Joining Teneo
Everyone is accepted and anyone can join at any time. Here’s what you need to know about registering.
How to register
There are just three simple steps to register for school. Apply any time, year-round, in under
5 minutes. Our support team is here to help if you have any further questions.
Step 1:
Sign in to the registration portal
Click "Sign up" for new learners in 2025- Click "Log in" for existing 2024 Teneo learners (and any siblings)
Step 2:
Complete registration form and make payment
- Complete the registration form and make payment
- Submit details of the parent/guardian and the learner
- Make a minimum payment of the first month’s school fees, plus the R1 500 annual registration fee
Step 3:
Upload your docs when you're ready
Upload your docs when you’re ready. You can upload your docs any time after payment.
All you’ll need is:
- Parent/guardian’s ID/passport
- Learner’s ID/passport
- Learner’s school report
Please note that it can take up to three (3) business days for payment to be received and allocated. Once payment is received, it can take up to three (3) business days for your login details to be generated and for your learner to be allocated to their teachers and classes.
Late enrolment and transfers
It’s never too late to start. Transferring to Teneo is straight-forward and hassle-free,
whether you want to enrol one learner or more.
Join any time
You can enrol whenever you like, during any term, year-round. Learners will enter the right grade based on their recent school report and age.
Accessing lessons and content
If you join halfway through a term, your child gets access to learning content and lesson recordings from previous terms. But they won’t be able to do any past assessments.
Catching up
While we’ll never turn anyone away, it’s your responsibility to ensure your child catches up on classwork or assessments they may have missed. They’ll get access to past lesson recordings and lesson content which can be used for revision.
There’s place for everyone
At Teneo, everyone gets in! You’ll always be accepted and placed in the correct grade based on your previous school report. Our learning platform and formats are designed to suit diverse learning styles, abilities and barriers.

I have a grade 7 and grade 4 child in Teneo online school. They are the best online school ever. The way they teach my children and how computer literate they are is amazing. The teachers are very helpful. They will stay in Teneo until they go to university. Thank you Teneo for all your good work.
