Software for Kenyan schools
Anademy
Ananke + Academy. Twelve tools for the parts of running a school that happen after the bell: fees, CBC assessment, parents, timetables, buses, stores and staff.
Built for CBC, M-Pesa and the reality of a Kenyan staffroom, not adapted from somewhere else.
Why the name
Ananke is the agency behind it. Academy is what every school is trying to be. Anademy is the two joined: one family of products that share the same learner record, so a payment, a report card and a bus check-in all point to the same child.
The line-up, as a school week
Start with one period. Most schools begin with Fees and Report Cards and add the rest term by term.
