MobyMax is an adaptive learning platform that automatically finds and fills your child's learning gaps. It starts with a diagnostic placement test to identify exactly where your child is struggling, then creates a personalised learning path targeting only those specific gaps.
The system continuously adapts — if your child gets something wrong, it provides more practice. If they master a concept, it moves forward. Research shows that with just 20 hours of focused work, students typically gain one full grade level.
MobyMax covers ages 2-14+:
Copper Plan (Ages 2-5): Early learning and school readiness — counting, letters, shapes, colours, and pre-reading skills.
Bronze/Silver/Gold Plans (Ages 6+): Full curriculum through Grade 8. The adaptive technology means content adjusts to each child's actual level, not their age. A 10-year-old working at Grade 3 level gets Grade 3 content until they catch up.
MobyMax covers 9 core subjects: Mathematics, Language Arts, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, Vocabulary, Fact Fluency, and Early Learning.
Each subject uses adaptive technology to match your child's exact level. They won't waste time on concepts they've mastered or struggle with content that's too advanced.
Yes! All MobyMax plans include a 14-day free trial with full access. No credit card required to start.
During the trial, your child can take placement tests, start lessons, and you can see exactly how the system works. If you're not impressed, simply don't continue — no charge, no hassle.

No — and that's actually a good thing.
MobyMax uses US Common Core standards, which are internationally recognised and 2-3 years ahead of CAPS. This means when your child masters MobyMax content, they're not just at grade level — they're ahead of their South African peers.
MobyMax exceeds CAPS requirements in maths, language, reading, and science. Your child gets a stronger education, not a watered-down one.
Yes, completely legal.
The South African Schools Act of 1996 allows parents to choose any curriculum that meets minimum educational outcomes. MobyMax exceeds these requirements with comprehensive coverage of core subjects at international standards.
Many homeschool families use MobyMax as their primary curriculum, supplemented with local content for subjects like South African history where needed.
