Smart school management that helps schools .
Zena is a robust school management and learning platform for nursery, primary, secondary and multi-campus schools. It brings admissions, student records, staff, attendance, results, fees, parent access, LMS, communication, transport, hostel, library, payroll and operations into one secure dashboard.
Built for real school operations, not just record keeping.
Zena is designed around daily school realities: admissions, fees, results, attendance, classroom learning, staff permissions, parent communication, student access, school payments and modules that can be activated only when the school needs them.
