Everything a South African home school needs

Curriculum, teaching, assessment, evidence and reporting — in one place, for Grade R – Grade 9.

Built on CAPS

Every grade follows the CAPS curriculum, the Annual Teaching Plans (ATPs) and the CAPS Assessment Guidelines.

Circle of Mastery

Self-paced, self-directed learning. Your child sets a mastery target and only moves on once a module or topic is truly mastered.

AI Invigilator

Summative assessments are supervised by the built-in AI Invigilator, and the invigilation is recorded on every marked script.

Portfolio of Evidence

Question paper, memorandum and marked script for every formal task — generated automatically and downloadable as one PDF.

Parent dashboard

Watch progress, mastery and assessment results for each child, at any time.

Termly reports

A CAPS-style report every term for parents who home school directly with us.

How it works

From enrolment to a submitted portfolio

1. Enrol and get your letter

Enter the learner's and parent's details, and download your application support letter for the Department of Basic Education straight away.

2. Learn through the Circle of Mastery

Your child works module by module, at their own pace, with the AI tutor explaining anything they get stuck on.

3. Write formal tasks by hand

Summative assessments are written by hand under the AI Invigilator, then photographed and uploaded.

4. Build the Portfolio of Evidence

The AI marks in red against the memorandum. Every task becomes a PDF in the Portfolio, ready to submit at the end of the year or phase.

Assessment & evidence

Formal assessments, marked and filed for you

Formal tasks are set to the CAPS Assessment Guidelines for your child's grade, written by hand under the AI Invigilator, and photographed and uploaded. The AI marks the script in red against the memorandum — and your child can always revise and write a new task to improve a mark.

  • Supervised by the built-in AI Invigilator, noted on every marked script
  • Question paper, memorandum and marked script in every assessment PDF
  • The full Portfolio of Evidence downloads as one PDF, ready for the end of the year or phase
