Hello. We made running a school a little easier.

HSMS quietly takes care of the fees, the marks, the reports and the parent updates — so your teachers can teach, your bursar can breathe, and you can lead. Built right here in Zimbabwe, for schools like yours.

Testimonials

Schools using HSMS, in their own words.

What changed when they switched.

“I used to chase fees by hand. Now parents pay before I open the gate, and the receipt prints itself.”
BursarSecondary school
“The AI scheme generator gave my Form 3 Maths team a full term's plan in twenty minutes. Twenty.”
TeacherCambridge school
“Our auditors stopped asking for spreadsheet exports. They open HSMS and tick the boxes themselves.”
HeadTrust school
“Marking attendance offline on my phone, then watching it sync — this is what I always wanted.”

FAQ

The questions we get most often.

If yours isn't here, send us a message.

Yes. Your data is private to your school, kept in secure cloud storage, and backed up daily. Only the people you authorise can see it.

Most schools are live within one week. We do the heavy lifting — setting up your classes, subjects, fees and staff from your existing records — then train the people who'll use it daily.

Yes. Teachers can mark attendance and exam scores even when there's no network. Everything saves and syncs automatically once they're back online.

Yes. The Teacher, Parent and Student apps are designed to run smoothly on everyday Android phones, even on slow connections.

Yes. The bursar's office can record any payment method — cash, EcoCash, OneMoney, Mukuru, bank transfer — and parents get an instant confirmation.

The Parent app is designed to feel familiar from the first tap. No password to remember — parents sign in with their phone number. Most figure it out in under two minutes.

That's exactly when it shines. Bulk mark entry, automatic class positioning, comment suggestions and one-click report books take the pressure off teachers and HOD's at the busiest time of the term.

Your data is yours. You can export everything at any time, in standard formats. We don't lock you in.
