First virtual school launched in South Africa

 ·24 Nov 2016

THINK Digital College has launched a virtual school, claiming it to be the first in South Africa to offer a CAPS and Cambridge curriculum from Grade R to Grade 12.

The virtual schooling system makes it possible for students to work from home or from a Think Tutor Centre at the click of a button.

Registrations for the 2017 academic programme are currently open with fees varying from R3,500 per year for Grade R to R9,500 for Grade 12.

Students who get accepted into the school will join an online community and communicate virtually with classmates. All the student needs is a smart phone or tablet and internet connection to complete their schooling from anywhere in the world.

“Our aim is to produce young adults who are innovative, creative and independent in their thinking, who have courage, perseverance and resilience, and who believe in themselves and their potential,” said THINK Digital College CEO Janessa Leita.

Students will be able to complete their school curriculum guided by online teachers through an interactive process where a combination of animation and video will be used as teaching tools.

Students can simply log on to their profile at any hour of the day, work on assignments/projects and then submit their work to be marked.

Electronic feedback will be sent through to their learning coach portal.

THINK Digital College is registered with SACAI and offers both the National Senior Certificate as well as the Cambridge curriculum.
