For homeschooling families
The UK curriculum, with teachers on call, for families who teach at home.
iHubs provides the full Pearson Edexcel International curriculum from Grade R to A-Levels: ready-to-use weekly lessons, live or recorded classes, direct access to qualified teachers and internal assessments that show you where your child actually is.
- Grade R to A-Levels
- Weekly lesson plans
- Teacher access, at the cadence you choose
What you get
Structure for the parent. Specialists for the child.
Teacher access and feedback
Consult experienced teachers once a week, every two weeks or monthly, depending on what your family needs at each stage.
Live or recorded classes
Optional live classes with recordings, so the curriculum still fits around the way your family already lives.
Assessment and progress
Internal assessments and progress reviews through the year, so nothing drifts quietly until an exam finds it.
Grade R to A-Levels
Give them more independence as they grow.
Parent-led work falls as the learner grows, while specialist teaching and subject depth increase. Choose the stage below to see what support changes.

Why the UK curriculum
What the Pearson Edexcel International route gives a South African learner.
Families ask us to compare it with CAPS. This is the honest version.
Qualifications that travel
International GCSEs and A-Levels are accepted by universities and employers worldwide. In South Africa, a matriculation exemption is an extra step, and we explain it up front.
Depth over coverage
The route rewards analysis, application and writing. Assessment is through coursework and final exams.
Early specialisation
Learners choose the subjects that match their strengths and goals, and specialise from there.
The other half
Homeschool, with somewhere to go every week.
Families who use iHubs as their curriculum provider can also join a local hub: four sessions a week for robotics and coding, VR, art, digital creativity, Adulting 101 and Career Explorer, with the same students each time. The hub teaches no curriculum. It is where the social side and the real-world skills happen.

Port Elizabeth opens in November.
If you are not near a hub yet, the curriculum and the teachers work exactly the same way, and we will tell you as soon as a hub is planned near you.
