For the entire ops suite
§ 01 — The workspace
School ops and student apps, one platform.
Attendance, grades, fees, lesson notes, and the learning apps share one identity and one source of truth. No four-app shuffle, no re-keying the same roster five times, no integration held together with tape — just one workspace your staff sign into once.
02
Attendance
For roll call
Fast roll call from the back of class, with optional face recognition for attendance marking at the gate or in class where a school enables it.
03
Gradebook
For subject teachers
Assignments, scores, term reports. Grade-weighting that matches your school's curriculum — not a curriculum that matches the software.
04
Finance
For bursars & admins
Fee structures, invoices, collections, receipts, waivers, trial balance, and student statements, with a finance gate separate from classroom roles.
05
Lesson Plans
For teachers & heads
Author, submit, approve. Drafts to the head teacher; approval workflow built in. Print-ready lesson notes, every Friday.
06
CBT
For exam papers, online
Author quizzes once, deliver to the whole class, auto-grade multiple-choice answers. Built for the classroom, not the exam hall.
07
Simu Primary
For Primary 1–6
Maths and Science across the NaCCA primary curriculum, with playful interactions designed for shared classroom devices.
08
vMaths
For visual maths practice
Guided visual mathematics lessons with fraction bars, number lines, shapes, and practice packs students can manipulate.
09
Stories App
For reading
A student reading shelf with levelled stories, progress, and illustrated reading experiences that make literacy feel alive.
10
Simu JHS
For JHS 1–3
Junior-high curriculum coverage with diagnostic quizzes, BECE-style practice, and topic mastery that students can see.
11
Simu Science Lab
For Science
A virtual science lab. Build circuits, watch refraction, set up experiments, and observe results without waiting for equipment.
12
Student Portal
For students
One hub. Today's classes, due quizzes, last term's grades, and quick launches into the learning apps assigned to each student.
13
Parent Portal
For parents · phone-first
Attendance, grades, and the day-to-day at a glance — designed for parents who'll mostly check this on their phone, on slow networks.
14
Teacher Portal
For teachers
A teacher's day, in one screen: take attendance, grade work, post a lesson plan, launch a CBT — without four tabs and three logins.
School apps share SSO. No separate logins.
Entitlements, role gates, and per-user assignments decide what each person sees.
The reason to care is what students get to use. The learning apps take the front row; the school workspace matters because it gives those apps clean identity, class assignment, permissions, payments, and support around them.
§ 02 — Built for Ghanaian schools
For schools as they actually are.
Most school software is designed for a school that doesn't exist — one with unlimited bandwidth, parents on iPads, and an IT department in the basement. Simusim is built for the school that has none of those things and still needs to run a tight ship.
‖
Offline once downloaded.
Lessons cache on first run and work through dropped connectivity. Every screen assumes a parent on a mid-range Android, on 3G, on a bus — mobile is the desktop here.
¶
NaCCA-aligned learning.
Simu Primary maps to NaCCA Basic 1–6, Simu JHS covers the BECE years, and Simu Science Lab is built from the ground up for the NaCCA curriculum.
₵
Free ops. Pay only for apps.
The operations suite is free for schools that onboard their students. You only pay for the optional learning apps your students use — bank transfer or mobile money, recorded by our team from the source of truth, no Stripe webhook gating your access.
✂
Paper still matters.
Login cards print on A4 in pre-cut grids. Term reports print to PDF without a designer's intervention. Class lists are made for the photocopier on the corridor.
§ 03 — Done-with-you onboarding
From spreadsheet to pilot workspace
in under fifteen minutes.
Our staff onboards your school personally. In a focused setup call we configure your slug, validate your roster, generate PINs, and prepare a print-ready stack of login cards. Card distribution and the first sign-in happen on your school's timeline — we're on the other end of every question.
I
Set your slug.
Name, slug, country, term start. A short setup form, with Ghana-first defaults for phone numbers, currency, and primary & JHS school levels.
Workspace provisioned
II
Upload your roster.
One spreadsheet. Students, parents, teachers, and the parent ↔ child links. We validate the data, dry-run the import, and let you fix the broken rows in place.
Users created
III
Generate PINs.
We mint a unique code & PIN per student. Parents get a printed PIN letter with their child's card. Teachers get a phone-PIN walkthrough. Admins pick their password & enable MFA.
Credentials issued
IV
Print login cards.
Login cards exported as a single PDF, eight to a page. Apps assigned to classes. We send you a Monday-morning sign-in test you can do with a kid in five seconds.

§ 04 — Security & tenancy
Quietly uncompromising.
Schools handle the data of minors. We treat that as the responsibility it is — with a model that physically prevents one school's data from touching another's, even if we wrote a buggy query. Belt, braces, and a third belt for good measure.
-
I.
One org per school. Always.Every row in the database is stamped with an
org_id. Every query is filtered by it. PostgreSQL row-level security enforces this at the engine level — not just the app. There is no "shared" data because there is no shared data. -
II.
Authorization, twice.At the API edge: "is this user allowed to call this endpoint?" At the data layer: "does the row they're touching belong to their school?" Either failing aborts the request. We don't trust a single check with the data of children.
-
III.
PIN-aware lockout.A 4-digit PIN is, by maths, weak. So Simusim treats every failed PIN attempt as serious: 8 strikes lock the account for 30 minutes, every attempt is logged, and school admins can review login activity for their org.
-
IV.
Entitlements live outside the token.A lapsed subscription doesn't wait for tokens to expire. App access is checked against the Platform API at session start, so overdue or reactivated schools follow the subscription state without stale token claims — a payment lapse never holds a child's records hostage.
-
V.
Audit log, by default.Key account, payment, entitlement, and parent-child relationship changes are written to the audit log with who, when, from where, and what changed.
§ 05 — Questions schools ask
Asked at every walkthrough.
The honest answers to what heads, bursars, and proprietors ask us first — so you can bring the harder questions to the walkthrough.
What does Simusim cost a school?
The operations suite — admin console, attendance, gradebook, report cards, finance, portals, and messaging — is 100% free, for every school, with no trial clock. You pay only for the optional learning apps you enable, per app, per term, and for the SMS you send from a prepaid wallet. We'll give you the current price list at your walkthrough — no obligation.
We already manage with WhatsApp, Excel, and a paper register. Why change?
Each of those tools is fine alone — the cost is the seams between them. Someone re-types the register into the report cards, reconciles fees against a notebook, and chases parents one by one. Simusim gives every student, parent, and teacher one identity, so attendance, grades, fees, and messages flow through one system without re-entry.
Our roster is in a notebook. Can we still start?
Yes — that's normal. Bring whatever you have: a notebook photo, a sample class, a spreadsheet. Onboarding is done with you, not handed to you, and a pilot workspace takes about fifteen minutes to set up.
What happens when the internet is down?
The student learning apps work offline once downloaded, and parent messaging falls back to SMS, which needs no smartphone and no data plan. The admin console is built for slow connections — light pages that work on 3G.
Who owns the school's data?
The school. Every record is bound to your school at the database layer, and you can request a full export at any time. We never sell data and there are no ads — see the privacy policy and the security section above.
Do teachers need training?
Most teachers are marking attendance within minutes — logins are printed cards and PINs, and each screen does one job at a time. We train staff during onboarding, there's a teacher's guide, and a page made for your staff.
Book a walkthrough · 15 minutes · with our team
Come see the platform your school already deserves.
Bring a roster — even a sample class is enough. We'll show your school login path, the admin console, the printed cards, finance, the portals, and the learning apps your staff and parents will actually use.
