Friends'Trust What Star Schools is about

Star Schools

  • The mission of Star Schools is to give quality, educational support to previously disadvantaged learners at affordable cost.

  • Teachers employed at Star Schools teach part-time and are sourced from top schools where they hold permanent positions.

  • Saturday and other supplementary educational programmes assist learners in Grade12 to improve their results. Better results will allow them access to tertiary institutions and the job market.

  • It costs R3,000 per learner per year. This includes Saturday School (throughout the year), Winter School (full-time during the winter holidays) and pre-exam sessions.

  • For more information on the Star Schools program, please visit: www.starschools.co.za and;
