SUBJECTS WE OFFER FOR THE DIFFERENT GRADES

Ivy Academy offers students the opportunity to utilize its Computers Centre for their online lessons, informal assessment, and submission of their formal assessments.

Ivy Academy assists learners on their journey by providing online classes, continuous informal assessment to keep track of their progress and support in the form of qualified teachers to help with any difficulty that the learner may experience. In addition to this we have Computer centres across the country for those learners that do not have the facilities at their disposal. Learners may come to these centres to take their online classes, complete their SBAs (Site Based Assessments), and take their formal exams (June, November and Preliminary). Ivy Academy registers learners with SACAI a provisionally accredited Assessment Body for the completion of the NSC qualification.

Currently tasks are emailed directly to the client at the beginning of each term, on the date specified on our year plan. We are updating the system and will let you know about any changes. Tests (Term 1 and 3) and Exams (Term 2 and 4) : A timetable is made available to the clients on our website and via email 1 month before the test series / exam starts. The learners must provide us with the detail of their invigilator. The exams are then made available on our website 1 day prior to it being written and the passwords to access the exams are emailed to the invigilator.

Some of our subjects have pre-recorded videos and others will have live lessons. A schedule for the live lessons will be made available to the learner at the start of a term. Please note that these live lessons will be recorded and made available to the learners. We also have subject experts to assist a learner in problem areas.

As this is a National Qualification the promotion requirements will be the same as that of a school, therefore a valid Report Card of the previous year is needed. Note that to register for Gr 12 you will need to present a valid Gr 10 and Gr 11 Report.

At the end of Gr 10 and 11 the student will receive a Progress Report form Ivy Academy and if the learner was successful he/she receive the National Senior Certificate after his/her Grade 12 year.

The learner receives all tasks for the term at a specific date as indicated on our year plan this will include instructions that explains exactly what is expected from the learner

Learners scan and upload the work as they complete it and not later than the date specified on their General Information Sheets / also on the year plan. Tests and Exams are uploaded by the Invigilator within an hour after the session is completed.

The final mark is made up from the formal assessments sent by Auxilio. This includes tasks, tests and exams. The weighting per subject can be found in the CAPS document.
