Curriculum

The schooling is delivered via Android Cellphone or Tablet depending on the option you choose. The entire student experience is online and students can be based anywhere as long as there is a good quality cellphone signal. Students simply download an App for their Android cellphone and they can access their own classroom in their pocket!

Students receive their academic content in various ways;

 
  • Ebooks (these are digital textbooks that are downloaded to the student’s Android smartphone)
 
  • Access to a student’s calendar that gives daily guidance on what the student should be doing
 
  • Access to frequent assessments in all subjects. We believe in continuous assessment as and when students learn a topic. This mirrors the real world where you are constantly tested and have to deliver on what you know, unlike unrealistic, stressful exams a few times a year.
 
  • Access to 2832 audio lessons (here each lesson is also delivered in audio format)
 
  • Access to each lesson as a game that can be played! The curriculum includes 2832 games, one for each lesson, for each subject, on each day. We believe that learning should be fun and interactive and this makes learning the SLC (School Leaver Certificate) exactly that!
 
  • Each student learns for 181 academic days per year, which is the standard amongst most schools worldwide. Also, the SLC uses a school calendar with three terms per year, either from January to December or August to June. Report cards are accessible at the end of each term.
