CBE-KE curriculum alignment
Purpose-built to support the KICD Competency Based Education framework. Lesson content, assessments, and Schemes of Work all map to CBE-KE strands from Early Years Education through senior school.
Built for Kenya
The school platform built for Kenyan schools
CBE-aligned LMS with an integrated content marketplace, parent engagement portal, and mobile money billing. Built for Kenyan schools, network conditions, and the KICD curriculum framework.
What Kenyan schools get
Built for Kenya, not adapted for it
Built from the ground up to serve the unique needs of Kenyan schools, educators, learners, parents, and publishers.
Mobile Money
Flexible payment options allow schools to purchase content licenses in KES through M-Pesa, other mobile money, and card payments. No USD fees, no bank transfers. Payment confirmation is immediate.
Schemes of Work generator
Generate HOD-ready Schemes of Work directly from your lesson selections. Saves teachers hours each term and ensures CBE terminology throughout.
Parent portal in Kiswahili and English
Parents track their child's competency progress, receive school updates, and view assessment feedback. No WhatsApp groups needed.
Low-bandwidth for 2G and 3G
Designed for Kenyan network conditions. The student and teacher portals function on slow or intermittent connections. No high-speed broadband required.
Kenyan publisher content
The content marketplace includes materials from approved Kenyan curriculum developers and educators, tagged to KICD competency strands and updated as CBE-KE evolves.
Kenya-specific feature
Schemes of Work, built into the platform
Every Kenyan teacher is required to submit a Scheme of Work to their Head of Department each term. Elymica generates Schemes of Work automatically from lesson plan selections and curriculum node mappings, using CBE-KE terminology throughout. HODs review and approve within the same platform. What used to take a full afternoon now takes under ten minutes.
Auto-generated from lesson plans
No duplicate data entry
CBE strand and sub-strand linked
KICD terminology throughout
HOD review and approval flow
One platform, no email attachments
Also for families
Homeschooling under CBE? Elymica works for that too.
The same parent portal, student portal, and content marketplace that schools use works just as well for a single-family home education setting. Content is available for individual purchase. Progress is tracked against KICD competency strands. Reports are exportable.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Elymica aligned to the current CBE framework, not CBC?
Yes. Elymica uses CBE-KE terminology throughout: strands, sub-strands, and competency levels as specified by KICD. The platform was updated when KICD formalised the CBC to CBE rename and uses current terminology in all Schemes of Work, assessments, and reports.
Can we pay in KES through M-Pesa?
Yes. Schools pay for content licences and subscriptions through M-Pesa and Mobile Money in Kenyan Shillings. There are no USD fees and no bank transfer requirements.
Does it work in schools with poor internet?
Yes. The student and teacher portals are built for 2G and 3G conditions. Lessons are optimised for low bandwidth and the platform supports progressive caching for intermittent connectivity.
How is Elymica different from analytics or fee-management tools?
Analytics and fee-management tools solve a different problem: they track results and payments, not learning. A school needs both layers: a back-office system for performance data and finances, and a teaching and learning layer for curriculum delivery, teacher planning, parent communication, and content. Elymica covers the teaching and learning layer. Many Kenyan schools run both types of tools side by side.
Can homeschool families in Kenya use Elymica?
Yes. The parent portal and student portal work for single-family home education. Content from the marketplace is available for individual purchase by parents, not restricted to registered schools. Read our guide to homeschooling under CBE for the full picture.
