About SKULLU ERP

The School Management System Built for Kenya's Schools

SKULLU ERP is a comprehensive, cloud-ready school administration platform designed specifically for Kenyan schools. We support every major curriculum — CBC, Cambridge, IB and PACE — and handle everything from student admissions to payroll, library, transport and beyond.

Our Mission

Kenyan schools face unique challenges — managing CBC portfolios, collecting fees via M-Pesa, tracking KCSE and KCPE performance, handling multi-stream timetables, and communicating with thousands of parents. Most international school software doesn't understand these realities.

SKULLU ERP was built from the ground up in Kenya, for Kenya. Every module is shaped by how Kenyan schools actually operate — whether you run a small PACE homeschool, a CBC primary, a Cambridge secondary, or a large IB international school in Nairobi or Mombasa.

Our goal is simple: give every Kenyan school — regardless of size or budget — the same powerful administrative tools that large institutions use, at a price that makes sense locally.
