School fees do not include textbooks, but we prescribe titles and list suppliers so parents can choose. Download the textbook lists on our website.

Our teachers aren't specialist trained in special-needs education, but many students who learn differently do well with us. Recorded lessons can be revisited as often as a student needs, the environment is calm and structured, and support is considered case by case. Talk to a consultant about your child's needs.

Yes, there are exam-affiliated learning centres across South Africa where students can write physical exams, tests and assessments. Families aren't required to use a CambriLearn-affiliated centre.

Yes. The US K-12 pathway carries NCAA-approved courses, so student-athletes can maintain eligibility for Division I and II scholarships while training at elite level, on the way to a Cognia-accredited US High School Diploma.

No. CambriLearn is an accredited online private school with qualified teachers, live timetabled lessons, marked assessments and structured terms. Parents support the routine, but the teaching is done by the school.

School reports, in plain English

School reports are written in a language of their own. Paste a comment from your child's report and our free Report Translator tells you what it actually means, and what to ask about next. No sign-up, no cost, whatever school your child attends.

Translate a School Report
What the report says

"Shows satisfactory progress but must apply herself more consistently in assessments."

What it means

She is meeting the expected standard, and her marks dip when preparation is rushed rather than because the work is too hard. Ask the teacher which assessment format she loses marks in, and what a good week of preparation looks like.

Why we exist

Every child deserves a school that fits them

Mainstream school works for many children, though not for every child. CambriLearn was built for the rest: those who need a calmer environment, closer support from their teachers, or the ability to learn from anywhere while they train, travel or recover. Two decades on, that is still why we exist, and it is why the school is built for how your child thinks.

CambriLearn is accredited by Cognia and is an approved Pearson Edexcel centre. CambriLearn is registered with SACAI and the IEB, both accredited by Umalusi as assessment and examination bodies, and US K-12 courses are NCAA approved. The International British Curriculum* at CambriLearn leads to International GCSE and International A Level qualifications. *CambriLearn is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a registered centre of Cambridge Assessment International Education. University acceptance figures reflect CambriLearn graduate outcomes across all pathways.
