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 13 | September 2026
Veni, vidi, vici (we came, we saw, we conquered). May Julius Caesar’s words ring true for every grade 10 learner who set off on the 12th Odyssey this morning. We trust every learner and teacher will seize this opportunity with both arms and experience numerous adventures, as well as learn valuable life lessons. Thank you to Mr Acres and his team for making this incredible experience possible. The other grades will leave on their camps next Wednesday. Once again, thanks to all the parents for offering their children these carpe diem moments.
However, for our matrics, camps and Odyssey are the last thoughts on their minds at the moment as they are well into their prelim exams. A special word of thanks to the whole group for the manner in which they commemorated their twelve years at school with a festive braai at the Hub just before their exams started. Amid their Spring School, there are still many opportunities to look forward to in the coming months, of which the matric farewell is certainly one of the highlights. I would also like to invite all the matric parents to our final parent and gong function in the hall on Wednesday, 14 October at 07:30. Seize these opportunities to support your children at school for one last time and let’s celebrate their end of their College careers together.
A word of gratitude to all our revue learners, parents and teachers. We once again experienced an exciting and enriching year. They shone last Friday and finished first in the 8 Beats competition. Our three dramas similarly ended a very successful year with their performances in the auditorium last week. Our choir, Melodia and orchestra also had their best year ever – our annual MC³ concert was proof thereof. Well done to all the culture vultures.
We cannot control the weather but thank you to everyone who attended the morning market and the SpringFest last Saturday. Those who did not want to brave the cold certainly missed out.
Because the school already closes on Wednesday, 23 September, our next comprehensive newsletter will be published on 22 October. We will send out an information letter regarding school fees for 2027 and the school calendar for 2028 during the last week of school.
