Welcome to our High School

Six years that shape a lifetime

At TKLA High School, we believe that Grade 7 is not just a new phase. It is a new chapter. Our learners arrive with strong foundations built in our Primary School and we build on these to stretch every mind, cultivate every ambition, and prepare every graduate for what lies ahead.

Our UMALUSI-accredited curriculum (CAPS) is taught by qualified, passionate educators who know each learner by name. From Grade 7 through to Matric, our goal is a well-rounded, confident graduate.

University preparation, career guidance, leadership and community engagement are woven into every year of High School at TKLA.
