Assumption Convent School, Germiston

Assumption Convent School (ACS) in Germiston, Johannesburg, distinguishes itself through a combination of a “small school” family atmosphere and big school academic results. While many private schools in Johannesburg are large, ACS deliberately keeps numbers low to ensure every student is personally known.

• Capped Classes: Classes rarely exceed 25 students, allowing for genuine individual attention.
• Personal Knowledge: It is often noted that our teachers and Principal know every girl by name. This prevents students from “getting lost in the system” and fosters a nurturing environment where quieter students can thrive.
• 100% Matric Pass Rate: The school boasts a long-standing record of a 100% IEB Matric pass rate.
• University Degree Pass: Our students consistently achieve a 100% University Degree pass rate, which is the gold standard for academic success in South Africa.
• Top Achievers: Our students students frequently appear on the IEB outstanding achievement lists.
• Service Oriented: There is a strong emphasis on outreach and “servant leadership,” encouraging girls to look outward and contribute to the wider Germiston and Bedfordview communities.
• All-Girls Environment (Grade 1–12): While the pre-primary (“Baby Steps”) is co-ed, the main school is exclusively for girls. We focus on: Removing social pressures during the crucial developmental years, tailoring teaching methods specifically to how girls learn best, providing leadership roles (Prefects, Captains) exclusively to girls, ensuring our girls leave with confidence in their ability to lead.
