Ways to learn: live, recorded or homeschooling
School your way.
With teachers who make the difference.
A live classroom, a lesson to revisit or content to work through on a clear schedule. Teneo Online School has five learning options for Grades R to 12, from 100% Live Classes to its two homeschooling options from Grade 4. In every option except Without Classes and Reports, qualified teachers set, mark and moderate the assessments.
Options vary by grade, language and assessment body.
The people behind the learning
The technology helps us see. Our teachers know how to respond.
An expert teacher who makes a difficult idea click. Someone to ask when a lesson leaves you stuck. Feedback that shows you what to work on next. The people behind the learning make the difference.
Teachers you can reach.
Ask questions through direct teacher messaging and keep the conversation going beyond the lesson.
Direct messaging is included with all three class options.
Feedback with direction.
Assessments set, marked and moderated by qualified teachers, with termly promotion reports to show how learning is progressing.
Included with all three class options and Without Classes.
Support that responds.
Subject-specific gap detection and personalised academic support help learners work on the areas that need attention.
Included with all three class options. Available as a paid add-on with Without Classes.
Without Classes also includes after-school, teacher-led, subject-specific group tutorials. Without Classes and Reports provides content modules with a schedule, for single subjects or a full curriculum; it excludes classes, direct teacher messaging, teacher marking, reports and group tutorials.

Questions parents may ask.
Understand the differences, then take the next step with confidence.
Will my child be able to contact a teacher?
Direct teacher messaging is included with 100% Live Classes, Mix of Live and Recorded Classes and 100% Recorded Classes. Without Classes includes teacher-marked assessments and after-school group tutorials, but excludes direct teacher messaging. Without Classes and Reports excludes these services.
Is recorded learning completely self-paced?
Recorded lessons follow a schedule. Learners can pause and revisit recordings while keeping their learning on track. Without Classes also provides a schedule for the content modules; it excludes a classes timetable.
Do all options include assessments and reports?
The first four options include assessments set, marked and moderated by qualified teachers, plus termly promotion reports. Without Classes and Reports excludes both. Adding lesson recordings to that option does not add assessments or reports.
Can we choose individual subjects?
Without Classes and Without Classes and Reports both offer Full Curriculum or Single Subjects. Admissions can confirm availability for your child’s grade, subjects, language and assessment body.
