Advice

Focus College is a very bad school and I genuinely don't recommend it to anyone, it's even a disgrace that it's called a "private school" I was one of the students there and my experience was a 1/10.Parents or kids wanting to go to that school I recommend you look for other school,cause your kids won't be happy & satisfied by that school's education,the Principal is very rude & doesn't care about how you feel,they also greedy about money,I haven't got my report from 2021 because of R20,when I pay that R20 now they telling me about more money & stuff,i genuinely don't recommend this school, worse part they don't have all the subjects that are needed at school,worst school I've ever attended in my life, I still regret even today for going to that school.


Thank you

Stay away

The principal is a megalomaniac, they’re paying way below market rate (I was earning the same take home salary as I earned 7 years ago with no benefits). It would be a stretch to even call it a school quite frankly. They’re hoodwinking desperate parents

Matric

Thank you to Focus College

I recommend the school for that child that is very different and needs to be seen.
Focus college is a small school that focuses in on the individual child. My daughter was happy there and got such good matric results that she was offered a 50% bursary this year at Varsity college for her first year BA in corporate communications . Well done to my daughter . She graduated her matric there in 2015. And once again a great Thank You to all the Teachers, Principle and staff of Focus College!!
She now just graduated from varsity and got Her Bachelor's degree so a big thank u to all concerned!!!

Unexplained demeanor

I've been suspended for planning my own matric ball for 5 days whereas someone who was caught with drugs on them would get a suspension of 3 days😡😡😡. The school has no interest in their students and the teachers were treated badly.
