Online High School, Primary School and Pre-Primary School offering CAPS, IEB & British International (Pearson Edexcel) Curriculum Options
Teneo is South Africa’s leading online High School, Primary School and Pre-Primary School. A school that has reimagined and elevated the structure and quality of premium in-person private schooling.
Teneo School’s Smart School System™ is an intelligent learning ecosystem that combines quality teaching, data insights, behavioural science and AI to deliver measurable academic improvement for every learner, of any ability.
With more than 5,000 learners, Teneo offers a wide range of fully accredited curriculum options, including the South African CAPS Curriculum, IEB and SACAI Matric pathways, and the British International Curriculum (Pearson Edexcel). Learners can study through live online lessons, hybrid learning, or recorded classes, all designed to fit their individual needs and goals — whether preparing for local tertiary study or global opportunities.
Our Smart School System™ continuously tracks learner progress in real time, identifying gaps early so teachers can step in with personalised support. Gamified tools such as streaks, badges, and leaderboards keep learners motivated and engaged. The results are proven: learners improve their marks by an average of 12% in the first year, 25% by year four, and pass rates double within five years. Learners with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia achieve similar, or even greater, improvements.
With over 200 qualified educators, Teneo School combines the best of human teaching and technology to ensure every learner receives the attention they deserve. Parents have full visibility through the Teneo Parent App, with real-time updates on progress, attendance, and performance.
Teneo School’s online schooling extends beyond academics, offering a wide range of over 40 extramural, clubs and wellness activities — from sports and debate to yoga, social connect sessions, and enrichment programmes — helping learners stay active, connected, and balanced.
Teneo School’s Smart School System™ brings together the best of human teaching with motivation and data in one connected platform, creating a smarter, more inclusive school that drives measurable improvement, enabled through technology.
