Maseru Academy High School - Lesotho

It’s been reported that in 2016 – 2017, the South African High Commission issued over 6000 student permits to enable Basotho children to attend schools in South Africa. Almost 2000 of these children were living in Lesotho and crossing the borders every day, many of them leaving their homes as early as 5:30am and commuting long distances to and from school in taxis.

On the 3rd of May 2017, we celebrated the soil-turning of Lesotho’s first Academy, owned by the Free State Academy Group under the leadership of Mr. KF Crous who founded the successful Group in Ladybrand (2004), Kroonstad (2009) and Bloemfontein (2012).
The Maseru Private Academy will be the Group’s fourth school. The school will accommodate 2500 students and to ensure education of the highest quality each

classroom will accommodate a maximum of 30 learners per class with committed staff members and a professional management team.

With the full support of the Ministry of Education of Lesotho, this school aims to follow in the footsteps of its sister Academy (Ladybrand Academy) which was awarded Certificates for outstanding achievement in First Additional Language, Geography, English Home Language, Mathematical Literacy, Life Science and Mathematics by the Department of Education in South Africa on the 4th March 2017. Ladybrand Academy was one of the Top Performing Schools in the Motheo District in 2016 and obtained the Highest percentage of bachelors Awards in the district.

The school will teach the Cambridge Curriculum and because of this Groups affiliation of South Africa’s top universities, Grade 12 students will be able to graduate into SA universities directly, without the red-tape of bridging.
