Growing Roots Homeschooling (Pty) Ltd. is a registered South African Homeschooling Service Provider. We provide a CAPS based curriculum with subjects in English and Afrikaans for

Grade R to Grade 9. Our Study Bundles can easily be delivered in South Africa, but also to Ex-Pats overseas.

We provide excellent books and a Daily program for Grade R learners. The emphasis is placed on Language, Mathematics and Life Skills. Included in your Study Bundel is our

School Readiness Test that is assessed by us to ensure that your child is ready to register for Grade 1.

Homeschooling in South Africa is legalized by the South African Schools No. Act 84/1996 Sub-Article 51.

Homeschooling is monitored by the Department of Education through registering your child at the coordinator of your province.

To inform the coordinator of your province that you have chosen homeschooling to educate your Grade R learner or any other grade, we do provide you with their E-mail addresses, contact numbers and the Department's Registration Form in PDF format.

The Daily program that we provide for Grade R learners serve as proof to the coordinator that you are working according to a structured academic program.

Comprehensive homeschooling registration information, the relevant documentation and an academic management program is provided with the Study Bundle to all our learners from Grade 1 to Grade 9.

CAPS: - 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 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!

Parents do not have to be qualified teachers, and we are at your disposal every day to address any academic or administrative problems.

We provide a CAPS based curriculum therefore ensuring that a learner does not receive a sub-standard education. The CAPS' based curriculum is preferred by the Education Department, and it is recognized by universities and colleges in South Africa. Private and Public schools in South Africa must also adhere to the CAPS policy.

It is important to remember that learners can continue to study through Growing Roots Homeschooling. You will never have to change your curriculum to obtain the (NSC) National Senior Certificate.
