aterfall Online offers students (initially from Grades 6 to 10) access to consistent, excellent teaching with the learner’s well-being at the heart of every decision.

to navigate a rapidly changing world, and the drive to make a difference,” says Principal Jeanette van der Merwe.

Ongoing communication between students, teachers and parents enhances the learning experience. Waterfall Online has grown from Waterfall College – a small school, built on a foundation of Christian values and ethics. The College is known for its small classes and exceptional teachers, and has achieved a 100% IEB matric pass rate 16 years running. Waterfall Online will run independently from the campus school, but share this same ethos. The benefits of online learning are extensive and include refined critical-thinking and complex problem-solving skills, improved virtual communication and collaboration (vital for the world of work), and the opportunity for a family-defined learning environment. A structured programme, supervised daily by qualified teachers who are passionate about the opportunities of digital learning, will see

students engaged in interactive lessons with teachers and fellow students. Subjects for Grades 6 to 9 include English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Economic and Management Sciences, Technology, Arts and Culture and Life Orientation. Grade 10s will be able to select from English, Afrikaans or isiZulu, Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy, Life Orientation, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, History, Geography and Business Studies. Regular collaborative group sessions will extend the educational experience and promote positive relationships, covering topics from study skills to personal development, Christian values and community connection. Teachers and guest speakers will promote a positive sense of self, while encouraging students to pursue a healthy lifestyle, balancing physical fitness, culture, service and leadership. This provides a platform for genuine engagement and for a sense of belonging. Every child is encouraged to contribute to the school experience.
