The truth about school

Your child isn't the problem.
The system is.

Online school vs traditional school — why thousands of families are making the switch

Traditional schools were designed for a different century. When the system fails your child, the answer isn't to push harder — it's to find a better one. That's why families across South Africa and 100+ countries trust CambriLearn as the leading accredited alternative to traditional schooling.

Traditional school

  • One pace for 30+ students — too fast or too slow
  • Rigid timetables that ignore your child's life
  • One curriculum. No choice.
  • Geography dictates quality of education
  • Labels children who don't fit the mould

CambriLearn Online School

  • Personalised pace — your child moves when ready
  • Flexible schedule that fits training, travel, or life
  • Six internationally accredited curricula — you choose
  • World-class education from any country, any timezone
  • Internationally accredited — the real qualifications, not equivalents

Frequently asked questions

How does CambriLearn work?
We provide a complete online schooling solution including video lessons, worksheets, step-by-step learning guides, marked assessments, tests and exams, pre-recorded video lessons, video calls and live lessons. Additionally, with our Premium package, your child will have access to their teacher via direct messaging as well as weekly Q&A sessions.
Is CambriLearn an accredited school?
CambriLearn is a Cognia-accredited online school, which is one of the world's largest accreditation bodies. Students graduating from Cognia-accredited schools are recognised at the best schools and universities around the world. CambriLearn is also a SACAI-registered school and an IEB-registered school.
What are your fees?
Pricing is based on subject, curriculum and package. The monthly instalment option is spread over 12 monthly payments. You can view our full pricing and package details on our pricing page.
What about textbooks?
CambriLearn's school fees do not include textbooks, but we prescribe and list different suppliers to offer parents a range of options. You can download the textbook lists on our website. Important to note: An ISEB International Science E-book from Pearson has a unique online edition.
How does the flexibility work?
The International British and CAPS curriculum at CambriLearn offer students the flexibility to start at any time. Our self-paced learning platform allows students to complete their education alongside other commitments. If you're in the CAPS curriculum, SACAI exam registration requires that the student has completed their school-based assessments.
Does CambriLearn cater for special needs?
Although our teachers aren't specialist trained, each of our tutors recognises that some students learn differently and can adjust to their individual pace. Students can take their time and work at a pace that is comfortable to them. It's something that needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
Does CambriLearn have physical centres?
Yes, we have exam-affiliated learning centres across South Africa. The ideal setup is that you find a centre suitable for your family to do physical exams, tests and assessments. You are not required to use a CambriLearn-affiliated centre. We can also assist with information on the curriculum they follow and any special needs requirements.
Do universities accept CambriLearn students?
The short answer is yes. CambriLearn students have gone on to study at top universities across South Africa and internationally. We recommend that you speak to an admissions advisor at your target university to confirm the degree requirements before you apply.
Are CambriLearn's teachers qualified?
Every CambriLearn educator holds a recognised teaching degree (BSc, BEd, PGCE, BA, or MA), is SACE registered, and has an average of 8+ years classroom experience. Students receive live classes and dedicated teacher support.
How many curricula does CambriLearn offer?
CambriLearn offers five internationally recognised curricula: British (Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels), CAPS (available in English and Afrikaans via KABV), IEB, Pearson Edexcel, and American. Students can switch curricula without switching schools.
Is CambriLearn NCAA approved?
Yes. CambriLearn's American Curriculum is NCAA-approved, meaning student athletes can maintain eligibility for Division I and II scholarships while training at elite level. The programme leads to a Cognia-accredited US High School Diploma.
What is CambriLearn's university acceptance rate?
CambriLearn has a 98% university acceptance rate. Graduates have been accepted to Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, and leading universities worldwide with full academic and athletic scholarships. University application support is included as standard.
