High School Phase
High School at Pretoria Chinese School is dedicated to preparing students for Grade 12, motivating them to excel academically while fostering a collaborative learning environment.
Spanning Grades 8 to 12, this phase guides students through adolescence, preparing them for Matriculation and future endeavors.
We provide a comprehensive and balanced curriculum that caters to each student’s unique talents and strengths.
Our curriculum is designed to stimulate and challenge students intellectually, offering vibrant and creative learning environments that promote curiosity and critical thinking.
We emphasise the development of excellent study methods and the values of hard work and dedication. We place special emphasis on the selection of the correct subjects for the FET phase using criteria required by international tertiary institutions. We actively prepare our students for further studies both in South Africa and across the globe using the internationally benchmarked Independent Examination Board as our curriculum.
Almost There!
During high school, students prepare for the transition into adulthood. At Pretoria Chinese School, we provide a holistic and nurturing environment to support this critical phase. Our comprehensive approach ensures students are academically, emotionally, and socially equipped for future success.
To accomplish this, we have several areas of focus:
ACADEMICS
Our subjects emphasize higher-order thinking, encouraging students to engage in debates and challenge each other’s perspectives. We aim to develop critical thinkers and independent individuals who can stand their ground, make sound decisions in crises, and adapt flexibly. Our students are taught to form their own opinions based on sound logic and reasoning.
CRITICAL
THINKING
We prioritize developing emotional intelligence, crucial for post-graduation success. Our tailored Life Orientation program includes camps, leadership training, mentorship, and discussions to support this development.
EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
We believe that a healthy body is necessary for the developing teenage body. All students are encouraged to participate in sports or other physical activities.

Pretoria Chinese School is dedicated to promoting academic excellence and leadership by providing opportunities for students to achieve their educational goals.
As part of this commitment, we offer academic bursaries to Grade 7 students who are applying to study for Grade 8 at our school. The bursary will include provision for Leadership Bursaries for students attending JEC from Pretoria Chinese School.
These bursaries will be awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional leadership skills in their academic work and extracurricular activities. The number and value of the bursaries will be determined by the school administration.
