We foster a drive for academic excellence in our students while promoting independent thinking and problem-solving strategies as we prepare our students for the IEB National Senior Certificate Examination.

We follow the CAPS Curriculum (Curriculum and Assessment Policy) of the National Department of Education which will culminate in an IEB written exam for matric.
The IEB offers a wide variety of subjects and allows flexibility within the syllabus, making sure that examinations are in line with international requirements.
