Primary School Online

Grade 1

Welcome to Grade 1

In Grade 1 with Teneo, your child will attend live online classes starting at 7:45am every day. Lessons are taught by qualified teachers who specialise in online foundation years education.

 

As your child is still navigating their early schooling, some parental involvement is required during Grade 1. Live learning will be accompanied by offline activities supported by you, to help ensure your child is getting the most from their first year of school and is fully prepared for their onward online school journey.

Teachers who make the difference

Brenda

Brenda, 5 Star Review Parent

I love the fact that teaching takes place in a transparent manner. As a Teneo parent, you can monitor how your child behaves and interacts with others, and how the teacher treats your child. I like the fact that we can go back to recorded classes in case our child did not catch up in live classes or is struggling with the content. What I love most is that there is no peer pressure around marks. My child’s marks are confidential and cannot be compared with those of their classmates – they’re for the parents’ eyes only. I am a very happy and satisfied parent.

Shanal Nair, 5 Star Review Parent

The meeting held with Teacher Zana was nothing short of amazing. The feedback on Scarlet was concise in every way. We would like to thank her for her guidance; our daughter has developed into a confident and capable child. Thank you for being such an important part in our child’s development. Your expertise in teaching has put our minds at ease. We are so grateful to have you as our child’s teacher.

Thandeka

Thandeka Mabindisa, 5 Star Review Parent

My 7 year old son in Grade is struggling with expressing himself when communicating, he speaks too fast and most times he finds it hard to string a coherent sentence. Teneo Teachers did not put any labels on my son. His progress is amazing. He can read well, he is very good at Mathematics and doing well in Afrikaans (a language he started this year) I am so pleased with Teneo Education, their system and the teachers’ patience make a difference in a child’s esteem. I am very happy with this school.
