Take schooling to the next level with the Impaq Online School
We have launched a brand-new Impaq Online School at a time when demand for distance education continues to grow rapidly. For 20 years, we have been a leader in structured homeschooling in South Africa. During this period, more than 169 000 learners have used our educational services.
With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for our homeschooling offering – which follows the CAPS curriculum and caters for Grade R – 12 learners – has accelerated, with record numbers of families switching to this form of education in the last 18 months.

Amid this backdrop, we have embarked on taking schooling to the next level by launching a fully catered-for online school for English- and Afrikaans-speaking learners.
Welcome to the Impaq Online School
The introduction of the Impaq Online School is a continuation of our dedication to providing excellent education to distance learners. Admissions to the online school opened officially on the 1st of September 2021, with the school set to cater to Grade 7 – 11 learners in 2022. Plans are in place to expand the offering to other grades from 2023.
While our traditional homeschooling offering sees parents taking on most of the teaching, the online school will allow parents to have their children attend online classes led by highly qualified teachers. Our knowledgeable teachers will:
- facilitate classes throughout the day,
- cover all material,
- build interpersonal relationships,
- track and encourage learner progress, and
- answer any questions in real-time.
Class sizes are capped at 30 learners per class, allowing for an individualised and social learning experience.

The Impaq Online School provides learners with a fully supported learning experience to help them flourish in an online environment while maintaining academic excellence. The Online School offers learners the following:
