According to law, all private schools must register at their local provincial education departments. All our schools are registered or are in the process of being registered. This process is time consuming, because facilities must be created and staff must be employed first before the process may commence. All private schools must also be accredited by Umalusi, the Council for Quality Assurance in General & Further Education and Training.
