Orchestra Master Scheduler

What Orchestra Master Scheduler is

Orchestra Master Scheduler is a browser-based, cloud-hosted tool for K-12 schools creating and managing master schedules. It supports traditional, 4x4 block, A/B block, multiperiod flex block, and rotating block formats. Schools can define constraints, generate schedules, then edit them with drag and drop. Specific courses can be locked while other scheduling work is automated, with conflict detection and student group scheduling included. The setup workflow covers courses and teachers, course requests, constraints, schedule generation, and loading students. Students can submit requests online, while schools can use prior-year, faculty, and student input when refining courses. Teachers, courses, and request templates can be imported from earlier schedules. Orchestra is described as a stand-alone scheduler compatible with any existing SIS. It runs without a software download, and the maker says data is backed up daily using current security and encryption protocols. There is no schedule-count limit, but only one active enrollment period and one next enrollment period can be designated at a time. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
