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.
