In addition to what all top independent schools offer - rigorous academic study and numerous sporting and cultural activities - we are a Catholic Girls School.

Being Catholic ensures a solid grounding in Christian values, helping all our pupils (Catholic and non-Catholic) reach their full potential and become caring citizens.

Being a girls only school will enhance your daughter’s learning experience. This is supported by extensive research which shows that single-sex schools often produce superior academic results, and consistently outperform their co-educational counterparts. Single-sex schools also allow coaches to develop sporting skills more effectively.

Despite fierce competition from other independent girls schools, we continue to grow and thrive. Our small classes, dedicated staff and excellent facilities - all offered at an affordable price - make Assumption Convent School one of the sought after girls high schools in Johannesburg.

Academics

Our teaching staff reflect the same high standards, and thanks to our stable, caring environment, typically stay on for many years. They are also encouraged to be life-long learners and regularly attend workshops and lectures. Several staff members have completed Masters' degrees or additional educational qualifications.

Our high school subjects cover virtually all university and technikon requirements, leading to numerous career options. Because mathematics is critical to so many professions, we do our utmost to assist pupils in this subject. Our senior mathematics classes are seldom bigger than twenty, guaranteeing individual attention, while our free daily mathematics clinic helps pupils experiencing difficulties.
