Academics

General:

Fully accredited by Umalusi and registered with the Department of Education, Harvest High School is committed to delivering academic excellence. Our dedicated educators design dynamic, engaging lessons to stimulate critical thinking and inspire a genuine love for learning. By providing personalised attention within a deeply caring environment, our ultimate aim is to build a sound academic foundation that empowers every student to reach their full, God-given potential.

We offer a comprehensive, CAPS-aligned curriculum spanning both the General Education and Training (GET) Phase (Grades 8 and 9) and the Further Education and Training (FET) Phase (Grades 10–12). As part of our continuous effort to expand our academic pathways, we are also excited to announce that starting in 2027, we will be offering Afrikaans First Additional Language (FAL) alongside isiZulu for our Grade 8 and 9 learners.

A Google for Education Environment

As a dedicated Google for Education school, we seamlessly integrate digital tools into our curriculum to actively engage students and provide robust academic support. Our Google Classrooms serve as a dynamic extension of the physical classroom. They are rich with subject content, allowing learners to easily access resources, review daily lessons, and revise effectively throughout the year—ensuring continuous learning and support even when they are away from campus.

Please explore the various resources under the Student Portal to learn more about our digital teaching and learning platforms.
