Academic

At Berg-Op Academy we believe in excellent education that will equip our children in the best possible way for the future, providing a broadly-based curriculum in a Christian and family environment that is designed to motivate, challenge, encourage and inspire pupils. We live in a time where the world is changing at an incredible pace and the demands on our children to succeed in this environment will be different and greater than ever before.

We follow the National Cambridge Curriculum but with a new and modern outlook on the learning environment and teaching methods, based on the principals and methods from the Finnish education system. Finland is the international leader in education and through our Finnish and other partnerships we are leading the way in Namibia towards better, future orientated education.

As part of our future orientated education we make use of different E-Learning systems, do additional practical skills development in Design & Technology and are currently working on introducing a Robotics curriculum. Additionally, children graduating Grade 12 from Berg-Op Academy will have a certificate that will enable them to study internationally and not just in Namibia and South-Africa.
