Introducing ConnectEd™

The first IEB curriculum online high school in Africa making use of a state-of-the-art adaptive learning platform.

ConnectEd™ is an innovative adaptive learning online high school, initially launching for Grades 10 and 11 in January 2021. It will enable students to master their IEB curriculum in a dynamic, student-centred environment.

Academic content created by Bridge House staff has been formulated into engaging micro-learning modules, designed to promote maximum knowledge retention whilst decreasing learning time. Powerful neuro-scientific algorithms tailor each student’s learning journey, providing a bespoke digital experience that meets each individual’s specific educational needs.

ConnectEd™ isn’t just a conventional online school. We believe there is a need for a more skills-focused approach to education in Southern Africa. ConnectEd’s™ philosophy therefore is to provide our students with a solution centred around academic excellence but with a strong focus on mentorship, personal mastery and leadership development. We will empower each student with the skills and confidence needed to take ownership of their learning journey, elevate themselves beyond the classroom and realise their potential as future leaders.

powerful adaptive learning

By harnessing the power of individually tailored adaptive learning, we have created a learning platform that automates the process of giving each student exactly what they need, when they need it, optimising the valuable time of both teacher and student. Powerful neuro-scientific algorithms measure the knowledge of a student on a specific topic and then adapt the repetition of questions and content to meet that student where they're at. Using this ground-breaking technology, combined with motivational points, badges, and trophies, students are guaranteed to increase knowledge retention and decrease time spent learning in a fun, engaging way.

The Digemy knowledge partner is a multiple award-winning e-learning platform. Digemy creates both business-to-business as well as business-to-consumer solutions, serve some of the biggest brands in Africa, and were recognised as the 2nd best tech startup in Africa by Africa Tech Week in 2019, and as one of the top 50 EdTechs in Africa by HolonIQ.

Beyond academics

At ConnectEd™, we believe that an outstanding education shouldn’t be focused solely on the core academic curriculum, but should also empower students with the skills, tools, and experiences needed to succeed in the real world.

By partnering with industry experts and curated mentors, ConnectEd™ will provide students with unprecedented access to masterclasses and more detailed courses on subjects such as personal financial development, entrepreneurship, leadership and communication as well as reading retention, focus and memory mastery.

It’s never too early to learn how to craft a successful future.
