Rubriix is teaching and school software for Nigerian schools. Rubriix prepares lesson notes from the school's scheme of work, runs class tests and CBT exams, and prints school-branded report cards. Principals, proprietors, and teachers in basic and secondary schools are the people Rubriix is built for.
A school day involves more than delivering a lesson. Teachers prepare notes, set questions, review scores, and turn a term’s work into reports. Rubriix connects those tasks around the scheme of work your school already uses. This guide explains what it covers, the devices you need, and how to get started.

Who is Rubriix for?
Rubriix is for Nigerian basic and secondary schools: proprietors, principals, school administrators, teachers, and students. Rubriix is not a university records system, and Rubriix is not a bursary or school-fees portal. A school that wants lesson notes from the scheme of work, assessments tied to topics, CBT exams on lab computers, and printable end-of-term reports is the school Rubriix is aimed at.
The academic calendar inside Rubriix is term-based, because that is how Nigerian basic and secondary schools actually run the year. WAEC, NECO, and JAMB still sit in the background of that year; Rubriix does not pretend to be an exam board. Rubriix organises the school's own classes, subjects, and topics so teachers can prepare and assess against the scheme the school already uses — NERDC-shaped or otherwise — rather than importing a calendar of semesters that the school does not run.
Parents and bursars looking first for fee collection, payroll, or hostel inventory will find those jobs in other Nigerian products. Keeping teaching software separate from fee portals is the honest split. For a simple overview of Rubriix, SAFSIMS, Edves and FlexiSAF, read school management software in Nigeria.
What does Rubriix actually do in a school?
Rubriix covers four connected jobs: lesson preparation, assessments (including CBT exams when the school enables them), school reports, and the school workspace that holds people, classes, and terms. In Rubriix School, these jobs share one academic structure — session, term, class, subject, topic — so a lesson note, a class test, and a report line can point at the same piece of teaching.
| Pillar | What the school actually gets |
|---|---|
| Lesson preparation | Lesson notes with explanations and worked examples, plus practice questions, produced from the school's scheme of work. Teachers review and edit before class. Class and subject access is managed by the school. |
| Assessments | Class tests and assignments linked to topics; student attempts and review; automated marking with staff review. Dedicated CBT exams on Windows and macOS when CBT is enabled. |
| Reports | School-branded report cards, class sheets, and broadsheets. Configurable grading. Printable documents for end-of-term conversations. |
| Workspace | Teacher and student records, class and subject assignments, academic sessions and terms, and access control. |
The connection matters: teachers prepare and assess against the same class and subject structure that administrators use for reports.
How does lesson preparation work in Rubriix?
Lesson preparation in Rubriix starts from the school's scheme of work, not from a blank page. Rubriix organises teaching around academic sessions, terms, classes, subjects, and topics. From that structure Rubriix prepares lesson notes with explanations and worked examples, plus practice questions the teacher can use to check understanding.
The teacher still owns the lesson. On the teacher Android app, the teacher opens the class, subject, and week, reads the notes and examples, and edits before the notes reach the classroom. Rubriix does not replace the teacher. The professional judgement — how to explain a topic, which example will land, which child needs another pass — stays with staff. What Rubriix removes is the empty notebook at 9 p.m. the night before a double period.
During setup, the school shares the scheme of work it actually teaches. Rubriix is not useful as a generic pamphlet of "sample notes" disconnected from the school's classes. The point of the workspace is that JS2 Mathematics in first term is the same topic the class test later marks, and the same line the report card later prints.
Can Rubriix run CBT exams?
Yes. Rubriix runs class tests and assignments linked to teaching topics, and Rubriix also offers a dedicated CBT app on Windows and macOS for schools that enable computer-based testing. Students attempt the work; staff review attempts and scores. Automated marking is available, and staff can still review the results before using those results in term reports.
CBT exams in a Nigerian school are a lab problem as much as a software problem: machines, power, invigilation, and a paper backup if the lights go. Rubriix CBT is the software side of that lab. Rubriix CBT is not a public JAMB centre and is not a claim that every school must sit WAEC on a computer. A school that wants in-house CBT for class tests and termly exams can install Rubriix CBT on the lab computers and keep the same topics the teachers have been teaching.
Class tests and take-home assignments remain available without a CBT lab. The assessment pillar is not only the desktop CBT app.
How do report cards work at the end of term?
Rubriix brings student results together in school-branded report cards, class sheets, and broadsheets. The school configures grading scales, subject groups, and how the printed report should look, so the document the parent collects at visiting day is the school's document, with the grading and layout the school needs.
End-of-term reports in a Nigerian school are a conversation with parents, not a dashboard screenshot. Rubriix produces printable reports for that conversation. Class sheets and broadsheets remain available for the principal and the teachers who still work from a hall printout when compiling the term.
Configurable grading matters because schools do not all use the same bands, the same subject groups, or the same way of showing continuous assessment next to exam scores. Rubriix lets the school set those rules rather than forcing one imported scale.
Which devices does a school need for Rubriix?
A school running Rubriix typically needs one administrator computer, Android phones for teachers and students, and — if CBT exams are in scope — Windows or macOS machines in the lab. Rubriix School is the Windows and macOS desktop app for administrators. Teachers and students have dedicated Android apps. Rubriix CBT is a separate Windows and macOS app. iPhone and iPad apps are coming; they are not a current release.
The Rubriix device split is deliberate. The person who assigns classes, opens the term, and prints broadsheets is usually at a desk. The person who reviews tomorrow's lesson notes is often on a phone. The person sitting a CBT exam is at a lab machine. Each app supports the work that person needs to do.

How does a school start with Rubriix?
A school starts Rubriix with a conversation, not a self-serve checkout. Email rubriix@outlook.com with the school's name, location, and classes, and what the school wants help with — lessons, assessments, CBT exams, or reports. The same conversation can start on WhatsApp at +234 810 708 1335.
After that conversation, the school administrator installs Rubriix School on Windows or macOS, teachers and students install the Android apps, and schools using CBT exams install Rubriix CBT on the lab computers. The administrator then organises the academic session and term, adds teachers and students, and assigns class and subject access. Teachers review the first lesson notes against the scheme of work before those notes are used in class.
