I AM SEVERLY DISSAPOINTED
Very rude staff and I can see that they ARE NOT environmently friendly. As a person who loves nature and all things accounted, I have seen more bird spikes and non-environment friendly building.

Administration decision making needs serious readjusments
The way the administration handles its decision-making needs serious readjustment. Decisions are based on how the principal is feeling from one day to the next. I was called in to discuss a matter regarding my child. The principal advised me on the day that the child will not be suspended, after me asking if there are any consequences to the alleged claims. The following day he calls me to tell me the child is suspended for their own safety, but cannot further explain to me what this means. I th...

Let's say it like it is
Let's just start off with the bad then we'll get to the good. Academics aren't THE BEST, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, the school lays a good foundation for tertiary education, not excellent but good. But what makes this school very very very unique is, is the way it prioritises social interactions and people skills. You can clearly see who's a Tygerberg learner when they leave, even if they weren't on a leadership pedestal, they are excellent leaders, communicators and overall people'...

Amazing school
The atmosphere at Highschool Tygerberg is amazing. The school is by far the best highschool I've been to including one of the Western Capes top schools such as Jan van Riebeeck Highschool. The friendly teachers that give their best to our school make it worth going every day. Although there are some aspects the school can give more attention to such as more cameras and more seating for intervals, the school is over all a very good school. The school has great educational benefits for your children and all the kids are being groomed into loving your neighbors as thy self. We are all a very big and tight-knit family with a lot of spirit. Every year we lose MTBS but every year we try again and with more spirit than the last. Over all if I can give my opinion I will definitely send your child to our school. It's a place where life long bonds are formed.

Tygeberg high school.
The school is very clean, but most of the students and teachers makes it unpleasant, some of the teachers doesn't treat everyone the same. And the saddest part is that most of the students do as they want.i heard that school has a lot of bad influence,they smoke weed on the school grounds and most of the teachers does nothing about the situation, they have let a student repeat the same grade 3 times. Most of the students be having sexual activity under age during school time in the boys bartroom. The labs has zero cameras. So anything can happen without anyone nowing.

Tygerberg not so good
I do not recommend the school because the learners including teachers are not so friendly.Their academics don’t satisfy me as there are a majority of learners that repeat the same grade for at least 3 years,meaning not only are the learners not pushing but teachers there are very demotivating.I remember last year 2019 the whole class of grade 8s failed Technology not even having 1 child passing.They always loose MTBS and other sports events which does not make me proud.My first year was not so good and I’m glad it’s my last.

From a rookie's perspective.
I have only been at the school for a couple of months, yet it feels like years. The teachers are determined aswell as all the staff and learners. Hoërskool Tygerberg has an incredible learning atmosphere aswell as an outstanding atmosphere and spirit at sports events.There is no better school to be at. Unfortunately we are not allowed to use the field just above the quad during intervals, I think it would benefit the learners as there is not much room for sports during intervals. Overall I have to say,it is for me one of the best schools in SA, if not the whole of Africa.

Mediocre
All in all a mediocre school. Not sufficient classes for all the learners they accept, leaving teachers with 45+ in a class at times. Sport is prioritized over all other extra curricula even though they pride themselves in it not. Teachers seem to have given up, making class environment unpleasant for both students and teachers. The WCED has made it quite clear to parents that this once a good school has become the epitome of problematic.
