ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
All learners attend compulsory computer literacy classes which teach them basic end user computer skills such as typing, MS Word, Excel, Power point and Internet surfing from grade 1-12. Project based IT classes with certificates awarded at the end of each semester (end of the project) for learners from grade 1-12 where they learn about in-depth computer skills like coding, developing web pages, apps and databases are however optional.
SPORTS AND PERFORMANCE ARTS
We believe that for young minds to achieve their fullest potential, they need an atmosphere that combines academic and creative activities beyond the curriculum. We ensure this through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
Our well planned timetable allows for ample time to be devoted to after-school programs. We encourage every child to participate in sports (soccer, netball, athletics, and chess, swimming) and performance arts like music, dance and theatrical drama to build confidence and develop their aptitude to the maximum.

Counseling:
Standing by our school motto of “Nurturing the future generation” , the s school provides pastoral and behavioural counselling to its young adolescents and teenagers facing pressures that come with physical and emotional changes in their bodies as well as family and societal relationships. It’s our observation and firm belief that most learners are doing poorly in school mostly because of attitude and behavioural issues but not the lack of intelligence.
Every year, we train our School Ambassadors (Prefects) in basic First Aid and counselling skills to serve as Peer Counselors and to help us identify learners with personal issues that might need counselling and emotional support. We are proud to say that we have a success rate of over 80%
Internship Program for all our High School learners:
As of the 2022 academic year, Southampton Private Academy adopted a program of sending out all its High School students for internships in the communities where they live. As part of holistic education, it’s important that we provide school students with opportunities for internships with local industries, businesses and arts for their skill development and improve their career choice knowledgeability and employability. This is part of the Life Orientation subject requirement, CAREER GUIDANCE and motivation.
