Sound familiar?

Running a school shouldn’t mean chasing paper.

Most schools we talk to run on a mix of exercise books, spreadsheets, MoMo statements and WhatsApp groups. Every one of those gaps costs time, money or trust.

Records live in registers, Excel and WhatsApp

Report cards take days to compile. Transcripts go missing when a student transfers.

Fee collection leaks money

Parents pay by MoMo, cash and bank deposit. The bursar reconciles by hand, and arrears only show up at the end of term.

Parents are in the dark

They hear about absences and poor grades weeks late, usually at a PTA meeting.

Heads can’t see the school

Enrolment, collection rate and teacher coverage are guesses until someone builds a spreadsheet.

Tools are fragmented or foreign

Most products do only fees or only results, or are built for US and UK terms, grading and payments.

One record, every role

Everyone sees what they need. Nobody retypes anything.

Staff use the web app. Parents, teachers and students use the mobile app. Everyone works from the same student record, from admission to graduation.

See the whole school, live, without waiting for a spreadsheet.

Fees & mobile money

Every cedi, on time and accounted for.

The bursar sets fees once per term. From then on, invoices go out, payments arrive through any channel and each one lands against the right invoice in a single ledger.

MTN MoMoTelecel CashAT MoneyVisa & MastercardBank transferCash & cheque
  1. 1

    Fee structure

    Set once per class and term, with discounts and instalments.

  2. 2

    Invoices

    Generated for every student at the start of term.

  3. 3

    Parent pays

    MoMo, card, bank transfer or cash at the bursary.

    Auto-reconcile

    Matched to the right invoice by payment reference.

  5. 5

    Ledger & reports

    Receipt sent instantly. Every cedi in one ledger.

Unique payment reference

Each student gets their own reference, so MoMo and bank payments match without anyone checking statements.

Reminders that don’t nag

Automatic reminders 7 days before a due date, on the day, then weekly, by SMS and push.

Approvals & audit trail

Refunds, discounts and adjustments need a second approver. Every change is logged.

Eight core modules

Everything a school runs on. One student record.

The modules share one student record and one academic calendar, so data entered once shows up everywhere it’s needed.

Built for Ghana

Not a foreign tool with a cedi sign added.

Ecole is designed around how Ghanaian schools work: GES terms and grading, mission and private school structures, and parents who pay by phone.

Our unfair advantage

Our team already builds and runs regulated mobile-money products. Payments, reconciliation and bank-grade security are what we do best, not extras.

How we protect schools

Mobile money first

Parents already pay by MoMo. Ecole reconciles MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AT Money automatically.

GES curriculum built in

The Standards-Based Curriculum and Common Core Programme, pre-loaded from strand to indicator.

Made for 3G and outages

Registers and score entry work fully offline and sync when the network returns.

SMS for every parent

Parents without a smartphone still get alerts by SMS and can pay with a MoMo reference.

Local terms, local money

Three terms, 30/70 SBA weighting, BECE and WASSCE in mind, and amounts in Ghana cedis.

Designed for Act 843

Ghana’s Data Protection Act shapes how we store data, with parental consent collected at admission.

Simple pricing

Priced per student, per term. Just like your fees.

Free for small schools. Pay only for the students you actually have.

Questions

What heads and bursars ask us first.

Anything else? Book a demo and we’ll walk through your school’s setup with you.

Do parents need a smartphone?

No. Parents with smartphones use the Ecole app. Everyone else gets SMS alerts and can pay fees with MoMo using their child’s payment reference. USSD access is on our roadmap.

What happens to the money parents pay?

Payments are processed by a Bank of Ghana–licensed payment partner. Ecole records each payment against the right invoice and issues the receipt. We never store card details.

We already have records in Excel. Do we start from scratch?

No. Send us your spreadsheets and our onboarding team does the first import of students, guardians, staff, subjects and opening fee balances with you.

What if the internet goes off during registers or score entry?

Attendance and score entry work fully offline in the mobile app and sync when the connection comes back. The app is designed to run on 3G.

Does Ecole follow the GES curriculum?

Yes. The Standards-Based Curriculum and Common Core Programme are pre-loaded from strand to indicator, and each school can adjust them.

Can we turn off class positions?

Yes. Positions and rankings are optional, per school. Grades, remarks and averages work either way.

Who owns our school’s data?

Your school does. We never sell data, never show adverts, and keep students’ data to the minimum the school needs.

Run next term on Ecole.

We are onboarding a small group of pilot schools. We do your first data import, train your staff and stay with you for the whole term.
