How fees are presented

“Not listed” describes only the pages reviewed on the date above. It does not establish that a service or credential is unavailable. Confirm your child’s exact route with the school before enrolling.
Understand what
each credential means
School accreditation, assessment-body registration and a learner’s final qualification describe different things. Ask which organisation teaches, assesses and certifies the route you are considering.
01
School accreditation
CambriLearn’s published Cognia certificate is valid through 30 June 2028. School accreditation is separate from examination-centre approval and does not guarantee a place at university.
View CambriLearn’s certificates02
Examination registration
Both schools publish registration with SACAI and the IEB. Umalusi lists both assessment bodies as accredited for the NSC. Registration with an assessment body is not Umalusi accreditation of the online school itself.
Check Umalusi’s assessment-body list03
The qualification
The NSC, Pearson Edexcel qualifications and a US high school diploma are different routes. Check subject choices, assessment requirements and the entry requirements of any university or course your child is considering.
Read SACAI’s registration guidanceCompare the full
year’s cost
A monthly starting price only helps once you know what it includes.
Ask each school for a written breakdown for the same year, grade, subjects and level of teaching support. Check the number of instalments as well as the annual total.
Include these in your quote
- Tuition for all selected subjects
- Registration and enrolment charges
- Assessment, exam-board and exam-centre fees
- Textbooks, devices and internet access
- Extra teaching support and activities
- Payment terms, discounts and cancellation conditions

Explore CambriLearn’s ratings and reviews →Is CambriLearn or Teneo better?
There is no single answer for every family. Compare the required qualification, available grade, live-lesson schedule, teacher access and full annual cost. The table above describes published offerings; it does not establish that either school produces better outcomes.
Do both schools teach in Afrikaans?
Yes. CambriLearn publishes its KABV pathway from Grade 1. Teneo publishes Afrikaans-medium CAPS from Grade 4. Confirm the grade, examination route and teaching option available for the year you want to enrol.
Can my child enter Grade 12 through the IEB at either school in 2027?
Teneo publishes a Grade 12 IEB route for 2027. CambriLearn’s current IEB rollout lists Grades 10 and 11 enrolling, with Grade 12 scheduled for 2028. A learner needing Grade 12 in 2027 should check this distinction before applying.
Does “online school” always mean live lessons all day?
No. CambriLearn describes weekly live subject lessons with coursework between them. Teneo offers live, recorded and mixed class formats, as well as options without classes for 2027. Ask for a sample timetable for the exact package.
Can my child change curriculum without losing time?
A transfer needs an individual assessment. Ask the receiving school to review the learner’s record, subject coverage, assessment deadlines and qualification requirements before confirming a start date. This page makes no promise that every transfer can happen without repeating work.
Why does this comparison use two Teneo websites?
Teneo’s South African website presents its CAPS offering. Its international website presents the British International route using Pearson Edexcel qualifications. Both offerings are included here, using information published on the relevant site.
