Silvermine Academy
Overview
The SMA Success Story
Silvermine Academy is an independent high school nestled in the foothills of the Silvermine Nature Reserve. Our students write the IEB NSC Assessment at the end of their school career. This curriculum is on par with the international benchmark for university entry and at Silvermine Academy we teach it at the cutting edge of educational practice. We pride ourselves on our unique approach to teaching students in small class groups. It is an inclusive school offering extended opportunities for students who learn at a fast pace and interventions for those who need it. We prepare and develop young people for the 21st century world with a blend of proven methodologies and innovative technological integration. We are fully accredited by Umalusi and we are a dues paying member of ISASA.
The school was founded in 2005 when the need arose in the Valley for a high school with small classes and the facilities to provide students with individual attention. Since then Silvermine Academy has been a fixture in the Fish Hoek and Noordhoek communities. Our roots run deep in our relationships with our community both inside and outside the school. Every structure in the school is designed to make students feel part of the family.
