Mega School is a comprehensive school management system built with Laravel 12 and Bootstrap to simplify the daily operations of educational institutions.

The system provides tools for online admissions, student and class management, fee collection, examinations, results, payment processing, staff management, and communication between schools, parents, teachers, and students.

Its role-based environment provides separate portals for Super Admins, Class Admins, Parents, and Students. Parents can manage multiple children from one account, review fee history, make payments, and monitor academic performance, while students can access their syllabus, results, report cards, and fee information.

Mega School also includes a school website CMS with news, events, galleries, testimonials, sliders, custom pages, and SEO-related controls. A career portal allows institutions to publish vacancies and receive applications.

The system supports Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, and Paystack payment gateways and includes a built-in wallet system. Security features include CSRF protection, secure password hashing, input validation, and role-based access control.

An installation wizard is included to guide database setup and administrator creation, with documentation covering installation and configuration.
