“The Ashton brand is a uniquely different concept. On entering the Senior College, Form 1 (Grade 8) students are introduced to our ‘Two Worlds in One’ academic programme, the IEB ( Independent Examination Board) and  the international CAIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) Curricula.

 Unlike other High School programmes, we at Ashton allow our students to select both their curriculum and subject choices at the end of their Form 1 (Grade 8 ) year.  The students who have achieved an adequate average may select the CAIE curricula and write their international matric at IGCSE level at the end of their Form 3 ( Grade 10 ), while offering the IEB to all other students opting to write the South African IEB National Senior Certificate. 

 The beauty is in the detail, as this means that our Form 1 students on selection of their subject choice and curricula, reduce their current 14 subject load to 7 in their ( Form 2 ) Grade 9 year.  This has proven to be greatly beneficial as we provide further guidance in various careers and their decisions on the various option for tertiary study.  This also allows students the time and energy to embrace all the facets of schools life by being involved in sports, culture and clubs (of which there are many) on offer.  We embrace the importance in balancing academics with all of the life skills both inside and out of the classroom environment.

 Ashton Senior College staff are a true ‘dream team’.  The wealth of qualification and experience places them apart in the field of education.  The majority of our staff are post graduates with the PGCE (post graduate certificate in educate) qualification, from postgraduate degrees in English, Law, Journalism, PHD in Botany, Accounting,  Engineering and IT, just to name a few. The academic standard has been a continued marvel, despite Covid, with both our IEB and international CAIE – IGCSE, AS and A Level results reaching new academic records year on year

 Our strong Christian Ethos, together with our core Family values has been the backbone of our growth over the last 13 years. Ashton caters for students from Grade 00-00 to Grade 12.

 In 2021, we introduced the High Performance Program to help students focus on their strengths and improve their weaknesses in their specialised sports. Our state-of-the-art facilities, including an international standard FIH indoor hockey arena, and an FIH international standard astro-turf  has already hosted a number of international matches.

 At Ashton we believe in preparing our students for the future, teaching them resilience, love for others and respect for everyone around them and to become responsible citizens who contribute positively to society”
