FAQ

We are an online international Upper Primary and Secondary School that do all our teaching remotely over the internet and in real-time.

We offer live, scheduled classes accessible during normal school hours. Our learners interact with their teachers and other learners just as they normally would in a formal classroom. Same experience- but from home.

We cover grades 5 through to Grade 12, and A-Levels.

Teaching is scheduled to begin in the second week of June, 2020. Orientation of learners will be conducted in the first week of June to ensure they are prepared for classes.

We offer the world’s most sought after international academic programs for Upper Primary and Secondary School. This includes the Cambridge International GCSE (IGCSE), the Cambridge GCE, as well as national programs from South Africa, and Zambia.

Although the Explorer School is not yet a registered examination center (as we offer online learning and have no provisions to administer online final exams) you will be able to study, practice answering exam questions, discuss and troubleshoot tricky topics with your peers and tutors and register to write your exams via your chosen center.

International GCSE and AS/A-Level Qualifications allow students to write exams almost anywhere in the world. This can be done through the British Council and registered Cambridge schools that accept private candidates. We are happy to share a list of these institutions in your countries. To get this information contact us at admissions@explorer.school. Clearly state the country you wish to write your exams in and we will provide as much support with a list of the registered exam centers that accept independent candidates near you.

The Explorer School uses Class Guru, its proprietary e-Learning system to enable learners to interact with their Teachers and with each other both during and after class time. Learners can also submit assignments, course work, projects and homework on Class Guru. In addition, teachers can upload all course materials which will be made available to learners whenever they need it. Class Guru is also a social network that enables its entire community of learners to build lasting friendships just like they would in a normal school campus. Learner safety and protection is of the highest importance to us. All Teachers are screened and we conduct background checks on every applicant to prioritize the well-being of our community both for our learners and teachers.

Learners have access to subject specific chat rooms moderated by Teachers to give learners and parents an opportunity to fully engage with different topics.
