Arundel School is a prestigious Christian faith-based girl’s school based in Harare, Zimbabwe founded in 1954 with approximately 200 boarding students and a further 450 day students. With a strong focus on academics and sports, the school follows the UK based Cambridge curriculum. As an independent school, Arundel has unique requirements that a traditional school management system could not meet.
Arundel School had multiple systems for communication, managing student records, mailing lists and activities sign up, all of which were disconnected and didn’t talk to each other. This created challenges such as data silos, reduced productivity, poor parent and student engagement and delayed decision making through not being able to create a full view of the school’s performance. The school needed a comprehensive end to end solution that could overcome these challenges.
Before implementing Engage, we had multiple systems in place that were causing countless issues. Once we had conducted an audit it was clear that we needed a single system that catered to our needs as an independent private school.

Arundel School discovered Engage MIS through an extensive research and evaluation process, which included online searches, reviews from other schools and interviews with EdTech software providers.
Engage from Education Horizons stood out because it offered an end-to-end solution within just one single system that has the ability to adapt modules and reporting to meet the school’s specific requirements.
The flexibility of Engage has allowed Arundel School to customise modules such as curriculum organisation, class management, timetables and assessment templates. This customisation enables the school to adapt the system to fit its specific workflows and teaching methods, developing a more efficient and tailored approach to school management.
As a former IT teacher, I understand the pain experienced by both teachers and technical staff. Engage stood out to us because it offered the flexibility and customisation we needed, enabling us to tailor the system to the unique needs of our school.

The marksbook / marks sheet module allowed the customisation of assessment templates to match the school’s existing designs, resulting in familiar and easily accessible reports for parents and students. Academic reporting became more streamlined with reports now published through the parent and student portals instead of printed reports. Munashe, drawing from his previous experience as an IT teacher, played a crucial role in ensuring that Engage addressed both teacher and technical pain points, resulting in a system that positively impacted the daily operations of the school.
Engage has become the hub of our school’s information, bringing together all essential data and resources into one centralised platform, ensuring a single source of truth for our staff, students, and parents

Engage has simplified communication between the school and parents by centralising messaging and allowing multiple staff members to send communications on behalf of others, eliminating the previous reliance on a single person for communication. It has ensured a cleaner, more specific contact list that is easily maintained and always up to date, resulting in the school finding it easier to send notices and updates to parents through the parent app.
Engage has significantly enhanced our school’s efficiency, communication, and ability to tailor the system to our specific requirements. It has been a reliable and adaptable system that has positively impacted our daily operations.
