Here are a few of Maru-a-Pula’s distinctive attributes: • World-Class Academic Results: Our students’ performance on the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level examinations positions Maru-a-Pula as one of Africa’s top schools. One example: Our IGCSE candidates have averaged over 50% A*s and As in their exams over the past three years. • World-Class Service Programme: Our 40-year tradition of community service is unparalleled for a secondary school. Students choose from over 25 different weekly opportunities to make a hands-on difference. • Outstanding Co-Curricular Programme: From basketball & karate to chess & debating, MaP students excel in local, regional and global competitions. • Pace-Setting Partnerships: Every year, six exceptional Harvard University undergraduates mentor MaP students for eight weeks in June and July. Two Princeton in Africa Teaching Fellows work with our students for a full year. • Top-Tier University Placements: A few examples show what’s possible. Seven MaP students currently attend Williams College, the top-ranked U.S. liberal arts college. Katlego Bagwasi and Ludo Sabone attend Oxford as Rhodes Scholars. Stanford has four MaP students, Princeton and Columbia have two each; we have one student at MIT and over a dozen at Africa’s top university, Cape Town.
