Schools on KD Essence
Built for Nigerian Schools
KD Essence brings together academic management, digital learning, live examinations, and parent engagement on a single platform, with optional add-ons for school fees and the books, parent alerts, campus operations and government returns. Purpose-built for Nigerian schools, from Nursery through Tertiary.
Deliver rich, multimedia lessons and interactive exercises across every subject, from Primary through Tertiary. Teachers build content once; students access it anytime, on any device.
Schedule, conduct, and auto-grade computer-based exams in real time. Monitor active sessions live from the admin dashboard and publish results the moment they're ready.
Generate print-ready term report cards in multiple professional designs. Scores, averages, class positions, and teacher remarks are all computed and formatted automatically.
Parents receive live attendance alerts, view term results, download report cards, and track their child's full academic progress — all from a dedicated mobile-optimised portal.
Manage academic levels, class arms, subject assignments, teacher rosters, and timetables from a single admin hub. Onboard a new school and be fully operational within minutes.
Push, email and in-app alerts keep every stakeholder informed — attendance, new assignments, exam schedules, and school announcements — and each person chooses which alerts they receive.
Every student and staff member carries a printed QR ID card. Trained gate checkers scan them in and out at entry and exit — attendance is recorded the moment it happens, not self-reported, and parents see arrival times in real time.
Give teachers a head start: generate a full lesson, exercise, or exam from a topic and a set of learning objectives in seconds, ready to review and publish.
Installs straight from the browser like a native app, keeps working through a weak connection, and syncs the moment it's back online — no app store required.
One platform spans every stage — Nursery, Primary, Junior & Senior Secondary, and Tertiary (100–400 Level) — each with its own grading scale and terms, so a growing school never has to switch systems.
Every student gets a personal daily affirmation and Real-Life mentorship message, tailored to their own Royal Title — King, Queen, Prince, or Princess — right on their dashboard each morning.
A curated library of educational audio, organised by subject and academic level, so students can listen and learn anywhere — even offline.
Set fees by class and term, with sibling, staff and scholarship discounts, then issue every bill in one go. Parents pay online and the money settles straight into your school's own bank account.
Split fees into parts with their own due dates. Parents get polite email and push reminders before and after each date, so the bursar stops chasing.
Every payment gets a PDF receipt with a QR code. Anyone can scan it to confirm it's genuine, so a fake receipt no longer gets past the school.
See what's collected, what's still owed and what's overdue, class by class. A "Who owes" list puts each parent's call and WhatsApp link one tap away.
Fees post to the school's books by themselves. Record spending with a photo of the receipt, and get an income & spending report and a balance sheet that checks itself.
Give the bursar, vice principal or secretary exactly the access they need. Every change is logged with who, what and when, and the school can export all of its data at any time.
Included in every plan. Plan the term, test fairly and see exactly where each child needs help.
Learning objectives for every subject and class, with 1,250 NERDC objectives ready to import in one click, plus Cambridge and American curricula if you teach them. Teaching weeks are worked out from your term dates, and the principal sees every Monday which classes are behind.
Each student gets their own shuffle of questions. Answers save as they are picked and survive a reload or power cut, and the JAMB-style screen has a question grid and calculator. Scores reach the result sheet only after a preview.
Every marked answer counts towards its topic, so teachers see who needs help with what. Practice rounds get harder or easier as the student answers, even offline.
Teachers mark one question across the whole class against a marking guide. Where the school has AI on, it suggests marks with a reason, and only the marks the teacher accepts count.
Titration, pendulum and circuit labs at JSS and SSS level. Every student gets their own readings, and calculations are marked from their own numbers.
Students from the last junior class to SSS 3 choose target courses, check their subjects against JAMB requirements, and see where their grades fall short of a credit.
Know where every child is, how they are doing and who is collecting them.
If a child is marked absent or has not scanned in by the gate cut-off, parents get a push and email alert that morning, and an update if the child arrives.
Merits and demerits that count towards houses. Students check in on their mood each week and can report a concern, with or without their name, and counsellors keep private case notes.
A weekly list of students showing warning signs, such as falling attendance, slipping grades, overdue fees or parents who have gone quiet, with the reasons and a next step.
Health profiles with allergies and medicines, a visit log that alerts parents when a child is sent home, and timed medicine rounds.
Approved collectors with photos and one-time codes at the gate. Bus attendants scan children on and off, and boarders' exeat is approved by parent and school.
Children pay at the canteen with their ID card, even offline, with daily limits and allergy checks. Stores track uniforms, books and supplies with approved stocktakes.
Grow your teachers, keep the staffroom running and file returns without retyping.
Monthly payroll with PAYE and pension worked out, staff loans and payslips. A cash forecast to the end of term warns the bursar on Mondays if money will run short.
Observe lessons against a rubric, agree up to three coaching targets, and give every teacher a right of reply.
Staff ask for leave, and when a teacher is away, cover is suggested period by period. The timetable generator builds a clash-free timetable from your bells and teaching loads.
Teachers log training and certificates, get TRCN licence reminders and download a TRCN pack. When a teacher leaves, their classes pass on in one go and everything they made stays searchable.
Your own careers page, applications with CVs, interviews scored by a panel and a demo lesson, then a hire that sets up the new teacher's account.
The Annual School Census return filled in from your own records, with PDF and Excel downloads. Owners of several schools see pupils, attendance, fees and results across all of them.
