VHS is not like the other online high schools. It is purpose built to remove the endless conference call lessons that require unrealistic and fast connectivity. VHS is a fully interactive, multimedia and analytic-focused Virtual High School that allows students to learn when they are connected, when they have electricity, at the pace they feel most comfortable and with feedback on every learning outcome. VHS is less than a third of the cost of the nearest online schools and with 80% of the virtual school driven by simulations, interactive activities and engaging gamified virtual science experiments.
The Virtual High School is aligned with CAPS and approved by the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute.
Although VHS is only registering Grade 8- 11 in 2023, VHS is preapproved to provide matriculation and will be expanding to Grades 7-12 in 2024.

The Virtual High School is a collaboration with the award winning IDEA Education Group who have been delivering digital education across South Africa for eight years. The very best of the South African national CAPs digital curriculum, assessment and reporting are provided inside the personalised digital learner portal.
The digital curriculum covers all topics as required by the Department of Basic Education and for every topic and concept area students will complete small assessments. This allows for constant feedback all the way through the program.
All of the learner’s progress and assessment results are clearly displayed in both the parent and learner portal as well as live reports.
Parents are notified about student progress or issues through email, sms notifications and whatsapp. Parents have access to student achievement and participation data, and review report cards through dashboards. Students receive live, up to date data on their achievement and participation. They can review their report cards through dashboards and request additional help or clarification from teachers.
