Built for the whole school

A single app parents, learners and staff actually want to open.

Connect One replaces scattered group chats, paper notices and email chains with one clean, branded place for the people who matter — and a plan that fits how your school grows.

For parents

One trusted feed for notices, events and payments. No more lost paper slips or WhatsApp chaos.

For learners

Schedules, school news and community updates — accessible from the school's own branded app.

For staff

Reach every parent at once, run the school calendar and ship updates without IT bottlenecks.

For community

Local businesses, sponsors and alumni stay connected through directory listings and adverts.

Modules

Start with core communication, then add revenue, academics & community tools.

Every module below maps directly to the tenant module catalog used by the platform plan console, so what schools see here is exactly what gets switched on — packages just decide which are live.

Messaging

Communication center, notifications, and chat.

Calendar

School calendar, event schedules, and calendar APIs.

Connects

School feed, blog categories, and blog posts.

School Shop

Shopping, products, services, carts, and sales orders.

Directory

Business listings, affiliates, and business directory content.

Advertising

Advertisements and advertising tiers. Free tiers work on their own; paid placements need School Shop to take payment.

Donations

Donation campaigns, giving, and donor receipts.

Wallet

Parent wallet balances and top-ups.

Club Management

Affiliated groups — clubs, academies, and fundraising programmes that trade under the school.

Multiple bank accounts & custom gateway

More than one bank account, or your own payment gateway (PayFast, Paystack, Peach, Stripe).

Fee Manager

Fee schedules, ad-hoc charges, learner accounts, and statements.

Aftercare

After-school care programmes and enrolments. Monthly billing requires Fee Manager.

Academics

Subjects, classes, mark entry, achievement scales, and report cards.

Tutoring

External tutors, tutoring groups, sessions, and tutoring fees.

Live Chat

Real-time one-to-one and group chat.

Google Calendar

Two-way sync between the school calendar and Google Workspace.

Translations

Multi-language content; additional languages are metered by plan.

Packages

Rollout

From signup request to live school tenant.

The platform already supports public signup requests, administrator review, tenant creation, domain reservation, plan assignment, branding and provisioning jobs.

Submit school details
01

Submit the school request

Capture the school name, slug, requested domain, contact person, email, phone, and notes.

02

Review and reserve

The platform team reviews the request, checks for duplicate slugs or domains, and reserves the primary tenant domain.

03

Assign the package

The chosen plan's module entitlements are applied so the school receives the right module set.

04

Provision and launch

The school runtime is provisioned, branding and support links are configured, and the school is prepared for parent rollout.

Questions

What schools usually ask before signing up.

Can we use our own domain?

Yes. The signup form asks for a requested domain, and the platform reserves the primary tenant domain during approval.

Can modules be added later?

Yes. Plans and platform overrides are managed separately, so a school can start small and expand when ready.

What does the signup form need?

School name, preferred slug, requested domain, contact name, contact email, optional phone number, and notes.

Who manages the school after launch?

The platform team provisions the tenant, then school administrators manage local content, branding, and enabled features.

Next step

Ready to package your school's Connect One rollout?

Send the school name, preferred slug, requested domain and contact details. The platform team will review the request and follow up on the best package fit.
