Our vision is founded on the following: “Proverbs 22:6 – start children off on the way they should go and even when they are old they will not turn from it”. We aim to achieve excellence in education enriched by a sound Christian environment.

Our experience has shown us that the traditional method of teaching and school as we know it is becoming obsolete. We believe that schooling is not merely about passing your grade but to develop a clear understanding of what you have learnt and more importantly to be able to apply this.

It is for this very reason that we follow the British curriculum as the philosophy of education not only provides students with knowledge and skills but encourages them to apply this to the real world.

About

Cultivating Excellence started on 1 January 2018 with only two students. Each of our students is allowed to develop at their own pace, has their own learning plan of action which caters to their own strengths and weaknesses. This approach has seen our students excel at both internal as well as external exams. We have also seen a significant growth in our numbers.

Vision: It  is founded on the following Bible verse Proverbs 22:6 ‘Start children off on the way they should go and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.’ We aim to achieve excellence in education enriched by sound values.

Mission: We believe that schooling is not merely passing a grade but to develop a clear understanding of what you have learnt and more importantly to apply this. To teach  all students to recognise the importance of the decision of what they choose to do with their lives. At Cultivating Excellence, we aim to provide an education that will ensure that our students are equipped to pursue any career. To us, your children are not just students, they are leaders. Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
