Good support structure

I would like to write about how good UCTOHS has been to my son that's doing grade 8 at the school. After applying for grade 8 at normal government schools didn't produce good results, my son suggested online schooling and we reviewed a few and ended up at UCTOHS. I have to say it was a bit tricky at the beginning with all the changes but with their innovative ideas especially the support coach, my word... Lelethu has been nothing but the best as a support coach to my son. When we had a power outage and my son couldn't write an exam, we were panicking but Lelethu was there to guide us. I can say from 2nd term my son's marks were getting better and besides the few teething problems UCTOHS had at the beginning but they always made sure that we were on the right track. Online school though is NOT for everyone, I tell my friend that if his child needs a teacher supervision all the time or needs to be chased in order they do their homework, then online school is not for them, more especially UCTOHS as to me it's teaching the kids how to work independently. I like that. Love the parent portal as well... From here UCTOHS can only get better and better.

Dear Mpendulo, 
Thank you for your glowing and detailed review! It's always great to hear that learners are happy at UCT Online High School and are progressing well with their studies. It’s wonderful that your son has acclimatised to the online school environment and succeeding! As you have said, it is important for parents to know that however much support we may give their child in the curriculum, at the end of the day they also have to take responsibility and discipline for their studies. From next year, we are introducing a range of enhancements for learners who find studying online challenging, which we are confident will assist them to keep up to pace in moving through the school year. We have learned a great deal in our first year and are very excited for the improvements we have in-store for 2023 and beyond! 
Looking forward to having your son with us again next year!
Best Regards,
The UCT Online High School Team

Best regards,
