Your child's education is of utmost importance. It shapes them into the adults they'll become and guides them on their life-long journey.
Choosing the right curriculum,one that focuses on South Africa's inclusive landscape, is crucial to this mission. And how better to achieve that than with the advantages of homeschooling?
What is CAPS, and how can it help your child?
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement, better known as CAPS, is the curriculum used in South African schools. It delivers a comprehensive and practical education that aligns with the National Development Plan.
This is significant, as it will give your child unique insights into our country's specific opportunities and challenges and reduce the gap between education and employment.
CAPS is both comprehensive and flexible, guiding children from Grades R 12.
It covers all educational areas, including literacy, numeracy, science, and technology.
The curriculum allows schools and teachers to adapt it to the specific needs of learners. It provides guidelines and support materials to assist educators in delivering effective, engaging, and consistent lessons. It's also the most recognised curriculum in South Africa, followed by millions of learners every year.
It's no coincidence that the CAPS curriculum is the springboard for your child's future success.
CAPS and CambriLearn homeschooling. The perfect partnership.
Who better to teach South Africa's number one curriculum than South Africa's number one online school? CambriLearn is internationally accredited, teaching thousands of students both locally and worldwide. It's well-known and highly regarded.
CAPS online homeschooling, brought to you by CambriLearn, brings out the best in both teachers and learners, and when you combine that with the benefits of homeschooling, your child is well on their way to an education of distinction.
Let's look at the advantages of CAPS online homeschooling with CambriLearn.
Every child is unique. They each learn in their own way and at their own pace. That's what makes CambriLearn online homeschooling so appealing. It combines a personalised and flexible educational experience with individualised attention, the ability to tailor learning to a child's needs and interests, and a safe and comfortable learning environment.
Individualised attention
What are your child's strengths? What are their challenges? Homeschooling with CambriLearn gives you the ability to focus on their unique learning style and pace. It gives you the freedom and flexibility to teach your child the way you want to teach, according to your vision and your knowledge of their talents and personality.
Flexibility
Life is a busy pursuit – and even more so for parents. Getting your child ready for the day, school runs, and extramural activities are just some things that can fill a schedule to the brim. CambriLearn enables you to find a learning routine that fits your lifestyle and your child's. This means less pressure to stick to a strict learning calendar.
Safety and comfort
Although the schoolyard is usually fun, it can also be a place of bullying, negative social influences, and a "win at all costs" mindset. Homeschooling and online lessons provide the opposite: a secure and familiar environment in which your child can learn and thrive.
Affordability
No school uniforms. No expensive school runs or parking. Less money spent on costly extracurriculars. Homeschooling with CambriLearn gives parents the choice of affordable learning without sacrificing educational quality.
Stronger family bonds
More time spent together means closer relationships with your child.
At CambriLearn, we encourage parents to share their child's educational journey and help with the online tutoring they receive. This educational nurturing creates strong emotional bonds.
Solutions for learning differences
CambriLearn, and its Educational Psychologists, tailors its approach to support children with learning difficulties or special needs. For many learners, like those who live with ADD, ADHD, or social anxiety, listening to directions, retaining information, and completing assignments can be daunting tasks.
Less pressure on parents
It may sound counterintuitive, but CambriLearn homeschooling can lessen pressure on parents. While it's true that homeschooling requires you to be present and help your child focus on their education, it also reduces the stresses of school runs, uniform shopping, and compulsory extramurals. Working parents also have the convenience of opting for tutor assistance, which further lessens the load.
Social meetups and events
One of the questions parents ask themselves when considering online homeschooling is whether their child will develop the social skills that are so important in life. Yet homeschooled children tend to have more time and energy to participate in sporting and social activities with other kids across different age groups. At CambriLearn, we give your child access to local clubs for sports or hobbies like golf, chess, soccer, and more.
Hybrid Learning
Local tutoring is another way of enabling social interactions with peers, giving them the benefits of the classroom environment without sacrificing the advantages of online learning. It has also become increasingly popular for parents to use local tutors to support their child's online learning.
Prepares a child for university
Universities require critical career skills, like time management, self-motivation, and self-discipline. Online homeschooling from CambriLearn encourages children to take responsibility for their progress. By allowing a child to have this freedom in their learning, they tend to adjust better to a university environment.
CambriLearn Learning Pods
CambriLearn partners with tutors and learning centres worldwide to deliver hybrid online education through accredited Learning Pods. These dedicated spaces combine our internationally recognised curriculum with in-person support, helping students thrive with flexible, guided learning close to home.
