We’re looking for stories

Every CambriLearn student has a reason for being here. Maybe you train before sunrise. Maybe you learn differently and finally feel at home. Maybe your family moves, travels or lives far from town. Or maybe you just know exactly where you’re going. Whatever your story is, we want to hear it.

I train, perform or compete, and school fits around it
I learn differently, and here I can thrive
We needed a fresh start
We chose to learn at home, on purpose
We move, travel or live far from town
I know where I’m going, and I’m planning for it
Something else makes my story special

FAQs

Questions? Email community@cambrilearn.com

Who can enter?

Open to CambriLearn students aged 10 to 16 on CAPS, KABV, International British or Pearson Edexcel, living in South Africa, with fees up to date. Entries close 23:59, Wednesday 2 December 2026. T&Cs apply.

Do I need to live near Johannesburg or Cape Town?

No. Any eligible learner in South Africa can enter. Shoots are day shoots in Johannesburg or Cape Town, and families cover their own travel.

How many times can I enter?

Once per student. Siblings who are also enrolled at CambriLearn can each enter. If you send more than one entry, we’ll consider the last one.

What does the 100% scholarship cover?

100% of 2027 tuition on the Premium package for CAPS, KABV, International British or Pearson Edexcel (or your current package if you prefer), and the registration fee. If you’ve already paid for 2027, we’ll credit it to your CambriLearn account. It doesn’t cover exam fees, textbooks, devices or travel, and it replaces any other 2027 tuition discount.

How do you choose?

A panel from our marketing team looks at personality and presence on camera, the story and learning journey, how well the entry shows learning with CambriLearn, and the mix of the group. The panel’s decision is final.

What happens to our entry?

Only the panel and our service providers see it. We won’t publish it unless your child becomes a Star and you sign the agreement. If they’re not chosen, we delete it within 60 days.
