    Just Average

    We have been with the school for a few years now. I would say it is average. The quality of education is no better than a public school, and since they recycle teachers quite often, the consistency of education is up and down. They also have a current Math teacher that should have retired years ago but the school seems to be beholden to him.

    School fees

    To whom it may concern, This is extremely frustrating, I made a payment for my sons school fees on Sunday 05/03/2023, and requested that i get a receipt for the payment, and up until today i have not even received an acknowledgment.

    Disrespect for the dignity and honor of students.

    As a former student, I have experienced my fair share of mishaps and incidents. As wonderful as the school may be, the current Principal of the school is the issue. As much as he promotes a “safe and friendly environment for your children”, when there’s a moment where you’re alone with your parent and him, because of something you and a friend did wrong, he feels the need to disrespect the dignity and honor of the other students. Yes, there’s always gossip about students amongst teachers and s...

    Immortality Lessons of Success

    Al-Azhar High School shows that there is no difference between secular and Islamic knowledge. It is a school that confidently strives for excellence through the holistic development of each and every student. The school disciplinary action is correctly aligned with Islamic Law. It is a school of endless possibilities - it’s limits are determined by its’ students. Al-Azhar High School , an institute in connection with Al-Azhar University Cairo, Egypt, has exceeded academic standards. It has shared and usurped the spot light in many well known academic competitions ( UCT Math Olympiad, Business Studies Comp WC, Eisteddfods) . Al-Azhar has also maintained high pass rates succeeding many other pre-eminent schools in Western Cape, with a 100% pass rate in 2018. Extra-curricular opportunities are mediocreat Al-Azhar but ,with its enthusiastic teachers, and principal, can reach higher levels. Chess, Outreach, Sport and many other activities are available! As a proclaimed Islamic school, annual Quran readathons and Islamic festivities are held. Prayer is upheld and many other Islamic opportunities are available.Arabic, is a subject taught among others Islamic subjects ( Fiqh, Tougheed).It is a DBE approved subject that is credited for at Universities and other Tertiary institutions. Physical Science, Mathematics, Mathematics Literacy, History, Computer Application And Technology (CAT), Life Science, Accounting, Business Studies are other available subjects. Al-Azhar High School Teaching board has not failed in quality. The school is made up of highly qualified teachers whom dedicate their effort and time to each student present. A “catered” form of excellent education.The smaller class capacities, top notch equipment, classrooms, laboratories and facilities adds value to its’ education. Al-Azhar High School is homely. An essence of true belongingness is felt by the warm environment. There would be no regret in sending your child to Al-Azhar High School! The school’s motto echoes excellence. R. E. D. A. A, Respect, Excellence, Discipline , Akhlaaq( Character) , Allah Consciousness, is instilled into their students. Accompanied by ‘Work Hard and Make it Happen! Al-Azhar 100%!’ , it shows the appreciation for hard work and effort. Doubtlessly, Al-Azhar contributes to a successful academic future, but most importantly, prepares one for this life and the hereafter. The Al-Azhar High School certainly leaves you in a better forever.
