Great Experience ~ Thank you!

In the midst of all the chaos, many of us parents who have had a positive experience feel obligated to rather keep quiet to avoid being ostracized. But as a parent of a gr 8 student who switched from a brick and mortar school to the UCTOHS mid-year, I'm more than pleased with the outcome. We have experienced the best and worst of both worlds and we're happy that we decided to take the leap. Our experience has been nothing but positive ~ with an amazing supportive coach [Ammaar] and supportive teachers ~ not once did we feel neglected. Yes, it was a huge adjustment but we did our research beforehand and knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into. So if it meant putting in the extra hours on the weekend to ensure that deadlines were met, we did that. Regardless, this platform gives our children the tools to excel when they reach tertiary level education as well as the the workplace. And as someone who works in the international academic arena, these are the kinds of tools our children so desperately need if they want to stand a chance in the global sphere. So thank you to the UCTOHS for ensuring that my kid's transition was smooth, thank you for the continued support to students and parents alike and we're looking forward to the new academic year!

Dear Rene, 
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. We're so sorry to hear that you've felt ostracised by parents who have had negative experiences - you are as much entitled to your opinion and experience as they are and we greatly appreciate the positive review. It’s wonderful that your daughter has acclimatised to the online school environment and succeeding! We’re so happy to hear you’ve had such a great experience with your daughter’s Success Coach, Ammaar. 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 daughter with us again next year!
Best Regards,
The UCT Online High School Team
