Advanced College (Pretoria)

Koedoespoort. KOEDOESPOORT. Broe, even the name sounds like something that happens to you after you eat bad boerewors at a braai. And they chose to put a private school there. An *independent* college. With 139 learners. That is not a school, that is a WhatsApp group that got out of hand. Listen, 139 learners total, combined phase, meaning they crammed babies and matrics into one building together. Your teacher is probably the same person who taught you to read in Grade 1 and is now trying to explain calculus to you. And with a 10.7 to 1 ratio, your educator knows EVERYTHING about you. There is nowhere to hide. You cannot sleep at the back, you cannot skip, you cannot pretend you did the homework. There are literally only 10 of you in the class. Your teacher knows your mother's name, your dog's name, and what you had for lunch. The word "college" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Advanced College. Advanced in what, exactly? Advanced in being located in a place called Koedoespoort? That sounds less like a school and more like a satellite office that forgot to close down. Thirteen educators for a combined school is giving very much "we are figuring it out as we go." Overall verdict: If you want personal attention and you enjoy a school where everyone knows your name whether you like it or not, Advanced College in Koedoespoort will find you, Advanced College will know you, but at least you will never be just a number, because there are simply not enough of you.
