Connecting eKool Calendar to Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Apple Calendar

You can subscribe to your eKool calendars – such as School Events or Staff Absences – and view them directly in your preferred calendar application. Once connected, your calendar updates automatically whenever new events are added in eKool.

What you need to know

  • Each calendar in eKool has its own subscription link.
  • The sync is one-way: information moves from eKool to your external calendar (no changes are written back to eKool).
  • The sync link stays valid indefinitely unless you manually remove it from your calendar app.
  • Supported calendars:
    • Google Calendar
    • Microsoft Outlook Calendar
    • Apple Calendar

Good to know!

Synchronization between the eKool calendar and your personal calendar may take some time and does not happen instantly.
