UCT Online High School is just what we needed.

I have 3 children enrolled in UCTOHS. They started in Grade 8 and have continued up until now. They will be entering grade 12 and grade 11 in 2025. After an adjustment period ( the first year) they have learnt to manage well on an online platform. They have become adept at managing themselves and their own learning. They are not s**** fed and this will stand them in good stead for the future. UCTOHS allows them to work at a more flexible pace and because we live in a rural area they can learn from home without having to go to boarding school. The fees are also more manageable. I've always found the staff to be helpful and responsive. Furthermore, there are no long drives to and from school. Our children have made good friends online and regularly get together for online meet ups or even a movie night. Their computer skills are superb. Computers are the way of the future and I foresee that this mode of education will take off in the near future. I believe I'm preparing my kids well for their next stage in life.

Reviewer Update
Unfortunately, I need to change my review. UCTOHS did not show up for us once our kids approached matric. We saw how.other kids who did well during the year suddenly failed under UCT education and SACAI marking systems. We removed our children at the beginning of grade 12 to another online school. This was quite traumatic in their matric year but UCTOHS gave us the distinct impression that they really didn't care less. Typical cut and paste responses, no personal.care and we felt disiilusioned by their matric capabilities. Sorry UCTOHS, your service may work in the short term but you don't seem to be able to finish well and after all, that's what a learner needs. To finish. Well.
