About Our School
Education
Parents’ frustration and concerns about issues in education were well known. The need for an alternative option to the known norm of schooling is increasingly featured in conversations.

Our Passion
The passion for education stirred the desire in me to do something, albeit on a small scale, to meet this need.
Together with my two partners who share this passion, we managed enough funds to start Better Beginnings College in 2018, a school with a name that explains what we stand for. With a good, strong, solid foundation, any building stands strong.
Even so, every child deserves a good foundation, a better beginning in his/her school career. Many learners, who are potentially very capable, sit in huge classes where they fall through the cracks for various reasons. Since it is physically impossible for one teacher to cater for the needs of so many learners, gaps in some learners’ education develop. These gaps grow with time, resulting in poor grades, unhappy learners and individuals without self-confidence – Concern and Frustration for parents. This tendency is not to be tolerated at Better Beginnings College.
Small classes ensure that the individual needs of every learner are met. Our school is a happy, care-free safe haven where there is abundance of fun, joy, creativity, learning, attention, discipline and achievement.
