High school. Low costs.

Yes, there are Live Check-ins that take place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings for 15 minutes, with Support Coaches.

As such, high school learners will have multiple opportunities to engage with their Support Coaches and peers, enriching their learning experience.

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.

According to the Department of Education’s Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement, the Physical Education (PE) component of Life Orientation aims to develop high school learners' physical well-being, knowledge of movement skills in traditional and non-traditional sports, and safety issues in physical activity.
High school learners will be encouraged to perform a range of engaging activities that aim to develop an active and healthy lifestyle. High school learners will capture their physical activities through videos and photographs, and monitor their heart rates. This evidence will then be submitted to our Learning Management System (Online Campus), enabling our trained Learning Facilitators to view these submissions on a weekly basis, provide feedback, and assign a participation mark. Activities that contribute to formal grades will be awarded marks.

Through these fun, practical lessons, we help high school learners develop communication skills, creativity, and critical thinking, as well as find an appreciation of, and enjoyment in, regular physical activity.

Our customised Moodle platform – it’s fantastic!

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!

You need to have the following key documents on hand: your identity document and your child's latest term report. Depending on your selected term, you may be required to provide an additional report.
‍
Once you've received a conditional offer and have accepted your placement at UCT Online High School, we will ask you to submit all of the documents referenced in the application process during the pre-orientation phase. These documents are required before starting at UCT Online High School.

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).
