How Grade 8 online school works
Teneo’s Grade 8 online high school opens the high school years with ten subjects and a clear daily structure that helps your child settle in and thrive. Your child can follow timetabled live lessons every weekday from 07:45 to 14:05 (eight 40-minute lessons a day), recorded lessons on a schedule or a mix of the two, all taught by qualified teachers. To homeschool, choose Without classes or Without classes and reports: your child works through every content module on a schedule while you guide them at home.
Grade 8 is taught in English or Afrikaans and follows CAPS, South Africa’s national curriculum, at a school registered with the IEB. With classes, every lesson is saved to the lesson recordings library and you can message teachers directly. In every option, qualified teachers set, mark and moderate assessments, with a promotion report each term. You can enrol at any time of year. Term 1 of 2027 starts on 11 January.

Unparalleled educational experience.
The transition from a traditional private school setting to an online environment represented a significant decision. I am delighted to confirm that Teneo has, to date, provided an unparalleled educational experience.
Genuinely impressed
I am compelled to commend Teneo, I am genuinely impressed by the robust structure, professionalism, and unwavering dedication demonstrated by all the educators who have engaged with my children.
Great teachers & very supportive staff.
Great teachers, very supportive, & very supportive staff. We’ve been with TENEO since 2019 & are still very happy.
Tony KadamaTonyMost Improved
We are incredibly proud of our daughter’s progress at Teneo School... She is now more confident in asking questions, seeking guidance when needed and discussing her progress with (her teachers). One of the biggest motivators for her has been seeing her steady improvement on the Teneo leaderboard, which has inspired her to work even harder.
I would highly recommend Teneo Education to any parent
The level of care, encouragement, and commitment shown by the entire Teneo team has made a significant difference in Samantha’s educational journey. I can confidently say that I would highly recommend Teneo Education to any parent looking for a supportive, high-quality learning environment for their child.
