Jeugland teachers bring innovation into the classroom and stimulate creativity and lateral thinking. This makes the learning process unique and exciting. Academic enrichment is non-negotiable in every subject.
The staff corps of Jeugland often reach beyond the borders of the classroom. We hereby focus, in the interest of our learners, on the implementation of basic skills (reading, writing and numeracy). We strive for brilliant academic renewal, but anchor our successes in the valuable and proven techniques of education of the years. We prepare our learners to confidently continue on their academic road of success - whether at national or international universities.
Here we set the bar high, but motivate, mobilize and support our learners to take on this challenge and to achieve success.
We are proud of our school's academics!
Characteristics that make our academics the best:
1. The way in which Jeugies make their mark after school, in their studies and professional work environment.
2. The Grade 12 results.
3. Departmental recognition of staff and Jeugies.
4. The achievements of Grade 8 to 12 learners.
5. Our support mechanism.
At the end of each term an academic Top 20 is announced in each grade. By the end of February the formal academic MERIT EVENING, a gala occasion, takes place in the form of a graduation ceremony.
