Academics at Abbotts High School
At Abbotts High School, academics are at the heart of everything we do — but we do things differently. We understand that no two students are the same, which is why our academic model is built around flexibility, personalisation, and support.
We offer the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) curriculum, known for its academic rigour, critical thinking emphasis, and global recognition. Our students are equipped not only to pass but to excel — with the skills, confidence, and resilience needed for university and life beyond school.
What sets our academic approach apart?
Customised Timetables: Students can choose subjects that suit their strengths, interests, and future plans. This flexibility empowers them to take ownership of their academic journey.
Smaller Classes, Bigger Impact: Our smaller class sizes ensure individual attention, meaningful engagement, and strong relationships between students and teachers.
Mentorship and Support: Academic progress is closely monitored, with ongoing feedback, one-on-one sessions, and dedicated academic support when needed. Every student has a mentor to help guide them through challenges and celebrate wins.
Focus on Skills for Life: Beyond content mastery, our classrooms focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning — the skills that matter most in today’s world.
Consistent Results: Our academic track record speaks for itself, with students regularly achieving university exemption and securing placements at top tertiary institutions both locally and internationally.
At Abbotts, we believe that academic success looks different for everyone — and we’re here to help each student define and achieve their own version of it.

We are an Alternative School.
We nurture and encourage each student’s individuality; we embrace diversity, self-expression, and freedom of choice. We believe that treating our students as young adults builds character, creates accountability and responsibility.
Our focus is on academics, while this is the case our students participate in club sports and we offer various extra-curricular activities in the school.
