Universities accept the Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) as one of their entrance requirements. You will need to pass at Bachelor’s Degree level and adhere to all other entry requirements of the course you want to apply for. The higher your marks, the more likely you are to be accepted into a university course. It is important to check all the requirements before choosing your Adult Matric subjects.

We look for Learning Facilitators who have experience teaching a vast curriculum. They must have demonstrated experience working effectively with young people to promote their individual academic potential.

For learners based in South Africa who are entering Grade 8 or Grade 9 (younger than 15 years), the responsibility will lie with the parents/guardians to apply to the head of their Provincial Education Department to register their child/children for home education or to apply for an exemption from compulsory education. This is not necessary if the learner is over the age of 15.

In order to get this process going, parents may click here to gain more insight into the government homeschooling registration requirements and may visit the website of your Provincial Education Department to gain more insight into exemption applications.

While this is something parents will be required to do, we’ll be here to guide you!

UCT Online High School uses an integrated approach to delivering science practicals for internal assessments that utilises video demonstrations, online simulations and at-home practicals within a fun, safe and controlled environment. Adult Matric learners will never be required to attend a physical venue to conduct science practicals nor acquire expensive and potentially dangerous equipment to use at home. All practicals to be conducted within the home environment will use materials listed in our stationery and equipment list, and/or cheap and easy-to-source materials from a local supermarket or online store. Additionally, Adult Matric learners will be briefed on the practicals they will be conducting before the module where the practical is placed, allowing them time to source the required materials well in advance. The methods used to deliver science practicals adhere to the Curriculum Assessment Policies Statements (CAPS) outlined by the Department of Basic Education. We aim to equip Adult Matric learners with the practical skills required to prepare them for future studies in the sciences.

We offer several payment options that guardians are able to select for their convenience. Please refer to our fees handbook for detailed information about this.

As several top universities, like Stanford's Online High School, have proven, the academic excellence of universities can be extended to high school learners and create new opportunities for a diverse group of learners to join an aspirational school.

We asked the question: what if we broke down the unnecessary silos between high school and university and offered a solution where the high school experience sets our learners up for success in their university studies and careers?

Bold innovations are required to bring more cohesion to our education sector, and more access for the next generation of leaders across Africa. In response to the education crisis currently facing our country, the time to lead is now — in this regard, we are thrilled to launch the UCT Online High School.
