FET
(Further Education and Training Phase)The Grade 10 – 12 FET curriculum requires learners to take seven subjects which include four core subjects and three electives.
Four Core Subjects:
- Two languages, one of which must be a Home Language (i.e. English)

- Life Orientation
Three Electives:

- Accounting
- Consumer Studies
- Design

- Geography
- History
- Information Technology
- Life Sciences
- Music

Unlike most other schools, at Rustenburg almost any subject combination is possible as electives are not grouped.
It is possible for learners to take more than seven subjects (NSC registered). For example, Dramatic Arts and Information Technology are offered at Rustenburg outside of normal school hours as an eighth subject. Learners can also choose eighth subjects offered at other institutions after school hours, such as Engineering Graphics and Design, Business Studies and Marine Sciences.
Rustenburg also offers Advanced Programme Mathematics and Advanced Programme English as additional subjects. These are examined by the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) and do not form part of the NSC curriculum.
The school reports to parents on learner progress in all subjects each term, based on the assessment tasks completed during that term. This is conveyed by giving both a percentage and the corresponding rating code for each subject.
