Our Core Values
- We believe that children thrive in a nurturing, safe and intellectually stimulating environment and strive to keep that belief at the heart of our foundation.
- We believe that ASC has a responsibility to prepare students for life, balancing academic excellence with the development of personal and practical life skills.
- We strive to create a true balance between freedom, order and responsibility in our classrooms.
- We believe in embracing the hard work of problem solving academic, personal and social problems through perseverance, while taking responsibility for our choices.
- We believe that high student achievement comes from students who are motivated from within. Therefore, instead of giving rewards, our teachers consistently teach students to become intrinsically motivated.
- We believe that by taking an active and purposeful role as educators, we are able to support and guide our students through challenges on the educational journey.
- We believe that when educators partner their ability to inspire thought and creativity with the foundational support parents provide, students are better equipped for a more positive school experience.

Our Vision
Our vision at ASC is to provide a high quality comprehensive alternative education, that empowers students to acquire, articulate and demonstrate knowledge and skills that will support them as life long learners.
The goals of our unique approach and programme are as follows:
- To instil confidence and self belief in children through the mastery of individually identified strengths and life skills.
- To instil in each child a sense of power and personal responsibility in acquiring a great education for themselves.
- To foster a deep and persistent curiosity that will lead to independent thinking and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
- To offer a more personal and evolved alternative to traditional education – one that offers a fresh and more relevant perspective on the delivery of education today.
At ASC we provide South African learners the opportunity to obtain admission to universities locally and internationally. The Cambridge International Examination offers a very high academic qualification and is suited for those who thrive in academia. Our environment also accommodates students who simply require additional time to accomplish their personal academic goals.
