We have been listening. And we have been building.
Two features that teachers, students, and administrators across Kenya have been asking for are now live on Cloud School System. You do not need a new app. You do not need a separate login. They are sitting right inside the platform your school already uses.
Here is what changed, what it does, and how to start using it today.
Lesson Scheduling: Every Lesson, Planned and Recorded
Teaching without a record of what has been covered is guesswork. A teacher starts the term with a full syllabus. By week six, without a tracking system, nobody is entirely sure which topics the class has covered and which ones got skipped.
The Lesson Scheduling module fixes that. Every lesson gets logged. Every topic gets marked as covered or pending. The record lives in the cloud, not in a notebook that gets lost at the end of term.
What teachers can do now
- Log lesson plans before class and mark them complete after
- Track syllabus coverage per class, per subject, and per teacher
- Update records from a phone, tablet, or laptop, whether at school or at home
- Give school leadership a live view of curriculum progress across all classes
This module sits inside the same Academic Suite your school already uses for grades, report cards, and timetabling. Nothing new to learn. The interface is familiar. The benefit is immediate.
NEW FEATURE 02
LMS: A Full Online Learning Module, Built Into Your School
The new Learning Management System is a complete online learning environment. It lives inside Cloud School System. No third-party app. No separate subscription for the core module. No switching between platforms.
It gives your school four new capabilities.
1. Assignments and quizzes, digital from start to finish
Teachers build assessments inside the system, set deadlines, and send them to specific classes or groups. Students submit online. Teachers mark online. Every submission, every score, and every deadline is tracked automatically. No printed papers. No missing worksheets.
2. Notes and video lessons students can access anytime
Teachers upload typed notes or recorded video lessons. Students access them at any time, from any device. For students who missed a class, need to revise before an exam, or learn better at their own pace, this matters a great deal.
3. Short courses, paid or free, for staff and students
Any teacher or department head can create a structured short course inside the system. Set it as free for all students, or price it for external learners. Schools that create strong course content now have a direct way to share it, and earn from it, without leaving the platform.
This is a new income stream that most Kenyan schools have not had access to before. See the full list of what is possible on the modules page.
4. AI helps students revise what they got wrong
When a student fails a quiz or assignment, the built-in AI steps in. It focuses specifically on the questions the student got wrong and helps them work through the material again. The help is targeted, not generic. It is available at any hour. And it does not require the teacher to be online.
This is one of the more significant additions to Cloud School System’s features. It reduces the gap between students who get extra help and those who do not.
Who benefits
Teachers: Less time marking physical papers. Instant sight of who submitted and who did not. One click to share revision notes with the whole class.
Students: They learn at their own pace. When they struggle, the AI focuses on the exact area they are stuck on. No more generic revision guides that cover everything and help with nothing.

500+ SCHOOLS
Why Kenyan Schools Trust Cloud School System
Cloud School System works in over 500 schools across Kenya. Private primary schools on CBC. High schools on 8-4-4. Colleges on IGCSE. Every feature we build comes from conversations with the schools already on the platform.
Lesson Scheduling and the LMS are no different. Schools asked for them. We built them. They are live. That is the pace we work at.
