High School Timetable Software. Any Schedule Type.
From traditional 7-period days to complex block schedules, create conflict-free schedules that maximize student course fulfillment and teacher satisfaction.
What is High School Timetable Software?
High school timetable software is specialized scheduling technology designed to handle the unique complexities of secondary education. Unlike elementary schools where one teacher handles most subjects, high schools require sophisticated scheduling that coordinates hundreds of course sections, specialized teachers, and shared facilities.
Modern AI-powered solutions like TimetableMaster can process thousands of constraints simultaneously - from student course requests and teacher certifications to lab availability and block schedule patterns - to generate optimal schedules in minutes instead of weeks.
For high schools, effective timetable software must support various schedule formats (traditional, block, rotating), manage course selection processes, and provide flexibility for the many exceptions that occur throughout the school year.

Frequently Asked Questions About High School Scheduling
How does TimetableMaster handle block scheduling?
TimetableMaster fully supports all types of block scheduling including A/B day alternating blocks, 4x4 semester blocks, and hybrid models. You can configure period lengths, define which days follow which pattern, and the AI will automatically create schedules that respect these structures.
Can it handle student course selection and class balancing?
Yes! TimetableMaster includes a student course selection module where students or counselors can enter course requests. The AI then creates a master schedule that maximizes the number of fulfilled requests while maintaining balanced class sizes.
How do you handle AP, IB, and honors course scheduling?
Our system allows you to tag courses by track (AP, IB, Honors, Standard, Vocational, etc.) and ensure they are taught by appropriately certified teachers. You can also set rules to prevent conflicts between commonly paired courses.
Can teachers set their scheduling preferences?
Absolutely. Teachers can specify preferences for prep periods, maximum consecutive teaching periods, preferred rooms, and unavailable times. The scheduling algorithm weighs these preferences while ensuring all classes are covered.
What about scheduling around sports and extracurriculars?
You can mark certain periods or times as protected for athletics or other activities. The system can also ensure that students in specific programs do not have academic conflicts during practice times.
How long does it take to generate a high school schedule?
Initial schedule generation typically takes 5-15 minutes depending on school size and complexity. A school with 1,500 students and 100 teachers can have a complete, conflict-free master schedule in under 10 minutes.
