The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the necessity to look towards the future, as remote working becomes the new reality for a number of industries and education moves online.
This ‘new normal’ has elevated the need for alternative ways for our children to learn, including comprehensive online institutions designed to ensure that students receive a well-rounded, quality education.
In short, we need to adapt to a world that blends the old with the new.
Valenture Institute, a global private online high school, has secured a number of properties around the country, from Dunkeld to Constantia and Newlands, and is set to open South Africa’s first tech-enabled, boutique campuses in January 2021.
This further extends the world-class globally competitive education that Valenture is already known for, to include a holistic support system of parents and students through vital support services.
In a nutshell, here’s how a tech-enabled boutique campus works:
- Students learn online
- Learners create and collaborate with peers on campus
- Grade 8-13 students are supported by mentors in-person, daily, from Valenture’s staff of highly qualified learning coaches, who will assist students with personalising their timetables (balancing both social and academic priorities). They will also review the progress of each student against their personal goals, every week.
- Families have all-access to exclusive features to fit their lifestyle – yes, parents can indulge in many of the perks of campus life!
Those perks include exclusive features and facilities:
- A COVID-19 monitored learning environment
- A globally recognised qualification and British Curriculum
- Online classes with global classmates and expert teachers and innovators situated around the world
- Private study pods to get focused between classes
- Daily mentor support for each student on-site
- Catered meals for students and families and smoothie bar
- A production and entertainment space for students to get creative
- A grocery delivery service for all your household needs
You’ll find a comprehensive breakdown of fees on the Valenture website.
Valenture also understands that, due to the global crisis, parents are in a difficult place with loss of incomes and school closures.
With this in mind, Valenture has created a payment concession to alleviate school fee penalties in the transition to online learning and enrolment at the institute.
After successful admission, Valenture will offer a fee discount to allow for their current school fee penalties to alleviate the financial burden. The fee discount will be applied on a case by case basis and dependent on the payment agreement with their current education provider.
