Academic Excellence
Academic excellence is at the heart of Northcliff High School. Our dedicated educators inspire learners to think critically, strive for their personal best, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Through a challenging curriculum, innovative teaching, and a supportive environment, we equip every learner with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to achieve outstanding results and succeed beyond the classroom.
Northcliff rewards academic success at all levels and has a long tradition of outstanding achievement in matriculation examinations. A 100% Matric Pass rate is the accepted norm, with over 80% of our students going on to further studies at university. High standards mean that we foster a strong work ethic and a drive to succeed. Northcliff High has consistently been rated one of the top 3 feeder schools for the University of the Witwatersrand, the University of Johannesburg and remains a top feeder school for other major universities around the country. Our alumni cope very well with the rigors of university study and we see university success rates over 85%. We have a proud record of academic achievement and we see ourselves as a crucial step in our students’ progression towards Tertiary Education.
