Parents looking at online schooling or homeschooling options for their children often find it difficult to compare apples with apples when comparing prices and what each provider offers.
To help them, we’ve compiled an Impaq vs. Brainline vs. CambriLearn comparison guide on the CAPS curriculum online schooling options. This comparison will look at each provider’s curriculums, fees, subjects, reviews, and, most importantly, the features you’ll get.
Each provider offers different packages to meet different needs. To ensure that parents have the most comparable information to work with, we’ve compared the Impaq Online School Package with the Brainline Comprehensive Package and the CambriLearn Standard Package for the CAPS curriculum high school phase (Grades 7-11).

Note: we could not ascertain how many students attend Brainline’s online classes.
We compared Impaq and Brainline’s fees in the table above with CambriLearn’s Standard Package. If parents feel their child needs additional support for a specific subject, they can sign up for CambriLearn’s Premium subscription option (for that subject), which will give them access to additional features such as Direct Chat with teachers and Live Q&A sessions with other students.
Impaq’s online schooling students follow a strict daily routine, similar to what they will experience in a traditional school environment with lessons scheduled from 8:00-14:30 daily.
Brainline and CambriLearn’s online schooling students have access to lessons and course content in a more flexible way, students can therefore work at a pace that suits them. However, because they are following the CAPS Curriculum students still have fixed deadlines within which to complete assignments before they can receive their report cards.
