Brainline offers several different tuition options:
Grade R: This CAPS-based curriculum, developed by an expert foundation phase educator, focuses on learning through play and fun activities, using household items. It combines a Home Language, First Additional Language, Mathematics, and Life Skills, which are addressed holistically with a theme-based approach.
Grade 1–3: This CAPS-based curriculum, developed by an expert foundation phase educator, focuses on learning through play and activities, consisting of a Home Language, First Additional Language, Mathematics, and Life Skills. Live classes with curriculum resources and formal mid-year and/or end-year examinations are available add-ons.

COMPREHENSIVE is a fully supported learning journey with live interactive daily/weekly classes, access to subject resources and teacher support, scheduled task deadlines and test/exam dates, and access to all extracurricular and club activities. Whereas EXPRESS is tailored to the seasoned home educator who requires little or no support and who does not want to be bound by timelines. The EXPRESS option entails a suggested work schedule, a mid-year and end-year assessment portfolio and marking guidelines for use by parents when marking the assessments. Enrolling for the formal year-end exam to receive a Brainline-accredited report is an optional add on.
