Our approach

Online schools can look alike. The difference is the plan.

Our curriculum covers English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Bible, and History and Geography, along with high school electives and career and technical courses. Every course is rigorous, interactive and written from a Christian worldview, with the aim of building critical thinking and creativity.

We grew quickly in Southern Africa because families and schools needed an online Christian education with an accredited exit qualification. On entry, each learner gets a structured, personal academic plan based on placement tests, with mastery learning all the way to graduation.
