Academic Programme Mission  
   

Academic excellence lies at the core of the Uplands College ethos. In delivering on this goal, the College goes beyond the minimum requirements contained in the National Curriculum.

Uplands College provides a challenging, relevant and balanced education that aims to cultivate the pupils' academic potential to enable them to succeed in their chosen career or profession.

The new General Education and Training Certificate (Grade 9) and National Senior Certificate (Grade 12) curricula, based on OBE principles, are being incorporated in a positive manner.

Measures to quality-assure our academic achievement:

  • Class sizes are restricted to between 25 and 28 pupils
  • Effective tutor group system, with a maximum of 18 pupils per tutor group
  • Matric performance is carefully monitored. Our classes routinely achieve a 100% pass rate
  • Academic achievement is recognised and honoured
  • Committed and independent work ethic is encouraged
  • Frequent teacher-parent consultations
  • Pupils have access to our Educational Psychologist
