Why schools in this region choose SchoolBased Global

  • English, French, Portuguese and Arabic

    Serve anglophone, francophone, lusophone and North African schools from one platform, with each user choosing their own language.

  • Fees in NGN, KES, GHS, XOF and more

    Each school sets its own currency and number format, so fee invoices, collections and balance sheets match local practice.

  • Your terms and fiscal calendar

    Set the timezone, date format and fiscal-year start month per school, and plan class and exam routines by session.

  • SMS that reaches every parent

    Send attendance, fee and urgent notices by SMS through Twilio or any HTTP SMS gateway, so families without smartphones stay informed.

  • Single school or SaaS

    Run one campus, or host many schools as a SaaS business from the same codebase with per-school settings, subdomains and billing.

  • Host where your data must live

    Self-host on your own server or a local cloud region with Docker, Nginx and PM2, so student records stay in your country.
