Give your Child a Global Education
For thousands of South African families and expats around the world, this is no longer just a dream. It's their daily reality—thanks to CambriLearn. As education costs soar and traditional systems grow more rigid, many parents ask the question: Is there a better way to prepare my child for the world they're growing into? At CambriLearn, we believe there is. We're an internationally accredited online school with students in over 70 countries. And we've built something different—something that fits around the life your child already leads.
At the heart of CambriLearn's offering are two powerful curriculum pathways, both internationally recognised and designed to open doors for students in South Africa and beyond.
A favourite among globally minded families, it is known for its structure, depth, and emphasis on independent thinking.
CambriLearn offers the British curriculum from Primary Stage right through to AS and A Levels, giving students a clear academic journey that prepares them for university and the real world.
And unlike traditional schools? You don't wait for the next term to get started. Enrolment is open year-round.
Pace is personalised. Learning happens where and when it works best.
For families looking for a science-forward international curriculum, Pearson Edexcel offers an ideal solution.
This pathway is beneficial for students who don't have access to a Cambridge-approved exam centre that caters to the physical practical exam requirements. Your child can earn the respected international GCSE and AS Level qualifications with Pearson Edexcel, minus the logistical barriers.
Both curricula are rigorous. Top universities accept both. And both are designed to fit into your life, not take it over.
Let's be honest. Traditional school models weren't designed for 2025. Many families feel boxed in between hectic work schedules, rising school fees, and children with different learning needs.
CambriLearn offers a modern alternative, with real structure, teachers, and flexibility.
Whether your child is an aspiring athlete or artist or simply needs a calmer, more personalised space to learn, CambriLearn meets them where they are. Start anytime – No waiting for the next academic cycle.
Learn at your own pace – Pause. Accelerate. Catch up. It's built around your child.
Real teacher support – From live Q&A sessions to personalised feedback, they're never alone.
Parent dashboard – Know exactly how your child progresses without chasing reports.
Accredited and credible – Pearson Edexcel accreditation, SACAI registration, and Cognia approval mean your child's education is future-proof.
Whether you're based in Johannesburg or Dubai, CambriLearn brings the world-class classroom to your living room. And if you're still unsure about online schooling? You're not alone.
Many parents we work with started out sceptical, worried about socialisation, structure, or whether their child would stay motivated.
But they didn't look back once they saw the progress, confidence, and independence their children gained.
If your child's potential feels like it's being squeezed into someone else's timetable… If you're tired of choosing between quality and flexibility… If you just want an education model that works for your family, not against it… It's time to explore something different… It's time to explore CambriLearn.
CambriLearn is more than an online school. It's a launchpad for a global future—on your terms.

The Global Girmitiya Centre of SA hosting a workshop to connect Girmitiyas from across the diaspora
The Global Girmitiya Centre of South Africa is inviting the public to attend a 'The Girmitiya Diaspora in 2025: Identity, challenges and shaping our future' workshop set to take place on July 12 at L'Aperitivo - The Auroras, 9 Aurora Dr, Umhlanga Ridge, Durban. Image: Supplied The time is nearing for South African Girmitiyas to reflect on their commonalities, shared experiences, challenges and solutions with fellow Girmitiyas in the diaspora. The Global Girmitiya Centre of South Africa is inviting the public to attend a 'The Girmitiya Diaspora in 2025: Identity, challenges and shaping our future' workshop set to take place on July 12 at L'Aperitivo - The Auroras, 9 Aurora Dr, Umhlanga Ridge, Durban. The workshop will include participation from: Shri Ravindra Dev (Guyana) – Identity & cohesion, Professor (Dr) Sandili Ramdial- Maharaj (Trinidad) – The psyche of the oppressed & oppressor: Girmitiya experience Professor Kapil Kumar (New Delhi) – Revealing suppressed realities Professor Ganesh Chand (Fiji) – The way forward Bugsy Singh (South Africa) – Girmitiya in SA & facilitation The Global Girmitiya Centre of SA (affiliated to the Global Girmitiya Institute) was established to highlight the South African Girmitiya's history, challenges, heroes and role in the pursuit of social cohesion and nation building – and to liaise with Girmitiya populations in the diaspora. The centre said that in these globalised times, they appreciate that Girmitiyas, courtesy of imperialist designs, have also dispersed far and wide in the world – in the Caribbean, Fiji, Malaysia, Mauritius. "They are our kin and kith, from the same civilisation, also mercilessly wrenched from their homelands." The centre said that between 1860 to 1911, a total of 152,184 Girmitiyas were othered almost exclusively in the erstwhile province of Natal by imperial Britain. Video Player is loading.

