High School

Harriston scholars write the internationally benchmarked Independent Examination Board (IEB) matric examinations since the inception of the school. The vast majority of our pupils go on to obtain degrees at well-known universities, both in South Africa and abroad.

We believe that our purpose is to ensure that our students acquire the skills and qualifications needed to take them on to the next stage of their education with confidence and the determination to meet and conquer challenges. Consequently, we believe that education goes much further than academic achievement and that a comprehensive education must embody the whole person: body, mind and spirit.

Grade 8-9 pupils take the following academic subjects:

English

Afrikaans

Mathematics
