The school office for Nigerian schools

Run the school.
Atlas carries the office.

Results, fees, exams, parents, the gate, the bus and your website, all in one place, on any phone.

Your money goes to your bank

Fees parents pay online go through Monnify straight to your school’s own account.

Your records are yours alone

Each school sees only its own records. Teachers see only their own classes.

Children are kept safe

The gate checks who may collect each child, and a lost ID card stops working the moment it is reported.

A person to talk to

WhatsApp us on +234 903 717 2792. A real person answers.

Remember results week?

Press one button. Watch results week disappear.

Teachers enter their scores once. Atlas adds them up, grades them, ranks the class and makes every report card.

Done. That was results week.

The scores are in. Now the long part.

Totals, grades and positions for every subject and every class, then a report card for each pupil. Usually by hand, late at night.

Result PINs

Your results can earn your school money.

Sell result PIN cards at your own price. Atlas keeps ₦100 a card, and the rest is your school’s.

₦1,000

To your school, every term

₦252,000

That is ₦756,000 over three terms.

280 PINs × (your price − ₦100), each term. Not every parent buys one: set the share you expect. Cards bought online also pay Monnify’s charge.

These are screens from Atlas today, on our demo school, Aster Grove College. Your school gets the same.

Aster Grove College's website on a computer: a photo of pupils in class, the words Lessons are on, Period 1 of 9, and buttons to apply for JSS 1 and follow a class
The same school website on a phone, showing the school day live

The school’s own website, made by Atlas. It knows the school day as it happens, takes applications and answers parents’ questions, and it updates itself from the office.

Atlas · Office
The Atlas office: school set-up 90 percent done with the next step, Staff records, and the parts of the office below, Attendance, Messages to parents and School fees

The office the head sees. The set-up guide shows how far along the school is and the one next step to take.

The scan page on a phone: the meal is breakfast, and typing 1 in the admission number box lists the one pupil whose number ends in 1

A queue that moves.

Any phone’s camera reads pupils’ ID cards in class, at the dining hall and in the library. Forgot the card? Type the last digits of the admission number, or a name. A beep says done, two beeps say already done, a low buzz says stop.

Nothing missed

A day at your school.

From the first bus to results night, everyone knows what they need to know, as it happens.

07:20School bus

18 children on Bus 2

The attendant marks each child on at their stop, even with no signal. The office can see who is on the bus.

ID cards

Cards that keep children safe, and queues short.

Every card carries a code that says whether it is genuine. Try it.

Who sees what when a card is scanned

A stranger who scans a lost card learns almost nothing. Your staff see everything.

No card? Three digits, and the queue moves on

Lunch is being served. Type the last digits of a pupil’s number, or part of a name, then press Enter or tap the pupil.

    Try 117: two pupils have numbers ending in 117, so Atlas asks which.

    Everything else

    49 parts of the school office. Turn on the ones you need.

    They all share the same pupils, classes and staff, so nothing is typed twice. The timetable fits any school: sections, Saturday classes, Week A and B, doubles and rooms.

    Getting started

    From one Excel workbook to a running school.

    1

    Fill in one workbook

    Classes, staff and pupils, one sheet each. Subjects are ticked from the NERDC lists, so there is nothing to type.

    2

    Upload it with your photos

    Atlas checks every row and shows you anything to fix before it loads. Or send it to us and we set your school up for you.

    3

    Follow the guide to 100%

    The office shows how far along you are and the one next step to take.

    Safety and your records

    Pupils’ records are safe with us.

    What we do with your school’s information, in plain words.

    Kept apart

    Each school’s records are kept apart from every other school’s.

    Teachers see only their classes

    A teacher sees only their own classes and subjects. Fees, accounts and payroll are for the administrators you choose.

    No card details kept

    Parents pay through Monnify. Atlas never sees or keeps their card details.

    Photos only with consent

    Atlas puts a pupil’s name or photo on the school website only when a parent has agreed.

    ID cards that protect

    Strangers who scan a card see a short name, the class and the school, never the full name or admission number. A lost card stops working the moment it is reported.

    Pick-up checked

    The gate checks that the person collecting a child is on that child’s list.

    Pricing

    Clear prices, in naira.

    Most charges are paid only when something is used, and most are paid by parents, not the school.

    Questions

    What proprietors ask us.

    Do we need to install anything?

    No. Atlas works in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Parents can add it to their phone’s home screen like an app.

    What does Atlas cost?

    The school office is ₦500 a pupil a term. Founding schools: your first term is free. Result PINs, SMS and paying fees online are charged only when used, and most of those are paid by parents. Every price is in the Pricing section above.

    Who holds the money parents pay?

    Your school does. Online payments go through Monnify straight to your school’s own bank account.

    Can we bring our records from Excel?

    Yes. Fill in the set-up workbook, or choose your pupils’ Excel file, and Atlas reads it row by row. It shows you any row it cannot read before anything is saved.

    How long does setting up take?

    As long as filling one workbook: classes, staff and pupils, one sheet each. Atlas checks every row before it loads, and the set-up guide shows the next step until you reach 100%. Or send us the workbook and we load it for you.

    Our network is poor. Will Atlas still work?

    Atlas runs on phones over mobile data. The bus register keeps marking children with no signal and sends when the signal returns, and parents get results on their phones, so nobody has to travel.

    Will it follow our grading and our report card?

    Yes. You set your own CA and exam parts, your grade scale and your comments, and report cards print with your school’s name, logo and motto.

    Do parents need a smartphone?

    Not for messages: SMS reaches any phone. Results can be checked with a PIN on your school’s website from any phone with a browser, and you can still print report cards.

    Is pupils’ information safe?

    Each school sees only its own records, and teachers see only their own classes. Atlas puts a pupil’s name or photo on the website only when a parent has agreed, and a stranger who scans an ID card sees only a short name, the class and the school.

    What if a pupil loses their ID card?

    Report it in the office and it stops working at once: scanned, it says do not accept this card. The new card has a new code, and you can charge a replacement fee.

    Can we try it before we decide?

    Yes. Try a real exam paper now, with no sign-up. Or message us on WhatsApp and we will show you your own school set up.

    Who helps us when we are stuck?

    A person on WhatsApp, +234 903 717 2792. Inside the office, the set-up guide always shows the one next step.

    No question matches “”. Ask us on WhatsApp, and a person will answer.
