SCHOOLS FOR INNOVATORS & LEADERS Nova Pioneer Education Group is a Pan-African independent school network offering preschool through secondary education for students from ages 3 through 19. We prepare the next generation of leaders and innovators through world-class teaching methods with an emphasis on 21st century skills. We launched our first school in South Africa in 2014, with the aim of incorporating the best education models in the world, while keeping it as affordable as possible. We’ve since expanded within South Africa, and to Kenya as well – with our first Kenyan school launching in 2015. In all of our schools, we bring in and train top educators to deliver educational excellence in an environment that nurtures our students to uncover their potential and blaze trails in the world beyond our school walls. We are developing generations of innovators and leaders who will shape the African Century. (This page was previously named Nova Academies. Our schools across Africa are now operating under one brand. Pioneer Academies (South Africa) and Nova Academies (Kenya) are now officially Nova Pioneer, Schools for Innovators & Leaders).

Quality education for future leaders.

St Stithians College is a prominent and transformative South African school – one that inspires excellence and makes a world of difference. St Stithians offers a synergy model of boys’ and girls’ schooling on one campus. Founded in 1953, this city school set on a 105-hectare estate has retained a country atmosphere and yet remains at the cutting edge of educational thinking in South Africa. Our values framework is defined by the Honour Code and Saints Character. Our Honour Code inspires us to Honour God, Honour others and Honour self. Our Saints Character is expressed through the opportunities created for our students and staff to "Know Yourself, Be Yourself, and Make Your Contribution". Our staff are critical to ensuring we can inspire excellence and make a world of difference to all the students in our care. St Stithians prides itself on investing significantly in professional development opportunities for all staff and due to our employee value proposition we have the ability to attract top quality educationalists. Each day, 2 600 students attend the co-educational Junior Prep, the Boys’ Prep, the Girl’s Prep, the Girls’ College and the Boys’ College – making us the largest independent school in Southern Africa. Kamoka Bush School, located outside Modimolle in Limpopo Province is our residential outdoor education facility on a game farm, where our girls and boys grow and develop through a curriculum of experiential learning and leadership. The Thandulwazi Maths and Science Academy runs an enrichment programme for up to 1 100 students and 1 200 teachers from schools in greater Johannesburg. In addition, St Stithians employs over 50 teacher interns – a contribution to creating the next generation of teachers in South Africa.
