Not sure where to begin? Most families arrive with one of these three questions.
Shop by curriculum
The publishers South African homeschool families ask us for most — many titles in stock locally, so there is no import wait; the rest on regular pre-order shipments.

How long does delivery take?
In-stock titles leave us within 3 business days of payment (Monday–Friday, excluding public holidays) and are couriered nationwide. You get email, SMS and WhatsApp updates along the way.
What does “back-order” mean?
Some imported titles are not on the shelf and come in on our regular shipments — typically 8–12 weeks. Back-ordered items are clearly marked on the product page. Tip: order in-stock and back-ordered items separately so the in-stock ones ship right away.
Can I pay by EFT?
Yes — EFT (FNB) or card. EFT orders are dispatched once the payment reflects; the reference to use is your order number.
Do you ship anywhere in South Africa?
Yes, nationwide by courier, with free shipping on orders over R3,500.
Which level should I start with?
Reply to any email or use the contact page with your child's age and what they can already do — we will point you to the right level (this is the question we answer most, and we are glad to).
Can I request a title you don't stock?
Please do — use the Suggestion Box. Our shelves are shaped by our community, and every month one suggestion wins a R250 book voucher.
South African authors
Home-grown stories deserve a home on your shelf
We give South African writers a dedicated space — from Magdalena Brynard's Achaos to Katryn & Kie's Afrikaans phonics readers. Are you writing something for young readers? We would love to hear from you.
