About
ThriveEd is reimagining what independent schooling can be. We offer high-quality, affordable private education tailored to the realities of South African communities.
Unlike traditional school chains, we don’t replicate a single model across campuses. Instead, each of our schools is built with its own vision, curriculum, and identity - empowering our school leaders to respond to local needs with creativity and care.
Our history
We opened our first school in 2015, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become ThriveEd. Our founding team and our founding values have always remained the same: to design vibrant learning communities where students grow not only academically, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
Today, ThriveEd is a growing education group with a bold future. As we expand, our mission is clear: build a movement of schools that help every child thrive.
Our Thriveway Programme
The Thriveway Programme is our signature educational framework, developed to ensure that every learner thrives - not just academically, but emotionally, socially, and morally.
Grounded in rigorous international research and adapted for local relevance, Thriveway defines success holistically and supports schools in achieving high-impact outcomes across all spheres that shape a learner’s life.
Three core components
At its core, Thriveway is built around three interconnected components: clearly defined holistic student outcomes, evidence-based impactful practices, and an accreditation process that promotes continuous improvement and accountability. It equips schools with the strategic clarity, tools, and support to implement best-practice teaching, leadership development, and a nurturing school culture – without prescribing a one-size-fits-all model.
More than a curriculum
Thriveway isn’t a curriculum, it’s a comprehensive, research-led framework that strengthens the way schools deliver their curricula and run their campuses. It’s how we ensure that each ThriveEd school consistently delivers excellence, while remaining responsive to its unique context.
More campuses are on the horizon, and strong partnerships are taking shape.
ThriveEd is building toward a future where independent schools are as innovative as they are impactful. We’re focused on growth that is intentional, learner-centred, and locally relevant.
