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 8 | May 2026
Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.
W. B. Yeats
Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
Plato
A word of thanks to our parents who light the fire in their children and motivate them to perform to the best of their ability. High five to Clubstream who are incredibly supportive of the College and all our activities. You also look very flashy in your new Clubstream shirts! A heartfelt thank you to our parents who treat our staff in and out of the classroom with respect – we really appreciate it.
In Plato’s words, evoke the desire in your children to chase their goals and dreams during the coming exams. All of the best and thank you for getting up early and providing the extra coffee and support. Our matrics, likewise, need support to break the backs of their curricula in the next four weeks. Although the netball league ended yesterday, there are still playoffs ahead. Similarly, there are still a few rugby and hockey league matches during the exams. Thank you for your support in this regard.
Allow me this opportunity to also thank our staff who have spent many hours in classrooms, on sports fields and in cultural halls this term. The educational triangle of parent, teacher and child comes into its own thanks to the proverbial extra mile you walk. Keep it up!
Dr Carel Kriek
