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 7 | May 2026
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
Abraham Lincoln
In light of the fact that it was Mother’s Day on Sunday, I would like to pay tribute to all the mothers in our community. My mother would have celebrated her birthday today, had she still been alive. I have wonderful childhood memories and was in the privileged position of being taught English by my mother and Mathematics by my father in matric in the school where my father was the headmaster. While on a personal note, the 1st of May marked 20 years in the service of Midstream College. It is with huge gratitude and grace from above that I can look back on these exciting years. Thank you to the directors for their trust and support, as well as colleagues, parents and learners who have made this incredible journey possible. Soli Deo Gloria and may you all have a blessed Ascension Day today.
Our orchestra and Melodia participated in the Kraal Arts Festival in our hall on Tuesday and it was a thrill to firstly experience the number of learners participating and secondly to experience the quality and enthusiasm. I believe they are going to charm the hearts of many more audiences. Last Saturday, 40 of our learners also participated in the ATKV’s public speaking competition and made us proud.
On the sporting front, all the leagues are now in full swing and are likewise going from strength to strength. Our rugby (vs Bergsig Academy) and girls’ hockey (vs Montana) are at home on Saturday, so feel free to come and support. Along with the cultural activities, there was also hockey, netball, rugby, mountain biking, cross-country, squash and chess this past weekend. Carpe diem.Â
