The world of homeschooling has grown rapidly in South Africa — especially as more families seek flexible, safe, and high-quality learning options for their children. With this growth, however, has come an increase in unaccredited, unregulated, and sometimes misleading “online schools” that operate without meeting national standards.
At Saving Grace Education Group, we believe that parents deserve clarity, transparency, and confidence when choosing the right educational path. This is why we are honoured to announce that we are fully registered with SACAI for the FET Phase for the 2026 academic year as an Online School for CAPS.
This registration is not just a certificate — it is a commitment to excellence, accountability, and quality.

🛑 Why Due Diligence Matters When Choosing a Homeschool Provider
With the rise of digital education, many platforms have emerged — but not all are legitimate. Parents are often unaware of the risks of enrolling with unregistered or unaccredited “online schools.”
Before enrolling your child anywhere, ask these critical questions:
1️⃣ Is the school accredited or registered with an official assessment body?
A legitimate online homeschool must be registered with SACAI, IEB, or another recognised assessment authority for Grades 10–12.
2️⃣ Are the assessments properly moderated and compliant with CAPS or Cambridge requirements?
Unmoderated assessments can result in marks being rejected or learners repeating grades later.
3️⃣ Does the school use secure, recognised systems for learning?
Platforms such as Canvas LMS, Google Workspace, and structured assessment systems show professional standards.
4️⃣ Are teachers qualified and accountable?
It is essential to ensure that educators are trained, experienced, and supported by academic leadership.
5️⃣ Is the school transparent about fees, reports, and support systems?
Reputable institutions clearly outline processes, timelines, expectations, and parent responsibilities.
💡 The Risks of Choosing an Unaccredited Homeschool Provider
Parents should be aware that enrolling a child in an unregistered online school can lead to:
❌ Invalid assessments
❌ Missing report cards
❌ No progression into FET Phase
❌ Learners unable to write matric
❌ Loss of time, money, and academic stability
❌ Emotional stress and anxiety for both parents and children
A proper online school is not just a website.
It is an institution with systems, compliance, academic integrity, and accountability.
