EVEREST FUNCTIONALITY

MIS Sync

Everest desktop and mobile apps provide teachers with rapid and intuitive data entry for attendance, achievement, behaviour and assessment data.

Grade Book

The integrated, customisable grade book gives teachers the flexibility to enter daily scores, marks and grades in school or from other locations.

Multi-platform

To engage with all audiences, Everest is mobile first and supported on a wide range of tablets, smartphones and computers.

Teaching and Learning

Everest allows the creation and re-use of lesson plans, resources and homework. With hand in/out functionality and collaborative dialog around the work set to support student learning. Our Class Folders file and web link functionality enables teachers to use the Everest App as a single launchpad for any teaching resources.

Communication

Reaching students, parents and teachers should be easy and fast. With Everest you can push vital information to mobile devices in seconds.

Resource Management

Our flexible cloud-based storage library utilises modern search and tagging systems to help teachers share and quickly and easily find resources and lesson plans.

SEN

Our special needs functionality allows teachers and SENCOs to work collaboratively to support their students in the classroom.

Remote Lesson Delivery

Live lessons can be delivered using Microsoft Teams meetings. Our Links launchpad can push useful information such as letters, policy documents and bulletins to the Student and Parent Apps for quick centralised access. Links to other apps can also be added.

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

Everest has been welcomed by staff, parents and students alike as it is easy and simple to use. It also interfaces seamlessly with our school management system, SIMS, which is saving us time.

Principal, John Gray High School

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.

ICT Coordinator, Teacher of ICT and Computing, Warwick Academy

I am really enjoying using Everest. The daily class attendance is a great electronic way for me to track and monitor attendance whilst the gradebook is saving me tons of paper and time, as I can enter my formative assessments on the spot, from my iPad. This is exactly the tool that I needed.

Secondary Teaching and Learning Coordinator, Warwick Academy

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.

Mark Jones, Director of Teaching and Learning, Dulwich College Suzhou, China

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

You can see everything about a student in one place. I put all my subject resources and lesson plans into it so I can share with my classes. It’s great for sharing homework with students and parents.

Public School Teacher, Cayman Islands

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

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

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.

School Management Team

Benefits for the IT team

The Everest Azure Cloud solution can provide significant cost savings for pressured IT budgets in schools. Everest greatly simplifies the complexity of the IT provision required for teachers to perform their duties. Schools can dramatically reduce the number of applications they need to support and can often eliminate the need for expensive legacy remote access solutions such as Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and Citrix, which are typically used to allow teachers to access SIMS data when away from school.

Benefits for the SLT

Everest is intuitive and is proven to require minimal training for staff. As a result, the onboarding and change management burden is refreshingly light. This drives further efficiency for teachers providing more time for teaching and learning.

Everest can provide senior leaders with more insight in areas such as attendance, achievement, behaviour and assessment. For MATS, school groups and education bodies we can build centralised reporting dashboards, using the flexibility of Power BI, to give an overarching view of school data. These reports can be accessed via the Web and links can be emailed to relevant staff to encourage regular review.

For groups Everest allows central access to each school’s data for information and where teachers, buildings and similar may be shared.
