High school. Low costs.

UCT Online High School utilises video demonstrations to deliver creative art practicals for internal assessments. Learners will never be required to attend a physical venue to conduct a Visual Art or Drama practical. Instead, high school learners are required to purchase the items listed in the stationery and equipment list (where possible, high school learners can substitute materials for what they have available). For Visual Art, high school learners will work in their art book using the materials from their kit and photograph their work according to our specifications using their smartphones or tablets. The photograph will be inserted by the high school learner into a document and uploaded for grading. For drama, high school learners will use their smartphone or laptop to record their performances and upload them for grading. The methods used to deliver Creative Art practicals adhere to the Curriculum Assessment Policies Statements (CAPS) outlined by the Department of Basic Education (DBE). We aim to equip high school learners with the practical skills required to prepare them for future studies in the creative arts through the use of innovative and accessible tools.

No, you can’t register to prepare for an Adult Matric qualification with the Department of Basic Education (DBE). This can only be done through Adult Matric service providers such as UCT Online High School. You must, however, register to write your ASC examinations with the DBE.

When joining UCT Online High School, all Learning Facilitators receive extensive training in digital pedagogy (the method and practice of teaching) and ongoing workshops. Using learning analytics and recorded sessions, we can provide direct coaching interventions with our Learning Facilitators to help them refine and continually improve their skills.

Fear not, there need be no kicking of printers or throwing modems out of windows; Adult Matric learners get all the technical support they need. This includes troubleshooting any issues with their Online Campus, Adult Matric Learner Portal, logins, access to course material, shared drives or any Google-affiliated products (such as Google Meet)

Our Technical Support Officers will also be on hand via email, telephone, or a live chat feature, which lets the Adult Matric learner chat with Technical Support Officers in real-time for quick assistance and turnaround time.

Ask Me Anything sessions will be available to all high school learners. They are live-stream sessions that happen weekly with pre-curated questions.

Our support staff keep regular weekday operating hours between 8am - 5pm (SAST) and adhere to South African public and school holidays. Please note that all exams and live events happen in South African Standard Time (SAST).

We charge a flat tuition fee for all of our grades. This fee is inclusive of the required minimum number of subjects for the phase. Any additional elected subjects will incur an additional cost. Please see our fees page for more info.
