Our Programmes

Cambridge International Curriculum

The Cambridge International Curriculum is a globally recognized, internationally accredited British curriculum used by over 10,000 schools in 160 countries. It provides a structured pathway for students aged 3 to 19, offering a comprehensive education that prepares them for university and beyond. The curriculum is known for its academic rigor and focus on developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning skills.

HIA programme is structured in four stages:

  1. Primary (5–11 years): English, Afrikaans, Maths, Science, Humanities
  2. Lower Secondary (11–14 years): Foundation building in core subjects – English, Afrikaans, Maths and Science
  3. Upper Secondary / IGCSE (14–16 years): Globally respected qualifications
  4. Advanced / AS & A Levels (16–19 years): University entrance preparation

What Is the difference between a Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Qualification and the South African National Senior Certificate (NSC) or IEB (Independent Examinations Board) Matric Qualification?

  • IEB and NSC are monitored by Umalusi, the quality assurance authority for education in South Africa and are similar in content, grading, subject choice and pass requirements. The CIE is not conducted or assessed by a South African academic body, but by the CIE council, and is vastly different.
  • The Cambridge Assessment International Education assessments and exams are generally recognised as being more in-depth and advanced.

Benefits of Cambridge

  • Recognised by over 1,500 universities worldwide
  • Flexible school transfers globally
  • Strong academic foundation for higher education
