Customised school apps, built around your school.
Any app you want, built just for your school and exactly how you want it.
Designed specifically for you, your app will be unique and only yours.
No two schools are the same.
So why should their apps be?
Your school has its own events, its own forms and its own inside jokes about the tuck shop queue. An off-the-shelf platform makes you fit its mould. Customised school apps are built to fit yours.
- Type your school's name
- Pick your school colour
- Tap the features you want and watch your app build itself
Go on, have a play. This is how it starts.
This is just a taste. Our customised school apps can include whatever your school needs.

These are just a few of the customised school apps we build. Tell us what your school needs and we'll design an app specifically for you.
How we build your app
Building customised school apps takes four steps, from first chat to your app on parents' phones. You stay in charge of what goes in it, and we handle the rest.
Start with step 1- 1
Coffee and a chat
Tell us what your school needs its app to do, and who will use it. We'll bring the questions.

Launch day
We train your admin team, help you get parents on board, and stick around after you go live.
Why schools work with us
We already work with South African schools every day, so we know how a school term runs and how families here like to be kept in the loop. That's why our customised school apps fit the way your school already works.
Coding, robotics and AI training in schools is what we do. Apps are the next step.
We understand what's asked of teachers, which is why we built a CPTD tracker.
You'll deal with our team in Rosebank, Johannesburg, not a helpdesk overseas.
Questions about customised school apps
Send us a WhatsApp and a real person from our Rosebank team will get back to you.
WhatsApp usWill the app carry our school's name and colours?
Yes. All our customised school apps are built around your school's crest, colours and name, so parents see your school on their home screen rather than a generic platform.
Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. The app is built for both iPhone and Android phones, and staff can also use a web dashboard from any computer.
Can we choose what goes into our app?
Yes. With customised school apps, your school decides which features to include, from parent notices and forms to staff tools, portals and a CPTD tracker, and you can add more later.
How does the CPTD tracker work?
Teachers log professional development activities under SACE's three categories: teacher-initiated, school-initiated and externally initiated. The tracker shows progress towards the 150 points required in each three-year cycle, and school leaders can see an overview for the whole staff.
Do you help after the app launches?
Yes. We support all our customised school apps after launch. We train your admin team, help you roll the app out to parents, and stay available for support and updates after launch.
