RIDGEFIELD
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Ridgefield Academy regularly assists home schoolers with their
preparation for CIE practical examinations in subjects such as
Physics and Chemistry. Due to a growing need in the South African
home schooling community, we are now offering non-local
Cambridge learners the opportunity to enjoy all the other benefits
of our programme without leaving their house.
In addition to our normal requirements, you will need the following:
•
A desktop or laptop with at least 4 MB of RAM and a 2 GHZ processor
•
A microphone and webcam
•
An internet connection with 10 mbps download speed
•
Sufficient data to stream online classes or conversations. Uncapped is recommended.
•
A printer
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We provide learners with a Curriculum Management Programme that specifies the following for each subject:
•
Breakdown of syllabus content into main sections for each subject
•
Breakdown of modules for each section
•
Breakdown of learning outcomes for each module
•
Prescribed activities for each outcome (Learning materials, videos, live streaming of time-tabled classes, etc.)
•
Assessment guidelines for each outcome
•
Timeline
Teachers assess distance learners according to the same criteria as on-campus learners. Tests and examinations are
mailed to a designated responsible person, such as a parent, written under their supervision and mailed back to us.
Learners write their final IGCSE and AS examinations at the Academy or at a designated examination centre.
We conduct practical workshops for subjects such as Physics and Chemistry during holidays.
FEES
For the 2023 academic year, fees are R500 per subject per month, payable over 12 months. Fees are payable in advance
and accounts must be settled on or before the seventh of each month. Examination fees for external examinations
are not included in this amount.
