Is Dakanvics an official online school?
Dakanvics is a digital learning platform that offers globally recognized international programs. Students can enroll in individual courses or full pathways to accumulate credits toward international diplomas such as ACA, Cambridge IGCSE, and A-Level.
How does it work?
Dakanvics is an online course provider of various courses. Our safe, online learning environment supports students by providing engaging content that aligns with the learning curriculum. Our professionally designed and written courses enable students to develop the skills and knowledge they will need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
Students and learning coaches decide how, when, and where courses are completed. Dakanvics allows students up to 12 months to complete a course, but students may move through the material at their own pace. Our online courses make use of texts, videos, graphics, interactive elements, and suggested offline activities throughout.
Who may take a Dakanvics course?
Anyone may take a Dakanvics's course regardless of their location, education level, or current school. Permission from a student’s main school of registration is not required.
How long does it take to complete a course?
Students work through Dakanvics courses at a pace that suits them within the 12-month time limit. The time that it takes each student to complete a course depends on the learner’s unique skills and abilities, as well as on other commitments the student may have while working on the course(s).
Dakanvics provides a Pacing Tool in each course. This tool can be used to set a schedule for completing the course based on the date by which the student would like to complete the course. This schedule may be adjusted by the learning coach or student at any time.
Do learners have to study full-time or can they choose individual subjects?
Full-time study is not required. Students can register for individual subjects such as Math, English, Science, IELTS, or SAT based on their personal schedule and learning goals.
What are the technical requirements?
Students can access their courses from any device, such as a laptop or tablet that has stable, high-speed internet access. All software should also be up to date on the student’s device. Students may email Dakanvics with any technical problems they encounter. Students should have access to a printer and a scanner or a smartphone camera so they can digitize handwritten work.
What English level is required to begin studying?
A minimum of A2 (CEFR) is recommended for primary-level courses, and B1 or higher for secondary and high school programs. Students below this level can start with Dakanvics’ foundational English support courses.
Will my learner receive a report card?
Students who register for a facilitated course receive three report cards throughout the course: a progress report, a midterm report, and a final report.
Progress report
- Issued after completion of the first unit
- Does not include grades but provides feedback at the beginning of the course
Midterm Report
- Issued after completion of half the coursework
- Includes grades, learning skills, and written feedback
Final Report
- Issued after completion of all coursework
- Includes grades, learning skills, and written feedback
When the student successfully completes the course, they receive a certificate of completion.
How will my learner transition to a physical or high school after Dakanvics?
- We suggest that parents or guardians contact future schools to inquire about their processes and documentation requirements regarding the student’s educational history. Dakanvics recommends that learning coaches document student progress as much as possible as proof of course completion to provide to future schools. Dakanvics students enrolled in facilitated courses may use report cards as proof, and students in independent courses may use the gradebook and completed assessments as proof. The detailed course outline can also be used to demonstrate that the Ministry’s expectations have been covered in the course.
Courses under the ACA program will contribute to the official credit portfolio, with diplomas awarded upon completion. Diplomas are recognized in multiple countries.

What courses does Dakanvics offer?
Please visit the Our Courses tab in the navigation bar to view our course offerings.
What grade level should my learner be registered in?
Parents and guardians may choose the grade level best suited to their learner’s needs at the elementary level. Students may also be registered in courses below their current grade level for the purpose of reviewing, or learners may be registered above their grade level to extend their knowledge base. Furthermore, students may be in a different grade level for each subject depending on how the student is progressing through the courses. For example, a student may be at a Grade 5 level in language but at a Grade 6 level in science.
We recommend that parents and learning coaches review the course outline of each course to determine which concepts and skills have already been acquired, which ones may be too challenging, or which ones may be appropriate for the learner. We invite you to contact us if you have questions about which grade level would best suit your learner.
If my learner takes all the courses Dakanvics offers at their grade level, will this be equivalent to completing that entire grade at a physical school?
No. Students at a physical school in ACA study mathematics, science and technology, language, French, art, physical education, and social studies or history and geography... Dakanvics does not currently offer a full elementary curriculum. For this reason, we recommend that Dakanvics homeschool families supplement their home learning curriculum with additional resources to include the courses we do not offer. This ensures that all curriculum requirements are met and that homeschooled students are prepared for the American school curriculum. However, homeschooling parents and guardians have the authority to determine the curriculum their children follow.
My learner already began a course at another school. Is it possible to finish the course with Dakanvics?
A student who is interested in taking a course with Dakanvics will receive the full course content. Because Dakanvics follow the curricula in any order they choose, the structure of a previous course may differ from that of a Dakanvics course. However, our courses do allow students flexibility in how they complete their courses. For example, your learner is free to move more quickly through any content already covered and to spend more time on new content.
If the student will be enrolled in independent courses, the learning coach may determine which work the student completes. If the student will be enrolled in facilitated courses, please contact us prior to registration to discuss options that can be made available to satisfy your learner’s needs.
Is there an entrance exam that students need to complete prior to enroling?
No. Students do not need to complete a placement exam. Enrolments in specific courses may be reviewed by our admissions staff to ensure that students are set up to achieve the best possible results.
