Across Cape Town
Long school runs and crowded classrooms lead many Cape Town families to learn at home. Every live class is recorded, so a missed session can be rewatched for 7 days.
Aligned with South African schools
Mentors work from your child’s own coursework, or from Abugida’s grades 3–12 curriculum for homeschoolers, and build the skills behind the NSC (matric), IEB and Cambridge exams, plus the SAT and AP exams for students applying to universities abroad.
- Western Cape public schools (CAPS)
- Independent schools writing IEB exams
- Cambridge international schools
- Registered home educators

Results
How we measure it: mentors keep a regular check on each student’s homework and school grades and compare them with the grades the student had when classes began. That check is part of the service, so busy parents don’t have to chase report cards.
