Charity

The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has established the Cape Academy of Mathematics, Science and Technology in Cape Town to
provide specialised schooling for learners with the potential to excel in these subjects in the Senior Certificate examinations. The Academy accepts
both day learners and boarders, and is situated in attractive surroundings in Firgrove Road, Constantia, Cape Town. The Academy draws learners
from all communities, with an emphasis on those from previously disadvantaged communities. While focusing on mathematics and science-related
subjects, the Academy offers a full range of matriculation subjects. The school started in 2004 with learners in Grade 10. The Academy forms part
of a broad WCED Mathematics and Science Strategy to improve results in these subjects throughout the province. The school seeks to increase the
number of Senior Certificate candidates passing mathematics and science on the higher grade.
