Online learning
Online learning is a schooling method that has been available for some time, but grew increasingly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need and popularity for this learning method has since remained relevant and has only increased in popularity. Discover our approach below.
Curro Online
Curro Online is Curro’s first dedicated quality online school where all classes are presented by dedicated teachers and learners can learn from home. Learners enjoy online lessons with teachers on MS Teams, scheduled according to a structured timetable. All lessons are recorded, and learners can access learning material and recorded lessons online at any time of day. These lessons take place in small groups, and teachers track learners’ progress daily while providing personalised feedback on assignments. They also provide feedback to parents as needed. Our learners are prepared for the IEB exam at the end of Grade 12, although we take a wider world-readiness approach to teaching.
Parents won’t have to teach any classes. All classes take place through live lessons with teachers, and teachers check in on learners’ progress during the day. Parents of primary school learners may initially need to help ensure that they develop a routine that supports their learning, until they have developed the necessary self-discipline. In addition, with no more than 25 learners per class, our teachers will notice when a learner doesn’t attend. As learners need parental permission to miss a class (and watch the recording later), parents will be informed if learners are not attending classes.

Wider subject choices taken online
High school learners can extend their subject choices beyond what is offered at the school in which they are enrolled. Learners can choose from a wide range of subjects that are offered through live online lessons with teachers and take place during the school day. Some lessons follow a self-directed learning approach, while supervisors are present for assistance. These subjects can be seen as an extension of our enhanced curriculum from which learners already benefit.
Learners remain enrolled at their school, they still write the IEB or NSC examination at the end of Grade 12, and their marks reflect on regular progress reports. Gain more information about this amazing offer, or visit your school of choice to discover which subjects they offer.
What are the benefits of online learning?
The greatest benefits of online learning include the following:
- All classes take place through live, online lessons with teachers.
- Since classes are presented live, there is no need for parents to teach.
- Learners work at their own pace within a timetable and can arrange individual or group sessions for help with homework.
- Learners with disabilities or other mobility restrictions can access quality online education without having to attend physical, in-class school.
- Families that travel often can still enjoy uninterrupted teaching while travelling, as long as they have a stable Internet connection.
- Learners are still prepared for the IEB examinations at the end of Grade 12.
- As they learn from home, learners have no need for uniforms, travel costs, or boarding school fees.
- All assessments take place online, which means learners need to travel to an examination centre only for their final IEB examination in Grade 12.
- Learning material at our online school can be re-watched and accessed at any time, as all classes are recorded.