'While not slaves, Girmitiyas were most certainly not free persons - incarcerated in the maelstrom of human despoilation - of our culture, our traditions, our dignity, our religion and language - in a distant land. 'With Africans and Coloureds, Girmitiyas were subjected to legislated racism and other ravages of apartheid,' the centre said. 'Ordinarily, the relaying of the Girmitiya history to the wider population would contribute immensely to social cohesion and the entrenchment of nation-building. 'Since their arrival in Natal in 1860, Girmitiyas have made a stellar contribution to the economy and development of the province and South Africa - initially the sugar industry, then coal mining, railway construction and latterly to healthcare, education and social support structures.

'Emotional toll of being unemployed is relentless'
Unemployed South African youth are battling depression and low self-esteem. Image: Ron In South Africa, where youth unemployment has reached alarming levels, a quiet crisis is unfolding, one not just of economics, but of identity, anxiety, and emotional survival. For many young people, the struggle to find work is also a battle to stay hopeful. Through the stories of Mia-Mae, a 20-year-old from Cape Town, and Okgethilwe, 23, and the expert insights of professionals from the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), we take a look at what it means to be young, unemployed, and trying to hold on to a sense of self. 'If you're broke, you're broken.' For Mia-Mae, the emotional toll of being unemployed is relentless. 'You're left just trying to survive each month. That alone is exhausting,' she says. 'Money really does make the world go around, and without it, you're left just trying to survive each month.' She speaks openly about the fear that creeps in when hope runs low. 'It gets to you,' she admits. 'You start thinking you'll end up on the streets, never getting anywhere, never getting a job. You feel helpless.' Mia-Mae doesn't sugarcoat her hard days. 'I don't really cope. I just sleep and let the day pass,' she says. 'I tell myself I can't do it, even if a small part of me hopes one day I might.' She doesn't compare herself to her peers, but the lack of support has not gone unnoticed. 'Many of them had more support, like parents who could help them through school, guide them, or pay for extra help.' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Her self-esteem has taken a serious hit. 'I've let myself go,' she says. 'I used to want to be better, but now, looking for a job feels hopeless. It's like nothing will ever change.' Living alone without a steady income has added layers of stress. 'Nothing comes for free, and if you're broke, you're broken,' she says. 'It's hard to stay motivated when it feels like nothing you do matters.' Even when she tries, rejection can be crushing. 'They feel dark and depressing,' she says of her days. 'I spend a lot of time just thinking of ways to make money, but even when I try, rejection hits hard. It makes things worse.' She also feels the sting of judgment. 'I feel like a disappointment, like I'm just surviving off other people's money,' she shares. Support from her mother and boyfriend provides moments of comfort. 'They remind me that I'm worthy of good things and capable of greatness, even when I don't believe it myself.' Still, opening up is difficult. 'Talking doesn't always help,' she says. 'People can't fix how I feel.' For unemployed youth rejection can be crushing which can lead to depression. Image: Freepik Though she has sought help in the past, it hasn't brought relief. 'None of it helped me, not even a little.' She's aware of organisations offering support, but says: 'I just don't think they can help either.' So what keeps her going? Her answer is as raw as it is honest: 'I'm forced to wake up every day. It's not really a choice.' And yet, even amid the darkness, a faint hope lingers. 'In the next year, I want to get a job, save up for a motorbike, and eventually move into my own apartment. A goal that gives me something, however distant, to reach for.' 'No one is coming to save me' For Okgethilwe, unemployment has been a deeply emotional experience. 'It really knocked my confidence,' he says. 'I stress that not having everything together now makes me look useless to my family and peers. Being unemployed has caused me to belittle myself and become anxious about my own future.' He's battled stress and depression, especially in his pursuit of independence. 'I've often felt like I'm not doing enough, even when I have more support than some of them,' he admits. Social media and streaming platforms proved to be more of a hindrance than an escape. 'I had to shift my focus back to real progress,' he says. 'I had to step back.' Even when comparisons eat at his confidence, he's found strength in self-reflection. 'I've learned what it takes to be part of a team and to keep pushing myself,' he says. 'Being unemployed actually made me more confident in what I can do.' One of his greatest frustrations is the job search itself. 'You can apply to 50 jobs in a day and still hear nothing. There's no guidance, no feedback, nothing to help us improve,' he explains. On top of that, many are simply excluded from opportunity. 