Grade 10, 11 and 12 – FET Phase
At Al Azhar Institute Johannesburg ,during the Grade 9 year, our learners are encouraged to start thinking about the subjects that they intend to study in the FET Phase leading up to matric. The learners are required to choose subjects at the end of the Grade 9 academic year. Our learners are given all the necessary support and guidance in making their decisions. A dedicated careers day is held each year where learners are given information relating to the requirements of the National Senior Certificate, subject choice and the requirements of tertiary institutions.
Our Learners are required to do 4 compulsory subjects, namely, English Home Language, First Additional Language (Afrikaans), Mathematics (or Mathematical Literacy) and Life Orientation. Each learner must choose at least 2 other subjects, although many of our learners choose 3 and some even choose 4 additional subjects. Additional subjects on offer include Accounting, Arabic, Business Studies, Geography, History, Physical Science and Life Science (Biology).
Learners can also choose Arabic as an additional subject in the F.E.T Phase or choose it as part of their seven subjects, whereby writing it as a final matric subject.
Our academic programme offers a wide variety of subjects to our learners. Our educators are specialists in their learning areas, and their dedication and commitment to providing excellent tuition allow our learners to reach their maximum potential.
Our learners are allowed to develop in every dimension and, as such, their education goes beyond the classroom and the normal curriculum, stimulating extra-curricular activities are arranged that engage our learners in exciting interaction. Our learners participate in internal and inter-school speech contests, book and newspaper quizzes and go on excursions to places of educational interest. They also participate in community outreach programs, and school assemblies are geared to raise awareness of issues affecting our community and the Muslim Ummah as a whole. This helps to develop independent and critical thinking and contributes to the development of a well-rounded and independent individual.
