Curriculum at Rockwell College

Rockwell attaches great importance to its reputation for high academic standards in a Christian environment with a very high percentage of students advancing to third level education.

Rockwell is also a recognised centre for G.C.S.E. (UK) and S.A.T. and A.C.T. Admission Test programmes for Universities in the United States.

There is a good international mix with students from as many as 20 different countries worldwide. This promotes a valuable interaction with different cultures.

For us, education is about the self-development of the student into a balanced personality.  We aim to give close personal attention to each student. There is regular contact between the school and parents. Year Deans are available to meet parents at designated times and progress reports are sent out to parents at regular intervals.
