Abbotts Centurion
Private High School
Abbotts College Pretoria, one of the best high schools in Pretoria, is truly a home away from home. Our students flourish in the comfortable, caring environment that is created by staff and fellow students. We celebrate our students’ uniqueness and embrace our diversity.
Besides teaching the required curriculum, our dedicated educators create the space for our students to develop and enhance their 21st Century Skills, namely critical and ethical thinking, effective communication, social skills, self-management and research abilities. Our students also learn to be global citizens, appreciative of our individuality and diversity, as well as being respectful of all.
Our Grade 8s and 9s will build their 21st Century Skills in EdTech, learning to code and work within programmes. Robotics has also been introduced, and our Grade 8s get to create their own superheroes as a process of self-discovery. Our Grade 9s create their own cities using 3D printers (working in groups) and discovering the myriad of careers found within cities - in preparation for their subject choices in the latter part of the year.
In the FET Phase, our students hone their knowledge and skills in their selected subjects, preparing them for tertiary education and the world of work, not only academically but emotionally. We focus on the academic success of our students, offering supervised homework sessions, with additional remedial assistance available where needed. Our dedicated teachers assist their students in reaching their full potential.
At Abbotts College Pretoria, we aim to assist students in cultivating high-level emotional intelligence and the ability to thrive in the adult world. Respect, honesty, integrity and responsibility are but a few of the values we strive to embed in our students.
Welcome to Abbotts College Pretoria East, your gateway to academic success.
