Welcome from the Head Principal

St Aquinas College provides high quality Grade 8 -12 academic and extra-curricular programme for people from all backgrounds in South Africa. Our High school (Gr 8 -12) was founded in 2010. We believe in Education as a life-long process, in developing a love of learning and in the attainment of excellence. We currently have a total of 301 learners enrolled from Grade 8 – 12.

The school offers the National Curriculum prescribed by the NQF and implements it according to the CAPS syllabus. Our final year learners write the National Grade 12 exam. The school is registered with the Gauteng Department of Education(GDE) and in the process of acquiring Umalusi Accreditation. The entire curriculum is implemented by means of a “Management Plan” which includes quality management, curriculum management, extra-curricular management and internal and external communication. A complete set of internal policies guide these operations and the management plan includes the constant review of all the operations as well as a system of feedback into the planning of the following year. This system is followed stringently, is never complete and is reviewed regularly. Only the Board of Directors of St Aquinas College has the right to make changes to the system and policies.
