Homeschooling  for South Africa

The Bela Bill now signed into law - Bela Act, does not change the South Africa Schools Act but rather promotes quality checking to ensure that a Homeschooling Service Provider or any other private or public school does provide a professional service.

Growing Roots Homeschooling provide you with quality books (Learner's Books, Worksheet Books and Teacher's Guides) compiled by professional education experts and the contents of our books are revised and updated on an ongoing basis. This is relevant to all our Grades and all our subjects on offer.

Our CAPS study material is preferred, and we also provide to you our continued support, formal assessments per term and all relevant information throughout the year to ensure that the same standard is provided as if the learner is attending a public or private school.

We are thankful to mention that some of our current learners residing in different areas were visited at their home by different representatives of the education department. We passed the inspections with flying colours, because we do provide professional quality CAPS Learner's books, Workbooks and Teacher's Guides, assessments, registration documentation and all the relevant information and important documentation/forms to parents and learners.

The Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements is a national policy set out by the Education Department that states what should be included in the curricula of schools for each grade in South Africa as well as how it is to be assessed and tested.

The CAPS based curriculum ensures consistency and guidance for teaching, therefore the quality of Learner’s Books, Workbooks and Teacher’s Guides that we provide fully comply with the requirements of the Education Department.

The CAPS policy requires that Learner’s Books had to come with a detailed Teacher’s Guide’s that gave a week-by-week breakdown of what is needed to cover for each subject and grade. You therefore obtain detailed work schedules, assessments, answers, and strategies for teaching in the books that we provide. - You will never have to buy any external assessment program!
