Alma Mater International School celebrated outstanding Cambridge results as their Class of 2025 enjoyed its final moments, ending its school journey on a high note.

According to Ann-Louise van Wyk, the head of admissions, the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is widely recognised as one of the most academically demanding international qualifications. Used globally as a benchmark for university readiness, the IGCSE prioritises conceptual understanding, analytical reasoning, and academic discipline rather than rote learning. In many subjects, the content depth is comparable to early undergraduate standards. The Class of 2025 had over 55 candidates who achieved 93 distinctions.

“These results reflect not only the commitment of our students but also the strength of Alma Mater’s academic programme, teaching expertise, and structured support systems,” said Ann-Louise.

These results place students in a strong position for advanced academic pathways in Medicine, Engineering, Commerce, Science, and the Humanities, and are widely recognised by universities as predictors of success.

Alma Mater also congratulates the Class of 2025 Cambridge Advanced Level candidates, who completed their exams in November.

Cambridge AS and A Levels are globally regarded as among the most demanding senior-school qualifications. They go beyond traditional matric, often aligning with first- or second-year university study. These qualifications require analytical thinking, independent learning, resilience, and academic maturity.

November 2025 Cambridge Advanced Results saw a 95% overall pass rate, reflecting learners’ engagement with one of the world’s most rigorous academic systems, often alongside enrichment programmes and focused university preparation.

“These results reaffirm Alma Mater’s commitment to high academic expectations, structured support, and integrity,” said Ann-Louise.

“We prepare our learners not merely to pass exams, but to thrive at university and beyond. We congratulate every learner for their perseverance, every teacher for their dedication, and every family for their support. Excellence is earned, and the Class of 2025 has delivered.”
