    Anchored Education has a dedicated pool of academics and course-matter experts whose support and guidance may be sought at various times and intervals.

    Parents and learners can book an Orientation session and individual sessions with a consultant about the School.

    Individual sessions can be booked per Grade for the learner to have a live experience with a teacher.

    Parents may schedule an appointment with a teacher at [email protected].

    Lecturers will monitor learners’ progress and make individual follow-ups on risk learners.

    Besides the large team of academic and subject-matter experts, the Anchored Education Academic Team also includes specialized counsellors, parenting experts, and career advisors.

    Members of our Academic Team have performed exceptionally well in their respective fields and have rich and varied experience in disciplines ranging from Maths, Science, Technology, Art, etc.

    When the teachers share this considerable depth and breadth of experience with learners, the development and growth of learners are holistic and multidimensional. We believe in a person-centered approach. For more information, call us at (+27) 010 880 5567 or email us at [email protected].

    There are many advantages to studying at Anchored Education:

    • Academic flexibility: You (the parent/learner) determine the pace and approach. Home-schooling is an option whether a child is active, behind, creative, gifted, or quiet.
    • Efficient learning: A low learner-teacher ratio and no wasted time enable meaningful learning.
    • Accommodating special situations.

    There are options for transferring your previous credits, coursework, and academic accomplishments. You are guided through such options when you enroll with us. You need to complete this process before starting with any assessments.

    You can earn credits by choosing and completing courses. You can also select extra courses, provided you can put in the prescribed time and input needed to complete such coursework.

    Learners study in their own time and space according to their unique learning needs. Learners can progress at their own pace within the 42 weeks. Any course extension must serve at the office of the School Coordinator and is not automatically granted as it is subject to a policy.

    You are not able to do two Grades simultaneously.

    • The credit system prescribes a minimum number of credits a learner must complete to earn a passing/qualification status in a particular course or grade.
    • Learners receive a transcript after successfully completing a grade.

    The learner gets their transcript at the end of a grade and can send it to SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority). They rate it for the learner to return to a South African school (CAPS).

    It should be noted that the American curriculum is of a very high standard. Thus, when transferring from the CAPS curriculum to our curriculum, the learner is subject to pre-tests to evaluate their academic level.

    Elementary School is Grade K-5 and has six fixed courses.

    Middle School is Grade 6–8, and a learner has various courses but requires a minimum of six credits per grade. Honors courses are available in Middle School.

    High School is Grade 9–12.

    Regular, Honors, and Advanced courses are available:

    • Regular courses – general matric
    • Honors courses – improves your GPA score with 0.5
    • Advanced placement courses (7th subject) Grade 9-12 – additional points to strengthen your access to Higher Education
