ABOUT THE AFRIKAANS WINTER SCHOOL

Our Matric Winter School is a comprehensive three week course run during the school holidays. It covers the entire Afrikaans Syllabus.

The first 4 sessions of the course you will cover all the material. This is an opportunity to revise what you've already learned and then fill in the gaps. The final session will be for going over past papers. We will prepare you for questions and what to expect in the final exams. We will also teach you exam tips and techniques.

Our goal is to help you achieve your best results! If you would like to book please fill in the form below. Space is limited.
