Powerful Features, Built for Schools Across Africa
Everything you need to run exams, results, and parent communication — reliably, even when the internet isn't.

- Exams keep running when the network drops — answers sync on reconnect
- Question shuffling, tab-switch detection and optional webcam capture
- Auto-graded the moment a student submits — no marking pile
- Watch every exam live from the staff room
Everything in One Platform
Six modules your school works in every day — and the capabilities that run underneath all of them.
CBT Exams
Exams keep running when the network drops, and grade themselves the moment a student submits. Anti-cheat, live monitoring and a reusable question bank are built in.
Student Records
Profiles, guardians and documents in one place — with classes, subjects, sessions and one-step end-of-session promotion.
Gradebook
Enter scores once. Term averages and letter grades compute themselves, per class and per subject.
Attendance
Daily register plus a gate log of who dropped off and picked up every child — and a private pickup alert to the right teacher instead of a PA announcement.
Homework
Assign homework and share it with parents over a private link. Work is handed in on paper as usual — the teacher ticks off who has turned theirs in, per class.
Parent Results Portal
Parents open a private link to view and print their child's results. No account to create, no app to install.
Coming Soon
More powerful tools are on the way as we keep building Palmgrade.
Online Fee Payment
Collect Fees Online
Let parents pay school fees online, settled straight to the school.
Report Cards & Result Sheets
Termly & Cumulative Reports
School-branded report cards that compute themselves from the Gradebook — printable and shareable.
Bulk SMS & WhatsApp
Instant Parent Updates
Send results and announcements to every parent in a few clicks.
Parent Portal (All Wards)
One Login, Every Child
Parents with more than one child see every ward's results and updates from a single account.
Not Just Another School App
Five things you can check for yourself before you commit to anything.
Unlimited staff accounts, with real role separation
Owner, Admin and Teacher, plus custom roles like Bursar, Principal or Exams Officer — each with per-permission control over exactly what they can see and do. Teachers only reach their own classes, enforced in the database.
No plan charges per seat. Most platforms hand every staff member the same keys.
Built offline-first, not merely offline-tolerant
The exam engine and core screens are architected around on-device storage and a queued sync layer. An exam that starts finishes, whether or not the network does.
Most school software is a cloud app that retries. That is not the same thing.
Our pricing is on this website
Plans start at ₦3,500 per month, published in full with every limit spelled out. No quote, no sales call, no "contact us for pricing".
Almost every competitor makes you book a demo before they will name a number.
Your school's data is isolated at the database level
Every record carries your school and is protected by Postgres row-level security, so one school can never read another's data — even if something above the database goes wrong.
Not just a login screen in front of one shared table.
No forced workflow
You define classes, subjects, sessions, terms and staff roles the way your school already runs. Nothing assumes a particular curriculum or grading scheme.
The software adapts to you, not the other way round.
