PRIMARY SCHOOL STANDARDS 1 – 7

Our private primary school caters for Standard one to seven, where students write the national Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). We admit students in the Junior school at the age of five turning six. Standard 1, 2 and 3 emphasise literacy and numeracy skills to build a solid academic foundation. Students are then prepared for their PSLE starting from Standard 5, and the final exam is written in Standard 7.

HIGH SCHOOL FORM 1 – FORM 4 and AS LEVEL

The last years of a learner’s schooling career prepare them for what lies ahead. For this reason, we offer the Cambridge IGCSE and AS Levels syllabus. We believe this internationally esteemed high school qualification gives them a head start and levels the academic playing field with other students around the globe.
While many schools in Botswana write their final exams in FORM 5, we write in FORM 4.
We offer the following subjects:

Mathematics
English
Biology
ICT
Computer Science
History
Physics
Geography

Business Studies
Chemistry
Accounting
