Our story

Built for schools that keep going

Antava was born from a simple frustration — Nigerian schools deserve proper management software that works the way they actually work, not the way Silicon Valley imagines they do.

The problem with most school software

Most school ERP systems assume stable internet, a dedicated IT department, and per-student pricing that makes them unaffordable for the average Nigerian school with 300–800 pupils.

Schools end up cobbling together WhatsApp groups, paper registers, Excel fee trackers, and physical report cards — each managed separately, each prone to error.

Antava replaces all of that with a single system that runs on a ₦50,000 Raspberry Pi, serves the whole school over Wi-Fi, and works perfectly even when NEPA takes the light and the internet goes with it.

How we think about building

Offline first, always

We design every feature to work without internet. Cloud sync is a bonus, not a requirement. Power and connectivity should never stop a school from running.

🇳🇬

Built for Nigeria

Nigerian class structures, Nigerian school terms, Naira pricing, Termii SMS, and school naming conventions that actually make sense here.

📋

No per-student pricing

A school with 150 students and a school with 1,500 students pay the same. Growth should never feel like a penalty.

👤

Every role matters

The principal, bursar, class teacher, parent, and student all have their own view of Antava — with exactly what they need, nothing more.

📄

Real documents, real branding

Every PDF that comes out of Antava — receipts, payslips, report cards — looks like it came from your school, not a generic template.

📚

Simple enough for anyone

If a class teacher who's never used software before can mark attendance in under 60 seconds, we've done our job.

From the people using it every day

"We used to do attendance in paper registers and compile it at month-end. Now it's done in seconds and parents get SMS alerts same day."

Head Teacher, Faith Academy Lagos

"The CBT module alone is worth it. Students practise past questions, and we run mock exams on the school network without needing Wi-Fi."

Kunle Adeyemi
ICT Coordinator, Sunrise Schools Abuja

"Our bursar runs the full term's fee collection from one screen. PDF receipts go out instantly and the outstanding balances are always accurate."
