- Our History and growth
Empowering Students for a Brighter Future
Mathesis College was established in 2017 and is a registered independent school under the GDE with a reputation for excellence. The school was founded on the primary objective of preparing students holistically, ensuring that every student attains the skills, values and mindset to pursue their goals with learner wellbeing at our core.
Mathesis College has since grown considerably, applying our principles and methods to our full time students and to an array of additional educational services such as tutoring and workshops, supporting learners around the country. We have also developed non-academic workshops which cover important life skills with a complete focus on application.
Our unique academic and practical approach to education and development is solely built upon the understanding that these crucial years will shape the path and values that a learner follows into adulthood.

Academic Framework & CAPS Curriculum Details
National Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS):
College is fully registered with the Department of Education. We offer a rigorous, comprehensive CAPS curriculum that thoroughly equips learners for their academic journey.
The National Senior Certificate (NSC)
Our academic track culminates in the globally and locally recognized National Senior Certificate (NSC) issued by Umalusi. This qualification ensures our qualified graduates entry eligibility into all South African universities and opens doors to top-tier international institutions.
Four-Term School Calendar
We operate on the standard, structured four-term school year layout, aligning with provincial expectations and keeping student routines well-balanced. Developer Note: Inset a dedicated photo gallery module next to this section displaying circular images of interactive student life (e.g., science lab microscope work, classroom group discussions) to break up the text blocks visually.
Our grade 12’s achieved 100% pass with more than 62% of learners studying towards a degree programme. This is achieved by consistently reviewing results each term beginning in grade 10, calculating university admission points scores and objectively ensuring that students are meeting these criteria for their chosen degree every year.
Accomplishing academic goals each year with early intervention is particularly important in the FET phase as progression is built upon the previous years material.
Better Results
Learning is efficient and teachers can teach. Educators have more opportunities to assess the class as well as individual students, catering to different learning styles and making sure all are engaged.
Positive Relationships
Every student is known personally and relationships formed allow for increased participation and constructive interaction. This facilitates mentorship and lifelong communication skills.
More Feedback
Teachers have more time for individual learner guidance, allowing them to closely monitor academic progress and address specific learning needs.
