Everest is an innovative solution from EDU365 that has been designed and built to simplify many of the tasks undertaken by teachers and school leadership teams daily.
Everest is a hosted solution which means that it’s quick to implement and there is a minimal maintenance and support overhead for schools.
Key data will be read from SIMS and presented in a clear, modern interface. New data is written back to SIMS and there is no duplication.
Everest is thoughtfully designed, so very little training is needed. From day one teachers will be comfortable using it to find and capture information.
It provides a simple, quick way for heads of department to monitor activity for each class.
The Student and Parent Apps provide a single place to go for published work and resources, simplify communication, provide access to general information and encourage engagement across the whole school community.
Everest will keep life simple for schools, teachers, parents and students. It has an attractive, standardised interface and everything is easily accessible in one place, unlike SIMS which has SIMS Parent, SIMS Teacher and Homework apps.
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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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 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
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.

Everest, from EDU365, combines all the key functionality usually distributed across several expensive, disconnected systems used in schools, and delivers clear insight and efficiency. Quite simply, this transforms the educational experience for every stakeholder, reduces the maintenance overhead and the opportunity for information mismatch.
Everest was built for and by teachers to dramatically reduce the operational “noise” within the complex school environment and allow all stakeholders to focus on what matters.
Using the very latest technology and combining decades of educator experience, Everest is a mobile-first solution that provides a simple clean interface for your SIMS implementation. Everest is able to:
Simply because Everest can help to deliver all the improvements schools need with none of the complexity and at a fraction of the cost of the multiple legacy school systems that attempt to achieve this.
