International Schooling provides a secure, home-based online learning environment that allows students to focus on academics without safety or commute-related concerns.

With International Schooling, students earn valid transcripts and an accredited American High School Diploma, supported by College Board approval and recognized by universities worldwide.
Flexible Schedules for Personal Excellence
Many South African students actively pursue sports, arts, and competitive training, making fixed school schedules difficult to sustain.
We offer flexible live classes and personalized learning schedules, allowing students to balance academics with sports and passions without sacrificing academic quality.
NCAA & College Board Pathway for Student-Athletes
Student-athletes need academic programs that meet international eligibility standards while supporting long-term athletic goals.
Our curriculum aligns with NCAA requirements and College Board standards, ensuring students remain eligible while building strong university pathways.
English-First Learning
South African students speak English mixed with local dialects at home but need strong academic English to succeed in international education environments.
Our English-medium curriculum builds global readiness, with teachers teaching in over 40 languages who support students through language transitions ensuring clarity, confidence, and steady progress.
