01 · The course

Grade 8 is a big step. We make it a smaller one.

More subjects, more teachers, more work to manage on your own. The bridge course builds the foundation first, so the new work in high school has something solid to stand on.

  1. Consolidate Grade 7 knowledge

    Close the gaps now, while they’re still small.

  2. Prepare for Grade 8

    A first look at what’s coming, so it doesn’t feel brand new.

  3. Build confidence

    Learners who feel ready put up their hands.

  4. Improve academic performance

    Good habits and clear basics show up in the marks.

  5. Personalised attention

    Small groups, so tutors know where each learner stands.

02 · Subjects

Six subjects. One stack of books.

Each subject gets its own time with a tutor, plus worksheets and homework in the app.

Mathematics

Number work, fractions and decimals, and the early algebra Grade 8 builds on.

English

Reading for meaning, comprehension and writing that holds together.

Afrikaans

Taal, begrip en skryf — so the second language doesn’t hold anyone back.

Natural Science

The core ideas and the science words that come up again in Grade 8.

Social Science

History and Geography skills: sources, maps and answering in full.

Life Orientation

Study habits, planning and settling into a bigger school.
