CambriLearn Fees: What’s Included vs. Optional

When exploring the cost of online schooling, it’s important to understand exactly what you’re paying for. At CambriLearn, our pricing model has been carefully designed to give families the flexibility to choose the support level that best suits their child’s needs and learning style.

Below, we explain what is included in our Standard and Premium packages, followed by a brief overview of any additional costs to consider.

Standard Package

Our Standard package is ideal for students who are self-motivated and comfortable working independently, with access to key academic support and resources.

• Live lessons: students have access to scheduled live-streamed lessons where key concepts are taught by experienced teachers, helping to structure their week and keep learning on track.
• Recorded live lesson library: all live lessons are recorded and made available in a lesson library, allowing students to review the material at any time and revisit complex topics at their own pace.
• Chat forums: learners can interact with fellow students through moderated chat forums, allowing them to ask questions, share ideas and feel part of an online community.
• Student tracker: our intuitive student tracker helps parents and students monitor academic progress, keeping everyone informed and on track.
• Marked exams and assessments: students submit their work for formal assessment, and our qualified markers provide feedback to guide academic improvement.
• Reports: CambriLearn provides regular reports that reflect student progress and academic standing, which can be shared with other education providers if needed.
• Academic support:  if a student shows signs of falling behind, a CambriLearn support advisor will reach out to the parent to discuss possible solutions.
• Interactive learning content: lessons include quizzes and interactive activities to reinforce learning and keep students engaged.

Premium Package

The Premium package includes all the features of the Standard package, along with enhanced access to teacher support and exam preparation.

• Direct chat with teachers: students can message teachers directly to ask specific questions and receive personalised responses.
• Online Q&A sessions: live sessions give students the opportunity to ask questions and clarify topics in real-time with a qualified teacher.
• Mock exams: premium students have access to mock exams that help them prepare more effectively for formal assessments.

Extra Fees

While CambriLearn covers all core educational services in our packages, families should budget for the following additional costs.

• Textbooks: courses will require textbooks, which are not included in the package fees.
• Internet: a stable internet connection is essential for accessing lessons, submitting assessments and joining live sessions.
• Technology: students need access to a suitable device, such as a computer, laptop, or tablet, to use the CambriLearn platform effectively.
• Stationery: basic school supplies like notebooks, pens and calculators are required for day-to-day learning activities.
• Examination fees: for higher-level qualifications, such as IGCSE, AS/A Levels, and NSC Matriculation, families will need to pay separate exam centre fees when registering for final exams.

CambriLearn Fees vs. Public and Private Schools

CambriLearn offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional schooling, with fees ranging from R5 340 to R43 260 per year for the South African CAPS curriculum and from $870 to $3 705 per year for the British curriculum. In comparison, public schools in South Africa typically charge between R27 900 and R41 900 annually, while private school fees can range from R100 000 to R400 000 per year.

Beyond tuition, traditional schooling often comes with hidden expenses that can add up quickly. These include transport or petrol costs for daily school runs, uniforms, aftercare services, school outings, and ongoing contributions to fundraising events.

CambriLearn’s transparent pricing helps families plan more accurately by clearly outlining what is included. With fewer additional costs and greater flexibility, CambriLearn provides an affordable and high-quality education solution that fits comfortably into many household budgets.

Why CambriLearn Doesn’t Believe in Hidden Fees

At CambriLearn, we believe that transparency is key to building trust with the families we serve. Choosing an online school is a major decision, and understanding the full cost upfront plays an essential role in that process. Many parents have experienced the frustration of hidden fees or unexpected costs after enrolling their children in a programme. We want to remove that uncertainty and give families the clarity they need to plan with confidence.

Being upfront about our fees allows parents to budget accurately and make informed choices about their child’s education. Whether you are planning for one child or several, knowing exactly what is included in each package helps you avoid financial surprises and ensures there are no compromises when it comes to your child’s learning experience.

We also understand that each student is unique. That’s why we offer the flexibility to tailor subject choices and support levels according to individual needs. Our clear pricing structure supports that personalised approach, making it easier for parents to create a learning plan that works academically and financially.
