Thorn Tree Academy is a private primary school servicing children from disadvantaged backgrounds and Kya Sand Informal Settlement

Thorn Tree Academy is a non-profit school offering private education to children from surrounding informal settlements, and disadvantaged back-grounds. The mission of Thorn Tree Academy is to grow tomorrow's African leaders; leaders of character, strength, respect, and integrity. The school is focused on developing a 'contributor' mind-set as opposed to hoping to someday find employment. The objec

tive of this school is to give kids from poor or disadvantaged backgrounds, the same excellent education that is provided in private colleges around the world. Thorn Tree accepts kids of all learning-abilities including slower learners, or learners with handicaps. The curriculum is Christian-based, and used internationally. There are over 200 other Accelerated Christian Education center in South Africa, and thousand more world-wide. The curriculum is individual-focused which enables each child to develop at their own pace. Parents are responsible for 25% of the school fees, and the remaining cost is supported by donations or bursaries to subsidize. Around 30% of kids have breakfast, and little sports or arts stimulation. Thorn Tree is intent on providing all of these to our kids within 2016. Please contact Dr Belinda Kamp, principal of Thorn Tree Academy, if you'd like to know more about the school or set up an appointment to visit us. The needs-list includes securing 60 bursaries in 2016, building a playground and football field, and the completion of the school building and kitchen-facility. Come see the great progress Thorn Tree Academy pupils are making!

TREE PLANTING........ SECURING AND PROTECTING OUR LAND !
Students and teachers, together with volunteers from Green Peace, planting trees across an entrance to block off the trucks that lawlessly come and dump rubbish on our property and JMPD demolishing shacks of illegal criminals who are still taking land from us. All happening today. The students got to ride in an awesome Safari truck on part of our undeveloped land and their screams of joy were a blessing!

Curriculum Drive for our soon starting Third School Term on 9 July 2019. Our previous term overall percentage from all the exams was 95%. Our students love their school, teachers and studying. However to keep this awesome record we need the next batch of curriculum sponsored. So we are asking for funds towards what is estimated to be R20 000 (awaiting the Quote
Price from supplier). Every amount small or large, will add towards what is required. Just a reminder we are putting these students through a private school education giving those in the informal settlement an even playing field for the future when they graduate from Grade 12. This is a project worth investing in as the education they receive will have a major impact on their lives in the future.
