FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This simply means that the South African matric’s credibility is not collapsing, but has already collapsed! There are no reasons why any caring parent would want to associate their child’s education with what is considered by many to be a worthless piece of paper.
Obtaining the GED® “matric/grade 12” equivalent still allows farther study at a tertiary level in South Africa, plus is also recognised internationally. So with no downside and only advantages, why look elsewhere.
We have developed a comprehensive series of English language courses that will help remedy that problem! They are designed for second language English speakers or those English speakers that need assistance to improve their English.
This course is called Cyber School English and caters for all levels of English assistance and can be completed after hours, during holiday periods, and at a student’s convenience and pace. There are 15 courses starting from beginner to tertiary and a pre-admission assessment will guide each student into the appropriate course level.
English Partner Pro: These are supplementary English skills (Reading, Writing, Listening & Speaking) to help ensure a higher command of English for tertiary study and or for your professional life and career. There is also one level that can lead to the international Cambridge IELTS accreditation and a further 5 courses to bring your English up to a level acceptable for Tertiary study.

The advantage of home schooling is that parents can choose their child’s friends, unlike traditional schools whereby children may be negatively influenced by unsuitable friends. Your child doesn’t need to have twenty friends; four good playmates is about the same size group your child would socialize with in a traditional school. In addition to this, children have siblings, cousins and neighbours whom they often visit.
Please see the Social Curriculum page for more information about the system offered to assist with this process.
We recommend that you test your internet connection to see that it is of an acceptable standard. To do this, go to http://www.speedtest.net/. Take the test by clicking “Begin Test”.
Once completed, your test results will be displayed and your line quality given a score. If your line quality score is an A or B, your quality should be fine for our purposes. If not, then you need to ask your service provider why and when they are going to fix it to an acceptable standard. Otherwise, you need to switch to one of our preferred providers.
Typically, we do not recommend Iburst, MTN, Vodacom, Cell C or 8ta, as these products are not designed for audio or video streaming, but rather for emailing whilst mobile. It must be stressed that the quality of a connection depends on your localised infrastructure; this includes your proximity to your nearest mast and how congested it is at the times you wish to gain access. The cell phone operators’ new LTA service is an exception to this and if your local mast is LTA enabled combined with your modem, that should be more than sufficient.
We recommend one of two options; either a Telkom ADSL line (1 megabyte and above speed) or a satellite internet service within South Africa that is national and can cater for students anywhere in the country, including rural areas. With this service, your proximity to a local mast is not important as it uses a satellite.
