With nearly a million learners in 10,000 schools in 160 countries, the Cambridge International curriculum is the gold standard for international study. Renowned for the development of higher order thinking skills, the Cambridge International curriculum stretches, challenges and inspires learners, particularly in the fields of mathematics, science and technology. The curriculum is focused and streamlined, building through IGCSE into International AS and A-Levels, where a learner typically graduates in three specialised subjects at the age of 19.
The South African National Senior Certificate (CAPS), more commonly known as matric, is the most recognised matriculation certificate in South Africa. Written by almost a million learners each year, this expertly delivered curriculum is tailored to the South African context. With a wide range of subject choices, including 7 national languages, a matric pass is your gateway into the workforce and beyond.
Our Adult Matric provides a second chance for those who were unable, or never given the opportunity, to write their National Senior Certificate (NSC) when they were young — because it’s never too late to enable a better future for you and your family.
“A matric certificate can transform young and old people’s futures alike, by signalling their knowledge and skills to employers, creating pathways to further education, and ultimately improving their chances of finding work, keeping a job, and earning a higher salary.” - Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng

As an inclusive and innovative African institution, the University of Cape Town is committed to playing its part in addressing the systemic challenges facing our education system. As a result, we have taken the bold step to launch an innovative online high school in January 2022, where our academic excellence can be extended to high school learners across the country. Our youth are our future. UCT Online High School will enable learners to choose an aspirational school, which will unleash their potential to transform our country and the world.
