Our approach to learning and to our students is driven by a sense of perspective and one of the outcomes that matter 

most to us - ensuring a successful matric and qualifying for university entrance.

A struggling student needs a confidence boost and extra help, not punishment. Not all individuals are made to conform to elements such as strict rules and dress codes, for instance. With our constant feedback and reports and wide subject combination, we empower students to be the best version of themselves, with unmatched support from our teachers and support staff.

We value: Co-operation, empowerment, accountability, choice.

We encourage: Personal growth, fulfilment of academic potential, and confidence in your potential.

We are: Mutually respectful. We care about people not statistics, and about providing unconstrained learning opportunities. We utilise supportive, individualised success metrics and focus on incremental improvement, not exclusion.

Individuals not given the right conditions in which to grow often don’t develop to their full potential.

Abbotts provides an option and an alternative to the standard school environment and a solution to the potentially negative trajectory of students who require a different approach. Abbotts College plays an essential and unique role in the future of South Africa, by developing productive and empowered members of society who may not otherwise have been able to achieve to their full potential. Increasingly, mainstream Millennial and Generation Z students want to carve their own way in the world – regardless of aptitude or chosen subjects.

Abbotts is about getting the best out of everyone, even if the student is already performing perfectly well. Imagine a student getting the assistance they need from a mentoring process created to help them achieve their true potential and develop their EQ.

Abbotts provides a solution for all learners. 

With the right support, everyone can achieve academic success and improve on their results.
