Windhoek Gymnasium Secondary School | Kleine Kuppe, Windhoek

Windhoek Gymnasium has a secondary school in Kleine Kuppe, Windhoek (Namibia). With our approach, the national Namibian curriculum and international Cambridge curriculum run parallel, based on the grade/year. This could ultimately grant our learners access to a variety of national and international universities. Teaching takes place in English, we have a wide variety of specialised subjects, and we form part of the Curro school group. In addition, our learners use iPads in class and we have a boarding school. Get an overview of everything we can offer you on our fact sheet. The Cambridge curriculum provides an advanced level of teaching with rigorous assessments and a unique approach to providing knowledge and education of realities, lifestyles, socio-economic situations (and more) of countries across the world. This year’s Grade 12 learners still write Namibia’s national exams. Grade 11 learners are introduced to the Cambridge exams by writing the international IGCSE exam. Then they will prepare for the final AS Level exam in matric (2025) – our first matric class to do so! This is a great benefit for your child, because the AS Level exam could grant learners access to all UK universities and over 600 universities in the USA (including IV League). We control the number of learners per class so that our teachers have the time and space to give personal attention to each learner, in exactly the places that they need. This is just one of the ways that we create an environment where your child will enjoy what they learn and love coming to school. We go beyond the classroom to provide our learners with an excellent education – most notably by international tours that expose learners to the wonders of other countries. We have an annual culture tour to Europe, and bi-annual exchange programmes to Germany. As a secondary school in Kleine Kuppe, Windhoek, we balance academics with sports and cultural activities. Participation in activities promote team-awareness, collaboration, and self-confidence.

The addition of our pre-primary section in 2009, with 150 young children, further cemented our dedication to holistic education from the earliest years. This remarkable and sustained expansion stands as a testament to our success in delivering precisely what parents desire for their children: an exceptional balance of rigorous academics, vibrant sports, and enriching cultural activities, all maintained to the highest possible standard.
