Everything included
One system. Every department.
No more juggling spreadsheets and paper registers. ZARODA brings your whole school online.
Academic Core
Teachers enter marks online — mark lists and CBC report cards generate automatically, with real-time analytics. Learners, streams, attendance, and the KICD-compliant timetable generator across all grade bands.
Rubric Learning Videos
Selected CBC sub-strands in the digital assessment books link to matching learning videos — accessed from the assessment books themselves — giving teachers and learners targeted teaching and learning materials.
Finance & Fees
M-Pesa STK push collection, auto-reconciliation, FPE/FDJSE/FDSSE fund tracking, and payroll with statutory deductions.
AI Professional Records
Generate KICD-aligned Schemes of Work, Lesson Plans, and Lesson Notes in seconds, powered by ZARODA AI. HOI approval built in.
Communication
SMS via Africa's Talking, email, WhatsApp, and push notifications. Personalised bulk fee reminders to parents.
Library
Full catalogue with barcode borrowing and returns.
Sports & Championships
School teams, AI talent analytics, and a bridge to ZARODA Sports for cross-school championships — free.
Discipline & Guidance
Incident recording, confidential counselling, behaviour assessments, and QASO-ready reports.
