Rejection of child by Andrews academy
We were looking to place our eldest son in Andrews as they offer a Cambridge curriculum. We had to pay a R500 application fee and then R900 for an assessment, which we did. They then requested a character reference from his previous school. Finally, after that was all in order, our boy had to go for an interview with the principal. She simply decided that Andrews would not be suitable. Now, why not do the bits that do not cost any money whatsoever first? Why take peoples money, in these trying times, and then simply decide that you will not be taking in the child? They espouse "Christian values" with "individual attention" but reject a child on a whim. That, of course, has quite an impact on a child... well, and the parents. Anyway, if you are considering this school, perhaps ask to do the bits that aren't going to leave you out-of-pocket first.

Waste of Time and Money
Without prejudice. My experience is a definite 0/10. We paid R30k to onboard our daughter. Textbooks are super expensive, school uniforms, plus, plus, plus. We wanted a Cambridge education for our daughter but instead found pettiness, incompetence, and apathy. Term 2 she joined, there were serious issues, the teacher involved apologized but the principal, who also owns the school, was very offended and took our speaking up personally. My inbox is full of threatening emails trying to bully me. After spending a fortune procuring textbooks, we find in term 3 that they're using outdated textbooks that are no longer in print! How do you write an exam with no textbook? Three days into term 4 and we're still waiting for terms planners! Her first term was so bad that we gave notice and immediately moved her to distance learning. One term to go then we are out of the contract! Counting the days. We will still continue with the Cambridge route, but next time we will look for a school that's not owned by the principal.
