ADvTECH Schools has congratulated its learners – and their educators - on their exceptional results in the 2019 Matric examinations, which has resulted in the group emerging as a top performing private school group in South Africa.
The group’s IEB students achieved a 100% pass rate across all of its schools, and all ADvTECH schools averaged a 95,3% Bachelor Degree Pass with Crawford Sandton topping the list with a 100% Bachelor Degree Pass. Furthermore, no less than eleven students from the ADvTECH group were recognised in the top performing list by the IEB. These eleven students managed to be in the Top 5% of all their subjects.
ADvTECH currently has 109 schools across South Africa and the rest of Africa, and its brands include, among others, Crawford Schools, Trinityhouse, Centurus Colleges, Abbotts College Glenwood House, Elkanah House and Maragon Mooikloof.
ADvTECH Schools aim to provide a nurturing environment based on a foundation of academic excellence and innovation, while developing the whole child. The group’s quality assurance programme includes an extensive Professional Development programme for teachers and regular local and international benchmarking.
“We are delighted with the ADvTECH Schools performance this year and recognise with gratitude that it is the result of the visionary approach of our educators who implement our Group strategy of commitment to academic excellence with passion and enthusiasm. Over and above the excellent results we have achieved we know we are also producing leaders of tomorrow by staying on top of international global best practice,” says John Luis, Head of Academics at ADvTECH Schools.
“Our matriculants need to be recognised for rising to the challenge of never settling for adequate, but for constantly striving to do their very best in each and every assessment they faced during the academic year. These results only come from hard work and commitment throughout the learning journey.”