'Not everyone has access to resources like data or job platforms, which is a major barrier for many.' Still, he stays focused. 'I'm working hard to become a chef. I do my assignments, practice my skills, and focus on improving myself every day.' Constantly being rejected can take toll on young people. Image: / Freepik Judgment from others stings. 'I felt that others have misunderstood that even though you are staying with or being supported by family, it does not mean that I have decided to waste my time and slack around.' Fortunately, he has a strong support system. 'Because we all believe that the truth is part reality and no matter how painful it is, my mom does not hesitate to hold me accountable for my actions, emotions, character, happiness and peace,' he says. Though he hasn't spoken to a therapist, conversations with loved ones have helped. 'I used to think asking for help meant I didn't know what I wanted, but I've learned I can still grow with support from the people around me.' His mantra now is a declaration of self-responsibility: 'Knowing no one is coming to save me.' Looking forward, he sees possibility. 'With access to technology, online income streams, and business resources, I see more potential now than ever before.' His goals are clear: 'Continue my studies, grow as a chef, and keep working on my mental well-being. I want to be better than I was yesterday, both in the kitchen and in life.' A national issue Mental health professionals at SADAG are seeing the same patterns, stress, burnout, and depression play out across the country. Roshni Parbhoo-Seetha, Education Project Manager at SADAG, says the emotional cost of youth unemployment is immense. 'Many young people describe feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, and stuck,' she says. 'It can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even depression.' And then there's the shame. 'There's this sense of failure. And when that's paired with poverty or no support, it can even lead to suicidal thoughts.' Registered counsellor Vanishaa Gordhan Narotam agrees. 'There's often a sense of constant worry about the future, which fuels anxiety. And deep feelings of sadness or hopelessness that can spiral into depression,' she says. She adds that the loss of identity is one of the most damaging effects. 'They internalise the idea that they're 'not good enough' or 'failing at life.'' Not all young people have access to emotional support, and that can make all the difference. 'Someone from a stable home might have some financial cushion or emotional backing. For others, especially from low-income households, unemployment becomes a family burden.' But even without money, encouragement helps. 'Being emotionally present can make a world of difference,' Vanishaa says. SADAG encourages young people to reach out. 'Whether it's through our helplines, a local counsellor, or someone they trust, talking helps,' says Parbhoo-Seetha. She also urges young people to find value beyond employment. 'Your value isn't defined by employment. Skills programmes, volunteering, or joining support groups can bring back structure and connection.' Holding on For Mia-Mae and Okgethilwe, as for many others, the struggle isn't just to find work, it's to hold on to themselves in the process. The emotional toll of unemployment is profound, but it's too often overlooked. We must stop measuring worth by productivity, and instead start listening, truly listening, to the experiences of those living through it. Because beneath the silence of unread job applications and quiet days at home are voices that still dream, still hope, and still fight to be heard.

Sweet nectarine possets with nectarine fresh whipped cream
Nectarine Possets are a clever twist on the traditional posset, a classic British dessert known for its smooth, custard-like texture created by the simple reaction between cream and acid – usually lemon juice. But Juicy Delicious has given this old favourite a fresh update by presenting it in the very fruit that inspired it. Each posset is delicately set in a hollowed-out nectarine half, creating a striking visual contrast between the pale, creamy filling and the vibrant orange-pink of the fruit's skin. Ingredients 5 large nectarines – cut in half cream lemon 180 ml fresh whipping cream 75 grams castor sugar 1 whole lemon – to squeeze onto the cut peaches 4 Tbsp / 60mls freshly squeezed lemon juice for the mixture 3 Tbsp nectarine puree, see instructions below 10ml cinnamon sugar Method Slice your nectarines in half longways and carefully removing the pits. Then using a teaspoon carve out the inside of the nectarine, don't go too close to the skin as you don't want to break the outer layer. Once you have done this to all the nectarines, squeeze a whole lemon over the cut surfaces, to stop them from going brown. Place all the nectarine flesh into a blender or Nutribullet and blend until smooth. Beat the cream until soft peaks form. Add the castor sugar and beat in. Add the nectarine puree and mix through. Add the lemon juice. Spoon the cream mixture into the prepared nectarine halves. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar just before serving. TIP: You can replace the cream with plain cream cheese or mascarpone for an even more indulgent version.
