Will there be a fee increase?

Tuition fees are subject to an annual increase. Please refer to our Fees handbook for detailed information about this.

Will these examinations be written at a physical venue or online?

The examination for Grade 9 will at this stage, until the GEC (General Education Certificate) is available, be facilitated by us and will be conducted online under proctored conditions. The final exams for Grade 12 are set by the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SACAI) and need to be written at a physical examination venue in South Africa organised by SACAI.

UCT Online High School will facilitate preferred venue requests from parents with SACAI for our learners, in consultation with SACAI as the examination body. All other exams will be conducted online under proctored conditions.

Do you offer classes?

We are a distance learning institution; we do not offer in-person (live) classes. You can access your future from the comfort of your own home.

What exam will learners write in Grade 12 (matric)?

Learners who are enrolled with UCT Online High School will write the external exams for their subjects as set by the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SACAI).

Do I pay per subject? How much does each subject cost?

We charge a flat fee for all of our years. These fees are inclusive of the required minimum number of subjects. Any additional elected subjects will incur an additional cost. 

Please see our fees page for more info.

Is a placement fee required?

To secure your child’s place at our school and accept the conditional offer, we require a once-off placement fee to be paid in advance. This payment is non-refundable, and will not be deducted from the total tuition cost.

This fee includes but is not limited to the costs associated with record verification, learner onboarding and the purchase of technology licences on behalf of the learner.

Are Virtual Clubs compulsory?

Virtual Clubs do not contribute to a learner’s*  overall grade and are not compulsory, but they are a lot of fun! If a learner does sign-up for a club that piques their interest, they need to ensure that they attend their Virtual Club live sessions as often as possible.

*This is not applicable to Adult Matric learner

Do you offer bursaries or scholarships?

As and when they become available, scholarships are offered. Please see more information here.
