Operate. Connect. Grow.

Run your school from one connected system.

Cheruta connects administration, teachers, families, academics, payments, school services, and communication in one secure school environment. Information is entered once, stays accountable, and moves with the school.

400+ students · 26+ teachers · Live in Jamaica

Built inside a working school. Start with one class if you prefer.

Schools were not designed to run on WhatsApp, spreadsheets, notebooks, and disconnected software.
01

Attendance sits in a register that leadership cannot see live.

02

Marks move between subject teachers and class teachers through paper, messages, or spreadsheets.

03

Payments, receipts, balances, and family questions depend on separate records.

04

Admissions, student records, communication, and services live in different systems.

The core idea

Enter it once. Use it everywhere.

Cheruta creates one connected school record. When a teacher marks attendance, leadership can see it. When a subject teacher enters marks, those marks flow into the student's report card. When a family applies, an accepted application becomes the student and family record. When a payment is recorded, the balance, receipt history, and audit trail update together.

  • Collect lunch money and see owed days on the same card

Nobody should have to retype the same school information twice.

A school should not depend on five systems, three notebooks, and one person's memory.

✓ Account cleared
Held under your school's clearance policy

This report is approved and will be released when the school's own account policy is met.

Your policy, configured by your school.

Cheruta can connect report release to the school's own account-clearance policy. Administrators can see the account status, approve reports, manage exceptions, and record every release or override.

  • No financial gate
  • Tuition clearance
  • Selected charges
  • Administrative override

This is a school policy setting, not a universal Cheruta rule. Schools decide which charges are considered, and every exception is recorded with a name and a date.

Cheruta Impact: school needs and funded projects

A school needs more than software. Turn school needs into visible, accountable projects.

Teachers and school leaders can identify needs inside Cheruta. School administration reviews them. Approved needs can be structured into projects that authorized partners may support with funding, equipment, materials, services, expertise, or volunteers.

Stage one

Need identified

A teacher or school leader records what the school actually needs, with detail.

Stage two

School review

Administration reviews, requests changes, or approves. Nothing leaves the school unapproved.

Stage three

Approved project, partner support

The need becomes a structured project that authorized partners may support.

Stage four

Implementation, evidence, outcome

Delivery is recorded, evidence is attached, and the outcome stays on the school's record.

Partners only see approved project information. They do not receive access to private student, academic, family, or financial records.
From enquiry to enrolled

Admissions, on the record. Not a WhatsApp thread and a notebook.

Step one

Your own apply link

Share one address with your school’s logo, name and grade list on it. Parents apply from a phone in about two minutes. Walk-ins and phone enquiries get typed straight into the same queue by the office.

Step two

One queue, one truth

Every application sits in a single list with a status: new, reviewing, waitlisted, accepted, rejected. Internal notes stay internal, and every change is stamped with who did it and when.

Step three

Accept, then enrol

One tap creates the pupil record, the guardians and the family login code, in the class you choose. No retyping the details a parent already gave you.

Step four

Straight into the school record

The enrolled student immediately becomes part of the school’s connected operating record, including class, family, services, academic workflows, and account information.

Your school, your front door

Cheruta runs many schools. Families only see yours.

🏫Branded sign-in
Your school gets a short web address of its own. Your logo, name and identity sit on the sign-in and application pages, so families never see another school’s name.
🧱Separate environment
Each school’s students, ledgers, reports and staff are sealed off at the database, not just hidden in the screens. No one from another school can reach a single row of yours.
⚙️Local configuration
Schools set their own classes, subjects, report templates, academic terms, services, user roles and policies. Cheruta adapts to how your school already works, which matters across Jamaica, CARICOM, Ghana and other markets.
Live proof

Built inside a working school.

Cheruta is not a classroom mockup or a presentation concept. It is already running inside a real school environment, and the screens on this page are the product itself.

Questions we get asked

Straight answers, before you call us.

What is Cheruta?

Cheruta is school office software that runs report cards and school fees in one system. Teachers enter grades, the office approves reports and tracks the fee ledger, and parents see their balance and their child's report status in a portal.

How does the fee gate work?

An approved report card stays sealed until the family's fee account clears. When the office records or verifies the payment, the report is released to the parent automatically - no chasing, no awkward conversation at the gate.

What does Cheruta cost?

US$12 per student, per term, billed to the school and trued up to real enrollment each term. There is no setup fee, no per-teacher fee and no add-on tiers; the parent portal is included.

Do parents need to install an app?

No. Parents sign in through any web browser on a phone or computer, using an email address plus a one-time access code and PIN issued by the school.

What happens to a report when fees clear?

The report unlocks immediately for the family to view and print, and the release is written to the audit log with who cleared it and when.

Who can see a child's grades?

Only the class teacher, the child's subject teachers, administrators and the family. Collections and transport staff cannot read grades at all - that restriction is enforced in the database, not just hidden in the interface.

How is school data kept safe?

Every role sees only its own world, nothing academic or financial is ever hard-deleted, and every approval, payment, correction and override is written to an append-only audit log.

Does Cheruta handle admissions?

Yes. Families apply through your school's own web link, and every enquiry lands in an office queue with a status - new, reviewing, waitlisted, accepted or rejected - and a full history trail. Accepting an application creates the pupil record, the guardians and the family login code in one tap.

Can each school have its own branded sign-in page?

Yes. Every school gets a short web address of its own, and its logo, name and tagline appear on the sign-in and application pages. Parents never see another school's branding, and each school's data is sealed off at the database level.

How do we record payments if parents pay in cash or by bank transfer?

The office posts payments by hand against a pupil, with the method, a reference and the name of whoever posted it. Nothing is ever deleted - corrections are recorded as voids in the audit log.

Can we try Cheruta with one class first?

Yes. Request a pilot from the Cheruta site and we reply within one working day. A pilot sets your school up in a day and runs a single class through a full cycle - contacts in, fees applied, grades entered, reports approved, the gate tested and reports printed.

Bring Cheruta to your school.

Start with the workflows your school needs most. We can begin with one class, one department, or a broader school deployment.

One email or WhatsApp number is enough. We use it to reply about your school, nothing else.
