Rosewood Academy

What Rosewood Academy does

Rosewood Academy is a private for-profit educational institution operating a single campus at 1 Parsival Street, Southern Industrial Area, Windhoek, Namibia. The school serves learners from pre-primary (Grade R, ages 4-5) through secondary education up to AS Levels, following the Namibian Ministry of Education National Curriculum at the foundational levels and the Cambridge International Curriculum in the upper secondary years. It offers two secondary tracks — an Academic Mainstream (Cambridge) and a Technical Mainstream combining Namibian and Cambridge content with vocational-adjacent subjects such as Motor Mechanics, Metalwork & Welding, Electricity & Electronics, and ICT. Enrichment offerings include Robotics, STEM Club, Genius Hour, and Entrepreneurs Club, alongside traditional and creative teaching methods anchored in an inclusive-education philosophy.

The school has deployed a proprietary E-Learning platform intended to enable collaboration between students and teachers beyond the classroom. Operationally, the school runs on a direct-to-consumer enrollment model: prospective families download physical application forms from the website and submit them along with a Recommendation Form at the campus reception. Revenue is generated through tuition and fees on a recurring basis tied to academic terms, with a Fee Structure for 2025 referenced though specific price points are not publicly displayed. The institution maintains active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to reach prospective families.

The leadership team is led by Executive Director Catherine Sissing, with Eva Bezuidenhoudt serving as Secretary and additional functional contacts for Finance and Operations, and Marketing and HR. The school is privately held with no parent company, investors, or subsidiaries disclosed. Specific operating geographies are limited to Namibia, with no online or distance-learning delivery indicated.

Direct peers

• Windhoek International School: Private K-12 international school also located in Windhoek offering globally oriented curricula, including Cambridge pathways. It competes head-to-head with Rosewood for the same expatriate and internationally minded Namibian families in the same city.
• Deutsche Schule Windhoek: Private German-international school in Windhoek delivering K-12 education to a similar Windhoek private-school demographic. It competes for the same premium-fee, internationally oriented families in the same catchment area.
• St. Paul's College (Namibia): Established private K-12 school in Windhoek with strong brand recognition among Namibian families. It directly competes with Rosewood for primary and secondary enrollments in the same city.
• Windhoek Gymnasium Private School: Long-standing private school in Windhoek providing primary and secondary education. It is one of Rosewood's main local competitors for Windhoek-based private-school families across the K-12 spectrum.
• Eduplex: Southern African private-school operator known for inclusive education and Cambridge curriculum across multiple campuses. Comparable to Rosewood for its inclusive-education positioning and Cambridge pathway in the broader Southern African market.

Regional players

• International School of Walvis Bay: Private international school on the Namibian coast offering globally oriented curricula including Cambridge tracks. Comparable in offering but located in a different Namibian city, so primarily a regional rather than head-to-head competitor.

Broad incumbents

• ADvTECH: JSE-listed South African private education group operating multiple school brands across the region. A broad incumbent that competes for the same premium private-school segment in Southern Africa, though with a much larger and diversified footprint.
• Curro Holdings: Major South African private-school operator with extensive Cambridge and IEB curricula. A broad incumbent in the regional private K-12 market, overlapping with Rosewood on curriculum type and family segment but at much greater scale.
• Inspired Education Group: Global premium private K-12 school group operating across multiple continents including Africa. Comparable on premium international-curriculum positioning, though operating at significantly larger scale and geographic breadth than Rosewood.

Emerging players

• CambriLearn: Online Cambridge international school serving learners across Africa and beyond. An emerging player addressing the same Cambridge-credential demand that Rosewood targets, but via a fully online model rather than a physical campus.
