Cyberschool Africa (CSA) was founded in January 1997. CSA originally offered a Web-based exam revision guide for South African matrics (university entrance examinations). With limited marketing, this pilot program proved to be successful with more than 500 user sessions recorded in its first month. Both students and teachers showed keen interest in CSA services, providing the impetus for a more comprehensive Web site in 1998.

The Cyberschool Africa site, with its valuable content and rapidly expanding user base, is highly developed and will provide the platform for future expansion. Interactive curriculum-based tutorials and a range of communication and collaboration features facilitate a unique style of learning and teaching.

CSA's focus shifted from that of a purely curriculum-based site to an educational channel that offers collaborative and commercial features in addition to subject content. In July 1999 a new and improved website was opened, and a final report submitted to infoDev.

 CSA established an innovative and valuable educational resource for the South African high school community. In addition, CSA has become a major role player in educational hypermedia in this country with high level contacts in government, NGOs, Schoolnet SA (national school networking body) and many leading companies. But shortage of capital to expand and competition from a leading South African provider of learning services, which has now absorbed some of CSA's former staff.
