High school. Low costs.

Mastery Checks take place at the end of each module. Each module represents 1 week’s worth of work to be completed for each subject.

Please see our stationery and equipment list here.

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

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

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

We look for Learning Facilitators who have experience teaching a vast curriculum. They must have demonstrated experience working effectively with young people to promote their individual academic potential.

No, we are not an open enrolment school. However, we look at every application holistically and strive to be as inclusive as possible.

Yes, your child may need to complete an English and/or Mathematics assessment during the application process.

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, high school learner onboarding and the purchase of technology licences on behalf of the high school learner.

Requirements for homeschooling vary from country to country. Please consult the resources from your country's Education Ministry to gain clarity on the requirements that you will need to adhere to.
