WFA Online IEB Curriculum – here’s what you need to know. At WFA Online High School, we are dedicated to providing a robust educational framework that ensures every student not only meets but exceeds their academic potential. In South Africa, two main curriculums guide our education system: the CAPS (Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements) and the IEB (Independent Examinations Board). Both have their merits, but key differences set them apart.
CAPS Curriculum
The CAPS Curriculum is widely used and state-regulated, ensuring standardisation across government schools. It offers a comprehensive approach, providing students with a broad range of subjects and ensuring uniformity in teaching standards.
IEB Curriculum
The IEB Curriculum followed by our online school, is an independent curriculum known for its rigorous assessment standards which are benchmarked internationally. This curriculum encourages higher-order thinking skills, in-depth understanding, and application of knowledge. These qualities prepare students exceptionally well for tertiary education and global challenges.
Benefits of the WFA Online IEB Curriculum over CAPS:
Enhanced Critical Thinking: IEB’s approach to education fosters analytical and critical thinking skills, essential for success in today’s fast-paced world.
International Recognition: IEB qualifications are widely recognised by universities worldwide, giving students a competitive edge in global education circles.
Comprehensive Assessments: With a focus on application and analysis, IEB assessments prepare students more thoroughly for the demands of higher education.
At WFA Online High School, we are proud to follow the IEB curriculum, providing an education that not only meets global standards but also instils a love for learning in a nurturing, engaging environment. Want to learn more about the differences and benefits of IEB over CAPS? Read this article!
