Academics & grading
Classes, subjects, curriculum, lesson plans, and gradebooks with configurable grade scales and report cards.
School management, reimagined for West Africa
One platform for your entire school — every stakeholder included.
Academics, fees, HR, admissions, online learning, and AI tools — plus real self-service portals for students, guardians, and staff. All in your school's currency, on your own subdomain. Replace the spreadsheets, paper registers, and scattered WhatsApp groups.
No credit card required for the Starter plan · Set up in minutes
Still running your school on spreadsheets, paper registers, a dozen WhatsApp groups — and a portal your students and parents never open?
All-in-one platform
Every part of running a school, in one place
Stop stitching together five different tools. Kridence covers the full operation — academic to administrative.
Attendance & timetable
Daily and per-period attendance, including geo-tagged check-in, plus full class timetables and venue scheduling.
Admissions
Public application forms for students and staff, with a full review-and-approval pipeline before enrollment.
Fees & finance
Invoicing, online collection, budgets, vendors, scholarships, and expense approval workflows.
HR & payroll
Staff records, leave, salary structures, loans, reimbursements, payslips, and performance reviews.
Inventory & procurement
Track stock levels, suppliers, and every stock movement, with low-stock alerts before you run out.
Library
A full catalog, borrow/return tracking, and overdue alerts — with self-service borrowing for students.
Computer-based testing
Objective, true/false, multi-select, and theory exams with auto-grading and a shared question bank.
Hostel & clinic
Boarding house allocation and health/clinic visit logging — both visible to students in their own portal.
Communication
A school-wide noticeboard, direct messaging, in-app chat, and push/email notifications.
Bulk import & export
CSV import with column mapping, and one-click export, across every module.
Reports & dashboards
Role-specific dashboards with real charts, plus financial and academic reports you can actually read.
Built for everyone who touches the school
Not just an admin tool — three portals in one login system
Most school software stops at the admin office. Kridence gives students, guardians, and staff their own dedicated view — so the noticeboard, fee balance, and timetable actually reach them.
Attendance, results, courses, library, hostel, health, timetable, tasks, and certificates — all in one place a student actually checks.
An overview of every child, per-child results and attendance, and fee balances they can pay online — no more chasing a paper invoice.
Class schedule, leave requests, payslips, performance reviews, and lesson tools — a real workspace, not just a login screen.
AI-assisted, not AI-gimmicky
AI and online learning where they save real time
Not a chatbot bolted on for show — AI built into the specific tasks that eat up staff hours, plus a full digital classroom for remote and blended learning.
Exam generation
Generate objective, theory, and multi-select questions from your syllabus, lesson plans, or an uploaded document — reviewed and edited before use.
Report comments
Draft personalized, well-written report card comments from a student's grades and attendance in seconds.
Class analytics
Plain-language insights on class performance and attendance trends — the headline a teacher would otherwise spend an hour finding.
Student AI tutor
A study companion for students, scoped to their own coursework, available right inside their portal.
Online courses
Video lessons with progress tracking and completion certificates issued automatically.
Live classes
Real-time video classes your teachers can host and students join directly from their portal.
Real payment rails, not a placeholder
Get paid online, in the gateway parents already trust
Fee collection connects directly to the payment providers your families already use — no manual bank-transfer reconciliation, no spreadsheet chasing.
Paystack
Flutterwave
Paddle
Bank transfer
Built for the region, not adapted to it
Made for schools across West Africa
Most school software is built for the West and localized as an afterthought. Kridence starts from what schools here actually need.
- Real local currencies. Naira, Cedi, CFA franc, Leone, and more — set once, shown correctly everywhere, with the actual currency symbol, not a three-letter code.
- Your own subdomain.
yourschool.kridence.comfrom day one, with custom domains available as you grow. - Pricing that fits. Plans scale with your school's size, not a flat Silicon-Valley price tag.
- Every school level. Nursery, primary, secondary, and university — the terminology and structure adapt to your school type.
Enterprise-grade, without the enterprise setup
Your data, isolated and under your control
Every school is a separate tenant. Choose how isolated you want to be, and control exactly who can see what.
- Choose your isolation level. Shared pool to start, a dedicated database, a dedicated managed instance, or even your own external database — upgrade anytime.
- Dynamic roles & permissions. Build custom roles and control exactly what each one can see and do, from a settings screen — no redeploy, no developer required.
- White-label branding. Your logo, your colors, your own custom domain — students and parents never see "Kridence."
- Works offline. Installable as an app, with offline support for spotty connections — a bad network doesn't stop the school day.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do students and parents get their own login?
Yes. Every student and guardian gets a portal login separate from the admin system — students see their own results, attendance, courses, and library activity; guardians see an overview across all their children, including fee balances.
How can parents pay fees online?
Fee collection is wired directly to Paystack, Flutterwave, and Paddle, so parents can pay from the guardian portal with the methods they already use, in addition to manual bank transfer.
Can I customize roles and permissions for my staff?
Yes. Roles and permissions are fully configurable from a settings screen — create custom roles for bursars, department heads, or exam officers and control exactly what each one can access, with no developer or redeploy involved.
Can I use my own domain instead of a subdomain?
Yes. Every school starts on a free subdomain (yourschool.kridence.com), and custom domains are available as an upgrade — point portal.yourschool.com straight at your account.
Is my school's data isolated from other schools?
Yes. Every school is a separate tenant with its own isolated data. Higher plans add a fully dedicated database, a dedicated managed instance, or even your own external database if you need stronger isolation guarantees.
What currencies are supported?
Set your school's operating currency once in Settings — Naira, Cedi, CFA franc (West and Central African), Leone, Dalasi, Liberian Dollar, and several others — and every amount across the platform displays in that currency automatically.
Can I switch plans as my school grows?
Yes, upgrade or downgrade at any time from your billing settings. Your data and configuration carry over — nothing is lost switching tiers.
Do you support universities, not just K-12 schools?
Yes. Set your school type to University during setup and the platform switches to faculties, departments, course offerings, weighted GPA, and semester-based terminology throughout.
