Alma Mater International School is the BEST!

Thank you to the extraordinary teachers at Alma Mater International School... for raising the bar! for being a cut above the rest! and for being in a league of their own! Words can never fully express our gratitude for your commitment, dedication, and hard work. #Respect.

It is our daughter's second year at Alma Mater International School and she loves it. We want her to have a respected international qualification, that universities around the world recognize. The world of work is also changing rapidly and it's important for our children to have an edge.

As parents we want the best for our children and Alma Mater International School is the BEST! The Cambridge International IGCSE is a coveted "golden ticket", it's hard work but it's worth it.

Thanks to the vision and leadership of Alma Mater International School's management, our children confidently embrace the world as global citizens.

Alma Mater Academy

I attended Alma Mater from grade 8 to grade 11 (2014 -2019)
When I started at Alma Mater in 2014, the school grounds and the teaching standard was amazing.
However, upon enrollment, I was promised the school had a fully kitted our music department and foreign languages avaliable.
That, was nothing but a lie.
The Cambridge syllabus is so difficult and the school offers no support to the students.
In 2018, I started grade 11, my As Levels.
At the beginning of the year, the school bullied the best biology teacher we'd ever had into quitting and in her place, hired a primary school teacher to teach As level Biology.
One after the other, our great teachers left to be replaced by teachers who could not speak English, were not qualified and on more than one occasion, were drunk at school.
We had an occasion where a teacher nearly hit a girl with his car in the parking lot when he sped into work drunk.
Another when one of the teachers used up all of the school's Wi-Fi, downloading porn.
A different teacher used to keep matric girls( who stayed in rez) in his classroom over break and later it was revieled that they were swapping intimacy for good marks in class.
The school proclaims to have a psychologist on the grounds, but she is not.
In fact, she is a mean and cruel woman bent on promoting the image of the school to the deficit of the students.
I was part of a class of 64 students, I was one of only 5 to not be on antidepressants, recommended by the so-called "psychologist".
She wore inappropriate clothing, dress so short you could see her undergarments and she'd regularly lean over and expose herself to the boys in our class.
In my matric year I had to transfer to another school just to finalize my matric.
I went from being an A student to flunking every class in Alma Mater.
The psychological damage that school did to me is immeasurable.
As a parent, you'll be paying money for Alma Mater to destroy your child.

Alma Mater International School

I completed my matric at Alma Mater. The standard of education is immaculate, considering that it’s the Cambridge syllabus. However, some of the teachers are, to be blunt, unable to teach their subject. The ‘cliques’ among the teachers also poses a problem, as one could imagine, making one’s learning environment quite confrontational.
