High School Life at Elsen
Subjects offered in Grade 8-9 will prepare learners for Grade 10 to Grade 12 with a choice between electives: Computer Application Studies or Dramatic Arts and Consumers Studies or Business Studies. During their Grade 9 year, we evaluate and decide on the Grade 10 subjects based on the interests and abilities of our students so these choices are subject to change. Learners will continue on into the FET (Further Education and Training) band, in grade 10, which will be completed over three years and which will culminate with a National Senior Certificate (Matric) for SACAI.
Grade 8 - 9
The Grade 8 and 9 curriculum is broad based and exposes all our learners to an extensive range of learning areas in the South African National Curriculum in an inclusive, empowering environment. We strive to develop every learner in preparation for Grade 10.
