Schedule and roll call
Classes, rooms and teachers without clashes. Teachers take attendance in a few taps, and hours count toward each student's week.
Run your school. Stay SEVIS-ready.
Admissions, classes, attendance, billing and F-1 compliance for private language schools, in one system.
Your students stay yours. Lunova is independent software. We do not run a school, recruit students or share one school's data with another.
F-1 and M-1
Your own policies
Five tools and a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
That is how most language schools run. Lunova puts every step in one place, so nothing depends on someone remembering.

Late payments chased from memory.

F-1 compliance
The part of the job you cannot get wrong.
A missed deadline can cost a school its SEVP certification. Lunova watches the whole student body every day, shows your DSO what needs action first, and sends the update to SEVIS through SEVIS Batch.
- Reporting deadlines
- Registration, terminations and address changes, each with its due date and days left.
- The 18-hour week
- Weekly clock hours for every F-1 student, flagged before the week closes, not after.
- Absences
- Students who stop coming are flagged after the number of days your school sets.
- Straight to SEVIS
- New I-20s, registrations and terminations go to SEVIS in one batch, and the answer comes back to each student's record.
Everything from the first enquiry to the certificate.
One record per student, shared by admissions, the academic team, finance and your DSO.
Billing and refunds
Invoices in installments that students pay online by card, through Stripe. Refunds follow your school's policy, within your accreditor's and your state's limits.
Agents
A commission rate per agency, net or gross billing, and commissions that follow the booking when a student leaves early.
Admissions
Enquiries from your website form, follow-ups by date, quotes that turn into bookings with one click.
Homestays and airport transfers
Match students to host families by diet, pets and distance, pay hosts each month, and print the driver's sheet for arrival day.
Portals for teachers and students
Teachers see their classes and take roll. Students see their schedule, hours, grades and certificates, and pay their balance online.
Moving over takes weeks, not a school year.

How Lunova works for ESL schoolsLanguage schools and course providers
No visa students? Leave compliance aside and keep everything else: scheduling, attendance, billing, agents and portals.
Questions schools ask
Does Lunova file directly with SEVIS?
Yes, through SEVIS Batch, the interface SEVP provides for school software. Lunova sends new students and I-20s, registrations, address changes, extensions, completions and terminations, and reads SEVIS's answer the next business day. Every document is checked against the official SEVIS schemas before it leaves.
What does our school need for SEVIS Batch?
SEVP asks the PDSO to register the campus for Batch, a class 1 digital certificate, a signed Customer Agreement and a test run in the SEVIS Beta environment. We walk you through each step before you send anything real.
Can we move from QuickSchools or from spreadsheets?
Yes. We import students, classes, balances and open bookings with you before you go live, and check the numbers together.
Is our data kept apart from other schools?
Yes. Every record belongs to one school, and the system refuses any request that does not say which. We test this on every release.
Does Lunova work with our accreditor?
Yes. Accreditors and states set the limits, and each school writes its own policy within them. In Lunova you set your refund rules and deadlines, the weekly minimum and the SEVIS reporting deadlines, so the system follows your policy, whoever accredits you.
How do students pay?
Online, by card, through Stripe, straight into your school's own Stripe account; Lunova never holds your money. Each payment is matched to its invoice automatically. Wire transfers and other payments can still be recorded by your finance team.
Are there fees on online payments?
Stripe charges its standard card fee, and Lunova adds a 0.5% platform fee on each online payment. Both come out of the payment, so students pay exactly the invoice amount. No setup fees.
How is Lunova priced?
By school size, with every feature included. Book a demo and we will send you a quote the same week.
Who can log in?
Your staff, with permissions by role: director, admissions, academic, finance and DSO. Teachers and students have their own portals.
