Accredited, and it counts.
Saving Grace is SACAI-registered specifically for the FET Phase of its CAPS online school. CAPS FET learners in Grades 10 to 12 work toward the National Senior Certificate through SACAI, a real, nationally recognised qualification.
What accreditation actually means here.
Homeschooling only works if it leads somewhere. Saving Grace is registered with SACAI, the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute, the same body behind the National Senior Certificate. That registration is what makes your child's assessments count.
As a registered distance-education provider we follow rigorous guidelines and are evaluated regularly. We teach the national CAPS curriculum from Grade R to Grade 12, run accredited termly assessments, and stay compliant with the Department of Basic Education. SACAI registration itself applies to the CAPS FET Phase, Grades 10 to 12.
For the FET phase, Grades 10 to 12, your child is enrolled through SACAI and works toward the National Senior Certificate, the same matric qualification recognised by South African universities and colleges.

The registrations behind the school.
Four things make the qualification real, and every one of them is checkable.
Assessed to the same standard as any accredited school.
Assessment is not a formality here. It is aligned to the CAPS curriculum, measured across subjects and grades, and moderated by qualified educators. That is what lets a homeschooled child stand on the same certificate as any other South African learner.
