Few schools can compare with St Benedict's on its
consistently outstanding matric results over very many years.
With its integrated approach towards religion, academics and
sport, the College has become increasingly well known for the
outstanding calibre of its pupils - not only for their academic
and sporting achievements but also for their integrity,
dedication and leadership.

St
Benedict's follows the S.A. National Curriculum from
Reception in Grade R through to
Matriculation in Grade.12.
In Grade.12 boys write the
I.E.B. (Independent Examinations Board)
National Senior Certificate Examination. |

Attempts have been made
over the years to introduce a greater variety of subjects
into the curriculum. These attempts, have been largely
frustrated, however, by the school's traditional focus on
mathematics, the sciences and, in more recent years, on
information technology.
It is in these subject areas that our boys generally excel - and as a result achieve outstanding academic results in the I.E.B. matriculation examinations. There has been no failure at the matriculation level since 1974 - and the University Entrance pass rate of our boys is generally
of the order of 95%!
Computer Literacy is a compulsory subject at St.Benedict's
from Grade R to Grade 9 - and thereafter Information Technology
(Computer Studies) or CAT (Computer Applications Technology) are optional subjects in Grades 10, 11 and 12.
