- A small school with small classes
Assumption Convent has fewer than 450 pupils and classes are seldom larger than twenty-five, despite the pressure of waiting lists.
- Single-sex education
Research shows that monastic schools generally outperform co-educational schools.
- Proficient, dedicated staff
Thanks to our stable, caring environment, our teachers typically stay on for many years. Several staff members have completed Masters' degrees or additional educational qualifications.
- The IEB matriculation: internationally renowned
We apply the high quality standards of the IEB throughout the curriculum.
- Optimum career opportunities
Because subject options can map out careers, we offer the widest range possible. We give extra assistance in mathematics as it is essential to many tertiary study courses.
- Uncompromising academic excellence
We have produced a 100% pass in matric examinations, with numerous distinctions, for years. Most of our matriculants go on to tertiary studies, and many excel.
- An holistic education
In addition to rigorous academic study and numerous sporting and cultural activities, we offer a solid grounding in Christian values, helping our pupils reach their full potential and become caring citizens.
- At the cutting edge of curriculum development
We stay fully informed of educational developments in South Africa and internationally through the Catholic Schools Board, the Independent Schools' Association of Southern Africa and other educational bodies.
- Ever-improving facilities
An institution that remains static invariably deteriorates. At Assumption Convent, we continually upgrade our classrooms, equipment and grounds.
- Affordable, quality education
Our educational standards compare favourably with those of the best private schools, yet our fees are one-third to one-half lower and we offer FREE mathematics, English and Afrikaans extra lessons, all other subjects free as well but by arrangements with teachers.
Assumption Convent offers your children an education that opens doors – spiritual, academic, social and vocational – in a caring, nurturing environment. At fees as affordable as these, Assumption Convent provides schooling that is unbeatable value for money.
