HIGH SCHOOL
ACADEMIC CURRICULUM
ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND ENRICHMENT IS PROVIDED FOR ALL SUBJECTS
At the start of High School, students are encouraged to become actively involved in their learning process. By adopting a positive work ethic and a love for work, students are taught to take responsibility for their own academic growth and development.
Our School is blessed with dedicated, specialist teachers who are committed to the development of the individual potential of each student. The academic support and enrichment programme provides personal structure and assistance to students who require additional help with their learning, while empowering students who are committed to excelling even further.
We prepare students for the internationally recognised National Senior Certificate Examination (IEB).
Marist Brothers Linmeyer has attained excellent results, consistently achieving a 100% pass rate. Most students achieve university entrance and go on to excel in their chosen careers, both locally and internationally.
We hope to encourage, inspire and empower students to flourish in every aspect of their young lives.
In the High School, the language of instruction is English. Students are expected tolearn English Home Language (HL) and to choose either Afrikaans or IsiZulu as a First Additional Language (FAL).
