A second language is required for a Matric pass and university exemption in South Africa. Afrikaans is also necessary for certain degree programmes, such as Education and Law. Taking a second language keeps students’ future options open and supports a well-rounded education. At our school, language learning is a key part of our institutional philosophy. This is why we offer multiple languages and international programmes, allowing students to study at one of our partner schools around the world to further develop their language skills and immerse themselves in different cultures.
