School SIS on Strapi and NocoDB
A school SIS platform built on Strapi headless CMS and bidirectionally synced with NocoDB lets school staff work in a spreadsheet-like interface while apps use REST/GraphQL APIs. It manages student records, classes, enrollment, attendance, grades, parents, and LMS export toward OneRoster standards.

From student records to LMS data, Strapi provides standard APIs for web, mobile, and other system integrations.
Student Records
Manage personal information, transcripts, enrollment status, and key student events.
Classes and Enrollment
Organize grade levels, classes, and terms; manage enrollment, class transfers, and track enrollment status.
Attendance
Record daily and period attendance and create data to track participation rates.
Grades
Store exam scores, continuous assessment scores, final scores, and evaluation levels by subject.
Parents
Link parents to students, allowing role-based information lookup and notifications.
LMS Data Export
Standardize student, class, course, and grade data toward OneRoster standards for LMS export.
Strapi + NocoDB + PostgreSQL Architecture
Strapi acts as the headless CMS, defining SIS data structures and providing REST/GraphQL APIs for applications. NocoDB is a spreadsheet interface for school staff, accessing the same PostgreSQL database or syncing via API/webhook. PostgreSQL serves as the relational data core, ensuring consistent relationships among students, classes, parents, attendance, and grades.
- Strapi: content management, permissions, REST/GraphQL APIs for web and mobile
- NocoDB: visual spreadsheet for staff to quickly update, filter, and verify data
- PostgreSQL: stores student-class-parent-grade-attendance relationships
- Two-way sync: changes in NocoDB reflect in Strapi and vice versa
Frequently Asked Questions About SIS on Strapi
How is SIS different from LMS?
SIS focuses on academic data such as records, classes, enrollment, attendance, grades, and parents. LMS focuses on courses, lessons, and learning activities. SIS can export data to an LMS to reduce duplicate data entry.
Do school staff need programming knowledge to use NocoDB?
Not necessarily. NocoDB provides a spreadsheet interface for staff to view, filter, and update data. Administrators still need appropriate Strapi structure and access permissions.
How does two-way sync between Strapi and NocoDB work?
NocoDB can connect to the same PostgreSQL database or sync via API/webhook. When data is updated on one side, the sync mechanism pushes changes to the other side, so staff and applications share a single source of truth.
Can parents and access permissions be managed?
Yes. Strapi supports roles, permissions, and parent-student links, allowing parents to view only information related to their children.
What does exporting data to an LMS using OneRoster mean?
It means standardizing student, class, course, and grade data according to the OneRoster model, making LMS data export clearer, easier to integrate, and less dependent on proprietary formats.
