High school. Low costs.

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.

‍

The size of the Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions held by Learning Facilitators every week will depend on the number of learners who join the session.

Unfortunately, not. We place the highest authority on the safety and security of our learners. Our Learning Facilitators, Support Coaches, School Counsellors and staff are thoroughly vetted and monitored in line with our Safeguarding Policy to ensure that you/your child is as safe as possible in all their interactions with UCT Online High School.

Unlike a traditional school, you/your child will not be on our premises, and therefore, we cannot take responsibility for you/your child’s safety at your home or any other environment that you/your child is using to access UCT Online High School.

We cannot take responsibility or vouch for any third parties such as:
- au-pairs,
- tutors,
- schools,
- or any other person or institution that you contract with to supplement, care for, or assist you/your child with UCT Online High School’s programme.

UCT Online High School is completely independent of these people or institutions. We cannot take any responsibility for them. Where a learner or guardians contract with another party or school, such a contract is between the learner/guardian and that person or company and in no way involves UCT Online High School.

We offer a Structured Flexibility approach where Adult Matric learners have the flexibility to complete the necessary content freely within a week — want to study on a Tuesday night or Saturday morning? No problem, as long as you cover the week’s worth of content before the end of the week. Adult Matric Learners will also have access to pre-recorded ASC examination prep sessions to further cement their understanding of the academic content prior to writing the ASC exams. Further support will be provided by our Support Advisors who will be accountability partners and provide administrative support and motivation throughout the learning journey. Our Technical Support team is also on hand to support any technical issues on our various learning platforms and will be on hand during live tests and exams. Our Support Advisors and Tech Support team will be available Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-5:00 pm SAST during published academic terms.

The Adult Matric qualification is awarded by Umalusi.
