Who we are
A school built by people who want the best for their children, too
We’re a team of parents, dreamers, innovators and believers. Just like you, we want the best for our children.
We don’t just believe in a brighter future. We believe in doing everything we can to make it happen.
Founded by the University of Cape Town and Valenture Institute
UCT Online High School was established in 2021 as a partnership between the University of Cape Town and Valenture Institute.
The school is part of UCT’s Vision 2030, the university’s commitment to expanding access to innovative, high-quality education for all South African teens.
Valenture Institute’s learning technology, analytics and learner support model are at the forefront of online education. By equipping teachers and parents with this technology, it helps learners build the skills they need to flourish in an increasingly digital world.
The outcome is an online high school that prepares learners well for tertiary education, with an engaging, social and personalised learning experience at an affordable price.
Our qualifications aren’t issued by UCT. High School learners write SACAI’s exams for the National Senior Certificate, and Adult Matric learners write the Department of Basic Education’s exams for the Amended Senior Certificate. See how accreditation works.
