Our academic programme is challenging and varied and lives up to our motto ‘Skilled for Life’. Girls write the Independent Examinations Board’s National Senior Certificate, which affords them excellent opportunities to study at a tertiary level, locally and abroad.

    Technology has become an indisputable part of modern-day life, and we’ve embraced it in the classroom. Tablets used by Grade 8 and 9 girls provide a blended approach to teaching while, at the same time, maintaining the standards of academic excellence our school has come to be known for.

    Technology and multimedia – combined with small class sizes – provide the optimal environment for full engagement. Extra lessons and academic support are available to girls who require one-on-one support to help them along their academic journey.
