Admission Policy at Urban Academy

​

At Urban Academy, we are committed to providing a high-quality education in an environment that promotes individualized attention. Our class sizes are intentionally kept small, with no more than 30 students per class, allowing for more personalized instruction and support.

​

Language of Instruction

​

The primary language of instruction is English, with Afrikaans and Xhosa available as Additional Languages. We believe that it is crucial for students to thrive in an English medium environment, equipping them for future success.

​

Admission Criteria

​

When considering applications, we prioritize students based on the following criteria, as space permits:

• Specialized Skills or Talents: Students with unique skills or talents that we can nurture and develop.

• Strong Academic Ability: Students who demonstrate the capability to meet the high academic standards of our school.

• Focus and Compassion: Students who show dedication to their education and a commitment to fostering a disciplined learning environment.

• Support from Welfare and Missionary Services: Students placed by relevant welfare and missionary organizations.

We also give special consideration to previously disadvantaged students and those who have not had the opportunity to enter the educational system. Our goal is to create a diverse and inclusive community that supports every student’s growth and development.
