*Best Performing Independent High School in the Eastern Cape

Academic Technical

Quality education that inspires

Recognized as a Top 20 Academic Institution in the Eastern Cape for over a decade and the best-performing high school in 2023, Global Leadership Academy takes education seriously. We follow the National Curriculum with a parallel-medium language policy and offer Grades 8–12 with a wide variety of subject choices. Starting in 2025, we proudly introduce a technical stream alongside our academic stream.

With Jeffreys Bay being one of the fastest-growing economic hubs in the province, adding a technical stream equips our learners with critical skills in engineering, civil, and electrical trades. This ensures they are prepared to contribute to the economy in essential areas. Our commitment to academic excellence goes beyond the classroom, fostering problem-solving, critical thinking, and strong work ethics. We shape leaders who are bold in faith, strong in values, and ready to make a meaningful impact on the world.

Future
Ready

Since 2018, Global Leadership Academy has embraced eBooks for all content delivery, ensuring that every learner has immediate access to digital textbooks. While learners continue to use workbooks like in traditional schools, the shift to electronic textbooks offers significant benefits. This approach not only ensures timely access to updated resources but also reduces costs for both parents and the school, making education more efficient and accessible.

In Person
Teaching

We believe in the value of traditional, in-person teaching, where qualified educators deliver engaging and informative lessons face-to-face. This direct interaction between teacher and student fosters a dynamic learning environment, enhanced by a variety of educational resources. By prioritizing personal connection and real-time engagement, we ensure the most effective learning outcomes.

Experential
Learning

At Global Leadership Academy, we encourage teachers to embrace creativity in their teaching methods by incorporating experiential learning opportunities. This includes practical excursions, hands-on experiments, and real-world experiences that bring the curriculum to life. By engaging students beyond the classroom, we foster deeper understanding, critical thinking, and lasting knowledge.
