If I could give 0, I would. My child came from a very good primary school where he was happy and had good grades. In grade 8 his grades plummeted in Protea Heights Academy. He has lost all his confidence and hope because he works hard but nothing seems to work. We got a sms in last year that someone wanted to speak to us about him but that never happened. I wouldn't recommend this school. For us this was a total disaster. I don't know where to start to try to help my child heal from this. Not everyone will have this experience I guess but I wouldn't have taken him there if I'd known all I know now. Very little communication from the teachers' side and parent-teacher evenings also a disaster with very little time to discuss. The school prides itself in very high standards but how about helping and preparing the children to reach that standard? It seems the tests are much more challenging than what is practised in class. Some of my friends and acquaintances also had to take their children out of PHA for similar reasons.
