We believe that shaping our children to be well-rounded and responsible global citizens will ultimately spark change and drive our nation forward.
The company’s vision is for South Africa to lead global education. This vision is not limited to SPARK Schools but aims to ensure that the standard of education in South Africa is elevated so that it becomes an inspiration to the rest of the world.
The SPARK Schools’ mission is to provide globally competitive education to South African families who may previously have been unable to access this quality of education. This mission is evidenced by the goal that every SPARK scholar should have the opportunity to go to university and enter a career of their choice. This idea passionately drives all we do.
SPARK Ferndale, the first school in the SPARK Schools network, opened in 2013 in Johannesburg, Gauteng. Since then, the network has expanded to serve over 16,000 SPARK Scholars at 26 schools across Gauteng and The Western Cape. We are committed to opening new schools across the country every year because we believe that South African parents and children deserve access to an excellent education.
