South African Homeschool Network (SAHSN) has revolutionised the homeschooling process after intense research, investigations and audits conducted within the sector. Within this process, we have managed to craft a unique and proven concept of where we, as SAHSN, can guarantee a learner's pass rate with a money-back guarantee built in (terms and conditions apply). It is our vision that homeschooling should be coupled with a formal independent school, giving our children options to create their own learning pathways based on their individual needs. 

The ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ROBOTICS (AIR) ACADEMY is an elite educational franchise opportunity focused on delivering cutting-edge programs in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Skills to learners from Grades R–12. This franchise opportunity is provided, underwritten and quality assured by the South African Home Schools Network (Pty) Ltd. (SAHSN). 

Whilst this opportunity falls under the umbrella of educational offering models within the SAHSN, this is not a traditional home school business model that is unregulated. This regulated, unique and customised business model boasts prestigious licences, accreditations and registrations with various national and international bodies, such as the MICT SETA, QCTO, CompTIA and Certiport . It must be noted that this franchise model is just a single business model from SAHSN which will be rolling out various other franchise models going forward that incorporate further, technical, vocational and higher education in South Africa.
