the national school of the arts

Our goal is the holistic development of our learners and academic achievement is therefore emphasised and encouraged. This attitude is the foundation of the excellent matriculation results and exemplary pass rate we have achieved and maintained over the years. We are consistently the best academic school in our district.

Experience has also shown that success in the specialist art & performing arts subjects is an accurate predictor of outstanding academic results. Furthermore, arts curricula are actively promoted in schools internationally because research has indicated that they enhance academic ability.

The benefits for our learners therefore lie well beyond their narrowly-defined specialist fields.
