Five subjects, five A grades.

The step up from International GCSEs to AS Level was the hardest part. Lia worked through it with past papers and a weekly plan she kept to, and she asked her teachers questions until each topic made sense.

How she worked

Pace

She finished the syllabus a month before exams, so revision time was spent revising.

Understanding

She learned how topics connect instead of memorising notes.

Method

Content first, then past papers, then exam technique, kept as separate stages.

What CambriLearn provided

Live, timetabled lessons taught by specialist subject teachers
Recorded lessons for going back over difficult topics
Time with teachers one to one for questions
A learning portal that keeps every subject in one place

Online learning taught me responsibility and independence. Without a traditional classroom structure, I developed strong self-discipline and internal motivation. With the right routine, online education can be as effective or even more effective than traditional schooling.

Lia's advice to other students

01

Plan the week in advance and follow the plan.

02

Clear up confusion on the day it appears.

03

Put breaks and a daily walk in the schedule.

Shaakirah

International GCSE, now taking A Levels

Shaakirah earned A grades in three of her International GCSE subjects and is working through her A Levels now. She was placed in the academic top five at high school and holds an Eisteddfod Prestige award.

She plans to finish her A Levels and apply to universities in the United Kingdom and Europe, then study Accounting and Finance.

The Eskom Expo is the largest school science competition in South Africa. Every entrant has to present at a compulsory district round before reaching a regional fair, and projects are assessed at each stage by panels drawn from engineering, medicine, research and academia.

Finalists from the regional fairs go on to the Eskom Expo International Science Fair, held in Gauteng at the end of September.

Mapula Gold

An affordable prosthetic leg

Mapula designed an adjustable, modular below knee prosthesis for low income communities, built from materials available locally. Her mentor, Mr Waheed, supported the project from the first sketch. She is now working on a knee joint for above knee amputees.

I hope to have a fully functioning prosthetic that is affordable, strong, durable and comfortable.

Mapula
Joni Gold

A biodegradable sanitary pad

Joni read that some commercial sanitary pads contain chemicals linked to health problems. She developed a pad that is affordable for rural communities, biodegradable and free of those ingredients. She now wants to start a charity to distribute it.

My teachers have been incredibly supportive and encouraging. They have always been willing to answer my questions, guide me when I needed help, and motivate me to do my best.

Joni
Ruth Silver

Safer foam for firefighters

A visit to a fire station led Ruth to PFAS, the chemicals used in firefighting foam and protective gear that have been linked to long term illness. Her project compares PFAS based foam with fluorine free alternatives on safety and performance.

My mission is that if I can't figure out a substitute that is safer, to spread awareness of the issue.

Ruth

All three projects were completed alongside a full academic timetable, with subject teachers and mentors available throughout.

03Sport

National titles and international selection

CambriLearn students compete without leaving school. Lessons are timetabled in the morning and recorded, so a tournament week does not mean missed work.

Casey won the Nomads SA Girls Championship in the Championship Division. She then helped Team SA win the All Africa Junior Team Championships, which qualified the team for the Junior World Cup in Japan.

She trains and travels through the school year. Her lessons are timetabled in the morning and recorded, so she can catch up between rounds without falling behind on the syllabus.

04Student projects

A museum opened by an eight year old

Tessa is a Stage 5 student in Phalaborwa, Limpopo. At eight she opened a public museum of fossils, rocks, crystals and rare artefacts, including a meteorite dated at 4.6 billion years.

Tessa

Museum founder and curator

It started at seven with a visit to the Foskor Museum. The curator, Gloria, showed her around, and Tessa spent the months that followed designing an exhibit of her own. She now shows visitors through it herself.

Mornings are for lessons

Live, timetabled lessons keep the school day to a set window.

Afternoons are for the museum

She catalogues the collection, researches new pieces and guides visitors.

The same questions either way

The British Curriculum trains her to ask of a topic what she asks of a fossil.
