97% matric pass rate for Christel House Academy

We heard from Ronald Fortune – Principal at Christel House Academy, an independent school for disadvantaged children. The first grade 12 class of the school achieved a 97% matric pass rate which is way above the national average of 60%. According to Mr Fortune, the results are a vindication of the School’s philosophy that it is possible to break the cycle of poverty through properly managed education which focuses on developing children not just teaching them a curriculum. He explained more on what makes Christel House different from other schools. Christel House South Africa operates through the generous donations of businesses and individuals in South Africa.
