Top 7 A Level Schools in Johannesburg

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Johannesburg has a mix of independent and international schools, including several that offer Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels alongside local qualifications. This guide highlights those A Level routes and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

Helpful datapoints when comparing A Level providers in Johannesburg include:

• A*/A and A*/A/B rates across recent exam sessions
• Subject breadth, especially in Maths, Sciences, and humanities
• Number of entries per subject and cohort size
• University destinations in South Africa, the UK, and overseas
• Accreditation and track record with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel

Where detailed data is limited, parents rely on reputation, inspection reports, and exam-support structures.
