We need a school that teaches in English and follows a South African curriculum.
What are the options for primary education in Mthatha for expat families?
1 Answer
Mthatha offers several primary schools that use English as the medium of instruction and follow the national curriculum. Public schools are administered by the district education office and are free, though they may have waiting lists. There are also independent schools that charge fees and often provide smaller class sizes and additional extracurricular activities. To assess suitability, review the school inspection reports available on the provincial education department’s website and contact the schools directly for information on enrollment procedures, language support and transport options. Visiting the schools during open days, if possible, will give you a clearer sense of the learning environment.
