How Saving Grace works.
SACAI-registered for the FET Phase, self-paced, and never just a screen. Here's exactly how the school runs, from the first assessment to the matric certificate, and where the real people fit in.
Three steps to the right fit.
We start with your child, not a form. Then we match, then we stay with you both through the year.
Assess
We understand where your child is and how they learn best, before anything is decided. No child is dropped into a grade that doesn't fit.
Match
We place them in the right curriculum and, per subject, the right level, from CAPS to Cambridge to purpose-built Special Needs support.
Support
Then we stay with you both, with weekly check-ins, feedback on every task, and a real teacher a message away, all year long.
A week on Canvas.
Everything your child needs lives in one place, the Canvas learning platform. Here's what a normal week looks like.
Watch the lesson
Pre-recorded video lessons your child can pause, replay and revisit as often as they need.Practise & submit
Worksheets and quizzes to make it stick, then assignments submitted online for marking.Feedback that lands
Detailed memos and comments on every task, weekly and termly.Track progress live
You and your child see exactly where things stand, any time.A teacher, not a bot
Qualified teachers guide the week and answer questions directly.A real person is always behind the platform.
Grace answers in seconds, day or night. Qualified teachers guide the learning with weekly check-ins and feedback, reachable by email, phone or Canvas. Human help here is not an optional extra.
Accredited, and it counts.
Saving Grace is a SACAI-registered distance-education provider, and compliant with the Department of Basic Education. The work leads to a real, recognised qualification.
How assessments work.
Assessment is formal and structured, but built around your child's pace, not a hall full of desks on one fixed morning.
Written when ready
Your child sits each assessment when they've finished the work, within the term's deadlines.Four terms a year
Four assessment points across the year, each with a termly report card.Tasks, orals & assignments
A mix of applied tasks, spoken assessments and written work, per SACAI guidelines.Invigilated from Grade 9
Formal assessments are invigilated through the Invigilator App, keeping results credible.Untimed for Special Needs
Learners on our Special Needs pathways write untimed, with the support they need.Marked with feedback
Every task comes back with a memo and comments, not just a number.Getting set up.
Three practical things, and we walk you through all of them.
Register with the Department
By law you register your child with your Provincial Department of Education. We give you the documents and guide you through it.A device and internet
A laptop or tablet and a reliable connection. Some subjects need you to scan and upload written work.Onboarding & orientation
We set up Canvas, walk you through the platform, and run a parent orientation before you begin.How it works, answered.
The questions parents ask us most, in one place.
