Our tailored approach
Students from Grades 7 to 9 fall within the senior phase. Our phased approach to online high schooling allows students to spend time on subjects they struggle with, and
master topics faster in areas of interest and natural ability. This means that they might technically be in Grade 8, but can start with Grade 7 content in certain subjects to help lay solid foundations and build up their mastery.
The same child can also move forward in another subject to work that is typically only accessible in Grade 9 if they show the aptitude for it.
know to get Started
Physical requirements

- A desktop computer or laptop with sound, a mic and video
capabilities that your child has access to throughout the day.
If you have more than one child, each needs their
own computer or laptop set up. - A good Internet connection
