Professional, Personalized & Legally Compliant Assessments for Grades 3, 6 & 9 Students

In line with the BELA Act No. 32 of 2024, home education assessments must be conducted by a competent assessor at the end of a student’s Grades 3, 6 and 9. Kairos Academy SA is proud to offer a professional, outcome-based assessment service. This service is legally compliant and designed to support your child’s unique learning journey.

We now have our own qualified assessor. They ensure that every family receives personalized evaluations. These evaluations celebrate individuality while providing a rigorous, defensible record of learning.

What Makes Kairos Assessments Different?

We understand that no two home education journeys are the same, and your assessment shouldn’t be either.

Our assessments are outcome-based and tailored to your child by considering:

Your chosen curriculum & resources
Your child’s learning style and abilities
Topics covered and outcomes achieved to date

Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” report, you’ll receive a meaningful, individualized assessment that truly reflects your child’s progress.

Why Assessments Matter

Even if you’re not legally required to submit a report to the Provincial Head of Department to meet legal requirements, consider a Kairos assessment. It provides clarity, confidence, and direction for your home education journey.

Important Update: Grade 6 & 9 Availability

We know many families are eager to access our Kairos assessments for Grade 6 and Grade 9. These phases are scheduled for rollout in March 2026 (Grade 6) and June 2026 (Grade 9). This timeline ensures we maintain quality, legal compliance, and learner-centered integrity.

Shortening the rollout would compromise the high standard we’re committed to delivering.

In the meantime, we recommend theses activities:

Register with the Pestalozzi Trust
Protect your rights as a home-educating family.
Maintain an Up-to-Date Learning Portfolio
Keep thorough records of your child’s progress and resources used.
Print a Temporary AppleCore Report
Make sure your AppleCore records are current for easy reference and to submit the HOD on request.

⚠️ Emergency requests will be considered in exceptional circumstances only and for our Kairos students only. This can unfortunately not be guaranteed.
