High school. Low costs.

Nope, UCT Online High School is an online high school for Gr 8-12 learners for the SA National Senior Certificate (CAPS), learners in Year 10 for the Cambridge International curriculum* and adult learners who want to receive their Adult Matric; an incredible, cutting-edge, online one at that!

*Years 11, 12 and 13 for the Cambridge International curriculum will be offered in the coming years.

‍

100 - 80% - Outstanding achievement - 7

79 - 70% - Meritorious achievement - 6

69 - 60% - Substantial achievement - 5

59 - 50% - Adequate achievement - 4

49 - 40% - Moderate achievement - 3

39 - 30% - Elementary achievement - 2

29 - 0% - Not achieved - 1

Typically, there are two sets of internal examinations per subject, per grade, held in the 2nd and 4th terms. These examinations will summatively test the content covered up to that point. Some subjects supplement the 2 examinations with Cycle Tests in terms 1 and 3.

In Grade 12/matric, high school learners will write external exams in term 3 and term 4.
