Vision

The overall aim of the Thandulwazi Maths and Science Academy is to actively improve the quality of Maths and Science teaching and learning in schools.

Our key objectives are:

Operating a Saturday School on the St Stithians College campus, providing extra tuition to Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 Learners who self-select to attend these classes from a large number of high schools in the greater Johannesburg area, and in particular from under-resourced schools. The curriculum focusses on Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Accounting and English.
Facilitating the training of new Teachers through an Internship Programme which places Trainee Teachers in the schools of St Stithians College. There is a special focus on areas of critical Teacher shortage, such as Mathematics and Science, English and the Early Childhood Development (ECD)/Foundation Phase of education. The Interns are mentored by senior Teachers of St Stithians College during their internship
Creating an in-service Teacher Development Programme for Educators teaching across the educational phases. Teachers are drawn from schools across greater Gauteng, and workshops focus on improving teaching skills and methodologies; classroom management; and integrating technology into teaching and learning. Special attention is given to key learning areas: Numeracy/Mathematics; Language and Literacy; Natural Science; Technology and Leadership
Providing scholarships to highly talented FET-phase Students (from the group described as historically disadvantaged South Africans), enabling these Students to complete their schooling in a good performing, well-resourced school of excellence
