It caters for Grade 8 to 12 learners and has strong academic results in the National Senior Matriculation examinations achieving a 90,6 percent pass in 2022.

Educators at Oakridge are qualified and adopt a professional ethic and all are SACE registered. They expect a high standard of work from the learners, in a manner that is encouraging, this results in learners achieving beyond their abilities.

Oakridge’s learner-centred academic program allows strong academic learners to be challenged and extended and ensures that the weaker learners are not lost in the system. The individuality of different learners is catered for.

Each grade has two or three classes and most classes have no more than 12 learners. By having small classes, each learner is able to receive more personal tuition.
