The year 2025 marks a significant milestone for Melkbosstrand Private School, as it proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary while also commemorating the exceptional achievements of its inaugural IEB matric group of 2024.

A Record of Excellence
For 14 consecutive years, Melkbosstrand Private School has maintained an unbroken 100% matric pass rate, a remarkable achievement for any educational institution.

Rising to the challenge with poise and determination, the 2024 matric class achieved an impressive 91.4% Bachelor’s Pass rate, further cementing the school’s reputation for academic excellence.
The IEB Advantage
Transitioning to the IEB curriculum is no small feat, as it demands a robust approach to teaching and learning. The IEB’s emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and application-based learning aligns seamlessly with Melkbosstrand Private School’s educational philosophy. The success of the 2024 matric group highlights not only the learners’ dedication but also the expertise and support of the school’s passionate educators.
