thinking, problem-solving skills, and preparing students for future challenges.
A key component of our STEM-focused approach is integrating research projects

analysis, and communicating findings effectively.

questioning, investigation, and discovery. They learn to apply the scientific
method, developing a systematic approach to problem-solving that fosters

transferable to various fields and careers.

Furthermore, our school emphasizes science development, boasting well-equipped
laboratories and technology that enhance hands-on learning. Our commitment to
excellence is mirrored in our dedicated science faculty, composed of specialists

ON COURSE FOR SUCCESS

“In Johannesburg, South Africa, Alma Mater International School sets exceptional
standards through its Borderless Learning Philosophy”

“Children can do so much more than we think they can, I’ve seen the research
they’ve delivered, it’s amazing.” Says James Moir “All schools will say, ‘We
need to prepare them for the future,’ but what better preparation than to teach
them research skills, to solve problems and work across disciplines?”  Alma
Mater’s Borderless Learning philosophy aims to form a bridge to higher
education, giving high-ability students a range of real-world, interdisciplinary
research experiences to prepare them for university life and careers.  “Our
focus is developing each student not chasing stats.”  ~ Quoted from the Feature
in the ‘Commemorative Album Her Majesty the Queen’.
