Overview of product
Brainline’s Grade 1–3 programme consists of a fully integrated, day-to-day, scheduled programme that allows your child to be actively involved in developing their skills in the prescribed learning areas. The lessons and resources contain clear guidelines, enabling you as the parent/guardian to guide your child through the required themes.
Self-assessment items are included. You, the parent/guardian, will decide when your child should complete these items, and you are responsible for assessing the items according to the marking guidelines provided.
If enrolled for the optional Formal Final Assessments, these must be downloaded from your child’s online profile on brainONLINE.
Once completed, the assessment documents must be scanned and loaded onto Brainline’s online learning platform, brainONLINE, by the due date. Please keep a copy for future reference.
Formal assessment is optional, but nevertheless an ideal opportunity to externally assess your child’s progress. If your child is enrolled for the formal assessment items, he/she will receive a Brainline report. This is highly recommended as external evidence of your child’s CAPS-compliant assessment and academic record for future academic prospects.
According to the Draft Policy on Home Education, a parent/guardian may set his/her own promotion and retention requirements, provided these are equal to or exceed the standard requirements as determined by the national promotion criteria.
Kindly note that these are only estimated timetables aimed at providing you with an overview of the online class schedule and are not final and may change.
