Programs sensitive to the developmental, social, intellectual and emotional needs of girls are offered.
Without boys, girls are focused on their performance rather than appearance.
A 1992 report from the American Association of University Women suggests that the classroom climate may explain why all-female schools are better educating young women. Researchers report that in co-educational classrooms girls are shortchanged, especially in math and science. Also, boys tend to dominate discussion, monopolize the teachers’ time, and receive more affirming comments about their ability. Females who enter school equal in achievement and attitude to male classmates are leaving with lower test scores and diminished dreams.

While your daughter’s goals may not yet be clear to her now, you already know that her happiness and success begins with decisions you make today. Her time is now.
That is why we encourage you to consider sending her to the High School for Girls Potchefstroom. Our high academic learning environment is designed to make our young women the centre of learning, leadership, growth and endless opportunity.
At Potch Girls High, each young woman will have the opportunity to develop and grow spiritually, intellectually and socially. Girl’s High girls are allowed to find their voices in the absence of adolescent boys, whose learning styles and maturity levels are arguably different. Free of the pressures of competing for attention socially and academically, the girls are free to be themselves in the classroom, focus on their work and develop into strong leaders. Here, the peer pressure is positive.

To me, The High School for Girls, Potchefstroom, transcends the mere definition of an institution.
The school, along with its dedicated staff members and fellow students, has played a pivotal role in shaping and nurturing me.
The diverse and distinctive experiences offered by the school create opportunities for personal development and growth in unexpected areas.
This institution has not only equipped me with valuable life skills but has also gifted me with cherished memories.
I express immense gratitude for having spent my teenage years here; I wouldn’t have wished for it any other way.
In 2019, my daughter enrolled at The High School for Girls, Potchefstroom.
Since then, Girls High has served as a second home away from home, where she has transformed from a shy young girl to a confident and poised young lady.
The school’s motto, “Res Severa Verum Gaudium,” emphasising that hard work brings true joy, resonates not only in academic pursuits but also in all facets of life.
The High School for Girls, Potchefstroom, offers each young lady a secure space where they can feel safe, pose questions, and undergo personal growth in their unique ways.
Being associated with such an extraordinary institution has been an immense honour.
