations are private by default and revealed only to approved staff when action is needed.
