School software,
built from the classroom.
ClassroomX was started in 2026 by a South African learner who wanted a better school day. Today it runs at Hoërskool Anker, for learners, parents, teachers and leaders.

Hi there.
If you are reading this, you probably know what a school day can feel like: messages in one place, marks in another, papers everywhere and important updates trying to find their way home.
Technology was supposed to make that easier. Too often, it simply added another tab, another password and another job to remember.
That question started ClassroomX: what if the whole school could feel like one connected place?
Renaldo & PhilipFounders, ClassroomX
A normal Tuesday, before ClassroomX
School lifebecame scattered.
Parents searched for updates. Teachers repeated the same admin. Learners moved between disconnected tools. Leaders had information, but not always a clear picture.
A learner anda lifetime in IT.
One of us sees the school day from a desk in the classroom. The other brings more than 40 years of real-world IT experience. ClassroomX needs both.
Renaldo Nel
Started ClassroomX at 15, as My School Portal: an alternative to the school tools he found frustrating. He leads the product, and still knows what a school day looks like from a desk.
Philip De Villiers
More than 40 years of real-world IT experience. Philip saw the first demo in May 2026, joined as co-founder and helped shape where ClassroomX was going.
How we buildClassroomX.
Built inside a real school
Every feature is shaped by Hoërskool Anker’s learners, parents and staff using it on ordinary school days.
One place, not another tab
Notices, homework, marks, fees and forms belong together. Adding ClassroomX should remove apps, not add one.
Made for South African schools
SA-SAMS sync, rand payments and the way local schools actually run are the starting point, not an afterthought.
Your school’s data stays yours
Every role sees only what it should, and processing is POPIA-aligned. Trust is part of the product.

Tuck shop and signed forms
Tap-to-pay tuck shop and e‑signed registration, indemnity and medical forms went live, so less paper goes home in school bags.
Next: report cards, exams, transport and more schools.
