School management software for Ghana.
A Ghanaian school's year runs in three terms, ends in the BECE or the WASSCE, and is paid for in a mix of mobile money, bank transfer and cash handed over at the gate. Each of those leaves a different kind of evidence, and most schools reconcile them by hand at the end of term. Synthixx Campus gives the bursar one place to record all three against the same pupil, and gives the parent a portal that shows what was received.
School management software in Ghana, in short
Synthixx Campus is school management software for schools in Ghana. It keeps fees, attendance with same-morning parent alerts, results, timetable, staff and payroll, and parent portals in one account, with every branch in it. It is priced per school from $49 a month, not per student, and a paid plan starts with a three-day free trial.
What a school in Ghana gets out of it
Mobile money, bank and cash in one ledger
Every payment is recorded against one pupil with its method and reference, so a family that paid half by mobile money and half in cash has one balance rather than two.
Preparing for the BECE and WASSCE
Class tests, mock examinations and terminal results are entered the same way and kept across years, so a candidate's history is in one place when the examination year comes.
Three terms, kept apart
The fee period is a name you choose, so a term's fee is generated once and carried forward honestly.
A school year with a September start, in three terms
Schools in Ghana work to a September start, in three terms. Synthixx Campus lets each school set the month its year begins, what it calls a year group, and the currency its families pay in, so the academic-year label, ID-card expiry and promotions follow the school’s own calendar instead of a default borrowed from somewhere else.
Two currencies, kept apart
The plan is billed in US dollars. Your families pay you in Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), which is set once in Settings: every fee, receipt, payroll line and report then shows GHS rather than a symbol borrowed from somewhere else. The two never touch — we do not convert, we do not collect your fees, and what you charge a parent is between you and them.
Everything in one account
Fees
Fee heads per class and per campus, discounts written down as discounts, payments recorded by method and reference, printed receipts, and an arrears list that matches the ledger.
Attendance
Marked in class or scanned at the gate, with the parent told within seconds — absent, on leave or arrived.
Exams and results
Marks per subject, grades, position and a printed result card, published to families the moment they are ready.
Timetable and homework
Periods per class and per teacher, with clashes caught when the timetable is written. Homework and submissions sit beside it.
Staff, HR and payroll
Staff records, attendance, leave, salaries and payslips, instead of a separate spreadsheet nobody else can open.
Records and certificates
Documents in a private vault, and leaving, character and bonafide certificates with a serial number and a QR code anyone can verify.
Four portals
Admin, teacher, parent and student each see their own view, so the office stops being the only way to find anything out.

Why a school here can trust it with its records
Your school's data is walled off in the database
Separation is enforced by database rules, not by a filter in the code that somebody can forget. One school cannot read another's students, fees or marks.
Backed up every night, thirty days kept
A full copy of your school is taken each night and the last thirty are retained, so a bad afternoon is recoverable, not final.
A recycle bin, because people delete the wrong row
Deleted records go to a bin instead of disappearing, and can be restored.
Your data leaves whenever you want it
Students, fees and payments export to CSV from inside the app. There is no hostage-taking and no fee for getting your own records out.
Encrypted on the way, and on the way back
Every connection is HTTPS, enforced, and the pages refuse to be framed by another site.
We never take a cut of your fees
Parents pay the school the way they already do and the office records it. The money goes into the school's own account, not ours.
Priced per school, in rupees — never per student
Enrolling more children does not raise your bill in the middle of a session.
Certificates anyone can verify
Each certificate carries a serial number and a QR code that resolves to a page saying whether it is genuine or cancelled.
You can look before you decide
A live demo opens with a school already full of data, with no account and no card, and a paid plan starts with a free trial.
The facts behind these points — where the data is kept, how schools are separated and what is backed up — are written out on the security page, and who is behind the product is on the about page.
Where in Ghana we hear from
Schools in Ghana use Synthixx Campus from Accra, Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi, Tamale and Cape Coast — and from anywhere else with an internet connection, because there is nothing to install. It runs in a browser on the office computer and on the phone a parent already owns.
Questions from schools in Ghana
Does it work with the curricula used in Ghana?
Yes. Subjects, marks and grades are yours to define, so a school following the Ghanaian curriculum with BECE and WASSCE, and British programmes records what its programme needs and whatever it tests in between. Result cards print on your own letterhead, and a school with more than one programme keeps them in one account.
Can we run more than one branch in Ghana?
Yes. Branches are campuses under one school, each with its own classes, students, staff and fee amounts. Staff can be limited to the campus they work at, and the owner reads one branch or all of them.
How do parents pay the school?
However they already do — mobile money, bank transfer and cash, with the reference recorded against the pupil. Synthixx Campus is not a payment gateway and takes no cut of your fees: the office records what arrived against the right child, and a receipt is produced then. The money goes into the school's own account.
What does it cost, and how do we pay?
It is priced per school in US dollars, never per student, starting from $49 a month on the Starter plan, so enrolling more children does not raise the bill in the middle of a year. There is a free plan, and every paid plan starts with a three-day trial and no card. You pay from your own Rizon account to ours — Rizon works in 122 countries — and the plan is switched on once we have confirmed the payment, usually within twelve hours.
How long does it take to set up?
An afternoon for most schools. Classes and students import from a spreadsheet, fees are set per class, and the login codes for parents and students are generated for you. The guide shows every screen with real screenshots.
Can we see it before deciding?
Yes, without signing up for anything. The live demo opens a school that already has students, fees, attendance and results in it, and it deletes itself after two hours.
