Parents

There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.

For prospective parents, please consider the following questions:

THINKING OF SENDING YOUR CHILD TO BOARDING SCHOOL IN SOUTH AFRICA?

THINK AGAIN.

1.    How often will you see your child?  Will you be present when your child is performing, playing or simply participating in school activities?

2.    In addition to tuition and boarding fees, what are travel costs?

3.    Are the school’s academic results among the best in Africa?

4.    Do graduates attend top-tier universities world-wide?

5.    Does this school engage actively with the needs of the local community?

6.    Does this school offer a world-class programme in the visual and performing arts?

7.    Are there any special post-graduate opportunities for Batswana? 

8.    Does the school try to admit students from all income groups?  Does it offer orphan bursaries?  From where do most of the students come?

THINK MARU-A-PULA.

1.    A world-class school located right here in Gaborone.   Be present when it counts.

2.    Fees below most top SA schools.  Travel costs: We’re right down the road.

3.    One of Africa’s top schools, our 2008 IGCSE results were the best in the school’s history:

•    NEARLY HALF (49.7%) of the exams written received A*s or As – a new record.
•    In fact, 47 STUDENTS (out of 101 writing) achieved SIX or more A* or A grades.

4.    MaP grads currently attend Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Willams, Wesleyan, McGill, Wits, UCT… to name just a few.  The vast majority won scholarships with generous financial aid.

5.    Opportunities for active engagement: teaching in Gabane, feeding destitute families in Old Naledi, visiting children at the SOS Village in Tlokweng or at Princess Marina Hospital, connecting with our community’s needs.  Our students learn to walk the service talk.

6.    MaP is the home of Maitisong, the premier centre for theatre, music and dance in Botswana; we offer unrivalled and inspired instruction in the visual and performing arts.

7.    12 overseas scholarships for exemplary Form 5 students at US & Swiss schools.

8.    A third of our Batswana students receive financial assistance. 28 orphan scholars in the school currently.  34 different nationalities represented: 63% Batswana, 37% expatriate.
