A World-Class Education in the Heart of Alexandra
Who We Are
Kgololo Academy is a combined low-fee independent school. We currently serve 245 scholars across grades R-9 and over the next 3 years will grow into a Grade R-12 school serving over 300 scholars. Kgololo Academy’s mission is to provide scholars from the Alexandra Township with access to a world-class education, within their community, at an accessible cost.
Kgololo Academy is composed of a team of inspirational teachers, parents, and community members who believe in the unlimited potential of the children of the Alexandra Township.
Setting Dreams Free Since 2015
The Challenge and Our Approach
In South Africa your demography defines your destiny. In the Alexandra Township, less than 30% of scholars who matriculate from secondary school do so with a Bachelor’s Pass; the pass needed for acceptance to a university. The average Bachelor Pass rate in schools that serve scholars from the more affluent suburbs of Johannesburg is 99%.
At Kgololo Academy, we recognize that true equality of opportunity begins with ensuring that ALL of our children have access to a world-class education. Explore our site to learn more about how we place all students on the path to success.
At Kgololo Academy we are a team composed of members who hail from all over the country and all over the world. When we come together, we do so as one big family, with different roles and one mission; to provide scholars with access to a high quality education. We encourage, challenge, celebrate, comfort and stick together regardless of the circumstances. We work relentlessly as a team towards our vision and there is no place that I’d rather be!
