Olympiads: Our learners don’t merely participate; they excel. Mathematics, Science, Accounting, and language Olympiads serve as platforms for learners to stretch their minds, solve intricate problems, and showcase their brilliance. These competitions aren’t just events; they’re gateways to exploration and discovery. By participating in Olympiads, our learners gain exposure to the world beyond textbooks. Tertiary institutions beckon, and our students step forward with confidence.

Our dedicated team: Our educators bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm to the classroom. Committed to fostering a culture of inquiry and discovery, our educators inspire students to think critically, ask questions and explore the wonders of the natural world. 

Academic Excellence and University Admission: 
Our Grade 12 learners regularly secure positions in the top 40 provincial academic achiever list in the NSC examinations, while the school consistently records outstanding pass rates and results in Mathematics, Sciences and Information Technology, with a significant number of students achieving NSC bachelor passes and A-aggregates. Moreover, we are one of the top feeder schools to the University of the Western Cape and a number of our learners are admitted into the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Science and Engineering at the three major universities in the Western Cape.
