Christian Progressive School (Pretoria)

Christian Progressive School in Pretoria. Christian AND Progressive. Pick a side, babe. That sounds like the name of a church that started selling cappuccinos and now everyone is confused about whether they are there for the sermon or the oat milk latte. The word "Progressive" is doing a lot of heavy lifting while "Christian" is standing at the back quoting Leviticus. Now let us talk about these numbers because jy weet hoe is dit. Fifty two educators for thirteen hundred learners. That is a 25 to 1 ratio, which means your teacher was basically running a taxi rank every single period. Forty kids? No wait, twenty five. Same energy though. You raise your hand for help and by the time teacher gets to you it is already second break and the tuck shop is sold out. The poor educators were not teaching, they were surviving. That 94.8% matric pass rate though, we see you. That is genuinely decent and we will not take that away from you. Someone in that overcrowded classroom was clearly grinding while the teacher was still three rows away from answering the previous question. Overall verdict: Christian Progressive School is what happens when a church and a conference centre have a baby and accidentally produce real results, a theological identity crisis with surprisingly good matric stats.
