CENTURUS COLLEGES

OUR VISION:
Centurus Colleges is a family of three independent, combined co-educational schools , providing superior education services and development programmes for children of varied abilities.

OUR SCHOOLS:
Pecanwood College, established in 2005, is situated in the Broederstroom area adjoining the Pecanwood Golf Estate and Country Club on the Hartbeespoort Dam. Southdowns College adjoins the Southdowns Estate in Irene, Centurion and Tyger Valley College is situated in the east of Pretoria on Lynnwood Road extension. Each school has unique architectural features and their own individual school character yet all benefit hugely from the shared capacities of their collective strengths.

HOW CENTURUS COLLEGES ENSURES ADDED VALUE:
The strong bonds between the professional educators at the three schools entrenches the strength of the teaching and learning at each school.

The positive relationship between the schools ensures a high level of competition on the sports field held in a spirit of friendly competition.

Experienced teachers with small classes, especially in key subjects in the academically challenging senior grades, provide a personalised teaching approach that supports the needs of every student.

THE THREE COLLEGES HOLD A COMMON BELIEF IN KEY PILLARS OF:
  • Academic Enrichment and Attainment that is available for every child at the school through a team of committed teachers, educational psychologists, speech therapists and occupational therapists all of whom operate from dedicated facilities at the school.

  • A diverse, balanced co-curricular programme that provides participation to both sporting and creative arts disciplines through a team of specialist coaches.

  • Environmental Education that focuses on global sustainability by teaching specific bush craft courses provided by our eco-education partners, Africa Nature Training.

  • Community upliftment and involvement through our four education trusts that encourage interaction with people of different cultures and backgrounds while sharing educational skills and resources.

Centurus Colleges’ motto, Teaching on the Edge, challenges teachers and learners to think creatively and challenge existing parameters in their lives seeking new ways of thinking and new worlds to explore.

Centurus Colleges seeks to make all teaching and learning at its member schools relevant to the real world and focused on the needs of the learners in our country right now.
