We are delighted to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all

Get Ahead College is a school like no other. Nestling between the hills of Komani (Queenstown) is a small school that is obsessed with educational excellence. We believe in creating accessible, life-changing opportunities for our students through offering them a top-quality academic
offering that will open gateways for them in the future. As the first and only IEB (Independent Examinations Board) school in Komani, we are able to offer rigorous, globally benchmarked assessment. We are at once globally orientated and deeply located in the communities that we serve.

We aim to be the leading STREAM school in Africa, recognizing that our students will be going out into a fast-changing world. Our 4iR classroom environment and our focus on all forms of technology ensures that our Get Ahead graduates will be masters of technology – never its slave.

Above all though, we are a space where children can find their own unique giftedness and flourish. We embed all that we do in positive psychology and create sporting and cultural opportunities to ensure a properly balanced school experience.

A truly great education is one that grows the mind, strengthens the body, and enriches the soul. To that end, our distinctly Christian ethos is welcoming, inclusive, and informs everything we do.

I like to think that we are a small school, right in the middle of the Eastern Cape, where something truly spectacular is happening.
