Striving for excellence
Providing each learner with the skills necessary in a fast-paced, changing world.
Excellentia
Midstream College is a parallel medium (with instruction in either Afrikaans or English) private school with a Christian ethos situated in the south of Centurion. The high school opened its doors in 2007, and our first grade 12s wrote the IEB final exam in 2009.
We are known for high academic standards, top quality teachers, and firm discipline. Our balanced learners and alumni thrive nationally and internationally in the academic, sport, cultural and social spheres. The spacious school grounds house some of the most modern facilities in the country, including a huge auditorium, indoor swimming pool and hockey astro turf.
The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.
– William Arthur Ward
At Midstream College, our teachers are an inspiration to our learners. Our annual Belgian exchange programme and educational tours abroad are extremely popular. Our adventure club summits Mont-aux-Sources, goes kloofing in the Magaliesberg, river rafting on the Orange and diving at Sodwana Bay. The grade 10 Odyssey is a nine-day challenge not to be missed.
Quo Vadis? Semigrate to Midstream College and help shape our motto, Excellentia. Carpe Diem – make the most of the many opportunities Midstream offers.
OUR VALUES

Extract from newsletter 9 | June 2026
There is no right way to grieve; there is only your way of grieving and it is different for everyone.

In the midst of the exams and winter cold, the College paused and bade farewell to one of our own. Cassidy Naicker in grade 11 passed away last Wednesday after a valiant battle with Lupus. We had a vigil at the school on Monday that was testimony to her warm personality, fighting spirit and the fact that she was a proud Midstream learner. Cassidy, you are going to be missed in the Midstream Council meetings, orators, revue, drama and orchestra theatres, but mostly in the Midstream classes and hallways. Our condolences and sympathy go out to her loved ones, as well as to all our staff, learners and parents who have lost loved ones in recent times.
It’s good to reflect on life, take a step back and sit and relax and do something else.                                                                                                                 Floor Jansen
A number of grade 10 and 11 learners have already finished their exams and tomorrow all the grade 8 to 11s will have a well-deserved winter break. Good luck to our matrics with their winter school – vasbyt! May you all escape the winter cold by either getting up a little later and/or enjoying a warmer holiday somewhere. Relax, rest and break away from your normal routine.
Our best wishes to all our learners who will participate in provincial tournaments across a wide front during the holidays. Our drama learners, softball girls, cricketers, cross-country athletes, soccer players, scuba enthusiasts and Sabie to Midstream mountain bikers are also on various training camps and tours. May you train hard, rest and have lots of fun from the Drakensberg and Innibos Arts Festival in Mpumalanga to Potchefstroom in the North-West and Tzaneen in the north. All the best to our hockey and rugby teams, as well as revue learners who are practising in preparation for their matches and performances after the holidays.
Finally, a big word of thanks to the staff, without whom none of the highlights of this term would have been possible. A further thank you to every parent, learner and staff member for the good ambassadors you are for the College. We have been inundated with applications for grade 8 in 2027 and are currently busy with our admission process. Most prospective grade 8s are already aware of the current state of their applications.
Carpe diem – seize the upcoming opportunities!
