CAPS Curriculum
Our younger learners follow the CAPS curriculum, building essential literacy, numeracy, subject knowledge and learning habits through clear structure and teacher guidance.
Academics
Learning for every stage
Our academic programme supports learners from Grade RR through Grade 12 with an age-appropriate, structured learning journey.
Switched On Education
High School learners use the Switched On Education curriculum. Laptops are a daily learning requirement, supporting technology-enabled study and greater independence.
Learning in practice
Guided foundations. Growing independence.
From attentive teacher-led lessons in the primary years to purposeful digital learning in High School, every phase gives learners the structure and support they need for their next step.
Literacy in action
Building confident readers from the beginning
Daily reading creates space for learners to explore stories, strengthen vocabulary and share ideas. These small moments build skills that support learning in every subject.
Beyond Grade 12
Planning for higher education
Learners who complete the Advanced American High School Diploma (AHSD) follow the admission process for a foreign qualification when applying to South African higher-education institutions. Early subject and pathway planning is important.
Build the right pathway
Select subjects with future studies in mind, submit the Pathway Towards Graduation for approval and work towards an overall GPA above 3.5 across Grades 9–12.
Research requirements
Investigate institutions and faculties early, including required subjects, percentages, APS expectations and any SAT or NBT requirements.
Apply and prepare
Applications generally begin from April using the completed Grade 11 report. Learners should prepare for the SAT or NBT where required and submit results to the relevant institution.
Verification and exemption
Bachelor-degree study generally requires USAf exemption after an institution makes an offer. Diploma or certificate pathways may require SAQA verification.
Each institution and faculty sets its own final admission requirements. Meeting minimum academic standards does not guarantee acceptance.
A purposeful start
Morning routines that settle minds and shape character
A calm beginning
Consistent routines help learners arrive, settle and prepare for the day.
Faith in daily life
Bible study and prayer ground the morning in Christian values and reflection.
Reading every day
Literacy reading strengthens comprehension, vocabulary and confident expression.
