02 The school year

The whole year, in the order your school lives it.

Each step hands its work to the next, so nothing is typed twice: the admitted student is already in the class list, the fee schedule and the mark sheet.

04 Made for Cameroon

It already knows how your school works.

Anglophone and francophone, public, mission and lay private, nursery to upper sixth. The official papers come out right the first time.

  1. 01
    Bilingual, official header

    Republic of Cameroon, the ministry, region and division, in English and French.

  2. 02
    Coefficients per series

    Each subject weighted for the class and series, with groups and subtotals.

  3. 03
    Six sequences, three terms

    Two sequences make a term; the annual average is built from all six.

  4. 04
    Rank and class figures

    Rank, class average, highest and lowest: computed, never typed.

  5. 05
    Council decision

    Promoted, repeat or dismissed, with honours and warnings.

  6. 06
    A code anyone can check

    Every report card can be verified online. Forged papers stop here.

05 For organisations

Run a whole network of schools.

Dioceses, missions and groups of private schools see every school they run in one place: results, fees, enrolment and staffing side by side, with one bill for the tools.

  • checkOpen new schools, or invite existing ones with a join code
  • checkA school joins only when its own principal agrees
  • checkNotices to every school at once
06 Trust

Four walls around your school's data.

  1. 01
    verified_userYour role, checked every time

    Every request is checked on our servers against your role in that school. The screen alone never decides.

  2. 02
    shield_lockA wall around each school

    Nobody reaches another school's data. An organisation sees a school only after its principal agrees.

  3. 03
    historyMarks that cannot be bent

    Published marks are locked; a change needs a reason and an approval, and every change is kept.

  4. 04
    qr_code_2Papers anyone can check

    Report cards, receipts and certificates carry a code that proves they are real.

gavelBuilt to Cameroon's personal-data law (No. 2024/017): parents' consent, minimum data, export and deletion on request.

07 Developers

Every tool ships with its own API.

Other schools and school-management systems can use any Ardesko tool: scoped keys, signed webhooks, embeddable views and a guide for each tool.

09 Questions

What schools ask us first.

Still wondering about something? Tell us about your school and we will answer, or show you Ardesko with your own classes.

Write to usarrow_forward
01Do parents and students need a smartphone?add

No. The portals work on any browser, and important messages (absences, results, fees due) can go by SMS to any phone number the school has.

02Can we keep printing report cards?add

Yes. Report cards print class by class in the official layout, and the same report card is published online for parents if the school wants.

03What if the internet goes off?add

Registers and marks can be filled on a phone without a connection; they are sent when the connection comes back, without doubling anything.

04Who owns our data?add

The school. You can export everything at any time, and nothing is shared with anyone else.

05Can we start in the middle of the year?add

Yes. Import your students and marks so far from spreadsheets and carry on from the current sequence.

06Is Timetable Studio included?add

Timetable Studio is one of the tools. Your classes, subjects and teachers flow into it, and the timetables show in every portal.

10 Request a tool

Tell us what to build next.

Describe the job that eats your staff's time. We read every request, and the tools schools ask for most are built first.

  1. 01
    We read it within two days

    Every request reaches the Ardesko team, not a robot.

  2. 02
    We call to understand the job

    How your school does it today, on paper or in a spreadsheet.

  3. 03
    The most-asked tools come first

    You hear from us when yours is being built, and you can try it first.
