St John's College

St John's Sixth Form offers a two-year Cambridge AS and A Level programme for students post-grade 10 in the South African system, as well as an accelerated one-year post-matric A Level qualification.

Students typically choose four to six subjects at AS Level and three to four subjects at A Level. The number of subjects taken will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Matriculation Exemption is a South African university requirement and will be discussed with those students who wish to study in South Africa.

Our combination of subjects is outlined below. Students may not take more than one subject per column. Students will meet with the Head of Sixth Form to discuss their subjects at the start of the academic year.
