Everest Homework Tracking has not only saved me from ‘death by email’ it allows me to see who handed in what, when and associated comments from me my students and their parents. This has greatly assisted me in providing focused feedback and planning future lessons effectively at this difficult time. An invaluable tool.
Private School Teacher, Cayman Islands
Truro School has found Everest intuitive to use, was quick and easy to set up and adopted by our staff after a relatively brief training in September 2019. The parent body welcomed the App and pupils quickly adapted to using the homework module and checking to see ‘the work on Everest’. Customer support has been outstanding.
Mark Vanstone, Director of Studies, Truro School
The homework module has enabled teachers to collect, mark, feedback, and return student work. As many of our teachers were operating in many different countries and time zones, this allowed us to work effectively from where they were located. Despite being away from the school for a number of weeks, we are still able to collate student grades and create reports in order to ensure learning is taking place.

I just wanted to tell you that I love the new Everest EDU365 app. It’s so easy to keep track of my daughter’s homework, to know where she is during the day, her teachers and classes. Other parents are also very appreciative to be able to log in and see what’s happening with our kids. Easy to use and very helpful.
Julie Corsetti, Parent
As a parent of twin boys tracking homework and classes was a nightmare. The Everest software has alleviated the stress and constant asking my boys “Do you have any homework?” I find the phone app gives me instant access to these activities in a fast and efficient way. It also allows me to check on attendance, if they are late to classes, as well as looking at their merits.
Lee Madison, Parent
Everest makes it so easy to do the things that seem to take longer in SIMS.
I like that I can use it on my tablet – it’s got an up-to-date look about it.
I use it to communicate with parents – it’s easy.
Public School Teacher, Cayman Islands
When Covid-19 hit, we were in the middle of our school holidays and were quickly faced with the situation of converting our bricks and mortar school into an online school. This posed many challenges for all members of the community. Everest provided us with an effective means to communicate with students and parents, issue work, and continue our reporting and assessment cycle. Everest has an easy to use interface which means that students and parents can easily find the work that is required of them and receive direct communications from their teachers.
Mark Jones, Director of Teaching and Learning, Dulwich College Suzhou, China
Since the school’s been closed I’ve been joining live lessons, via Everest, so my days have been as near to normal as they can be! I’ve also been able to hand in my work and get feedback from my teachers so my homework is the best it can be. Handing in work is very quick and easy to do.
Harry, Student
As part of Cayman Prep and High School’s toolset for vigorous delivery of quality e-learning, the school has used Everest to deliver teaching and learning resources to our students, as well as monitor and feedback to them. Everest is set up to link into other e-learning tools such as Microsoft Teams. It has been highly successful and gainfully used across the school to support staff, students and parents. We have been very happy with this platform and the support given by EDU365. A brand that certainly lives up to its name!
Karl Murphy, High School Principal, Cayman Prep & High School, Cayman Islands
Using Everest our teachers find it easy to take registration throughout the entire school site. The interface is well designed and intuitive allowing all levels of user easy access to information. Setting assignments is simple yet flexible enough to meet the needs of our teachers and it allows parents and students easy access to not just assignments but behavior, attendance and grades. Everest overcomes most of the challenges that our previous application was unable to achieve.
