About SchoolNest HQ
School software should make the school day calmer.
SchoolNest is built in Nigeria around the work a private school repeats every term, so that the people doing that work spend less of their evenings on it.
Why it exists
Built from the work schools repeat every term.
Many schools are not short of effort. They are short of one reliable place for the information their teams already create. A bursar keeps fee records in a spreadsheet. Teachers compile results on different devices. Attendance lives in paper registers. Parents call the office because they cannot check anything themselves.
SchoolNest connects those workflows without asking schools to become technology companies. Setup is hands-on, existing records are imported from whatever the school has, and each school receives its own portal, under its own name, for staff and parents.
We develop the product through school pilots. Feedback from real teachers, administrators and parents is used to simplify each workflow before wider rollout.
The team
Abdulsalam Abubakar
Founder. Product and engineering.
I stay close to every school we onboard: watching how teachers use the product on their phones, listening when an administrator finds a workflow confusing, and making the system simpler before adding more. I set up every founding school myself and I answer the WhatsApp line.
Abdulfatai Hassan Mogobon
Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer. Growth and partnerships.
Hassan looks after the schools we talk to, from the first conversation to the relationship that keeps a school with us, and the partnerships that bring new schools in.
