International GCSE

The International GCSE is an 18-month programme consisting of six terms. To enrol in the International GCSE, learners must have passed Grades 9, 10, or 11 in the SA curriculum. They will start in January and finish by taking their examinations in May/June of the following year.

Learners need to take a minimum of six subjects and should check entrance requirements at their prospective university before selecting their subjects.

Our goal is not only to drive better results for every child but also to develop their knowledge application and conceptual understanding so they become well-rounded thinkers, ready to compete in the real world at the highest level.

School starts at 07:45 and ends at 14:40, with eight 40-minute classes to attend per day, whether they have chosen pre-recorded lessons or a mix of pre-recorded lessons and live online classes.
