TRANSCRIPT
At Kingswood we have recognised the need to rethink the way we educate our pupils. Whilst a solid understanding of traditional subjects is crucial, they are no longer adequate in a rapidly changing world.
We need to prepare our pupils for this world by teaching them to be forward thinking and adaptable to their surroundings. Life skills are essential to thrive in a world where tomorrow is an unknown. We, as a school, need to think bigger in order to enable our pupils to cope with personal, local and global issues and the impact they have not only on our own lives, but also the lives of those around us.
In order to ensure that our matric leavers flourish as they enter the next chapter of their lives and are able to confidently face life’s challenges head-on, we have put together an exciting and groundbreaking strategic plan to take us to 2020.
Introduction
“Our strategy has been formulated with input from staff, pupils, parents and members of the school council. Ownership of the plan is key to its success. This bottom-up approach is the first of its kind in an independent school and we are proud to raise the bar with regards to the development of an innovative strategic plan, where collaboration, relationship building and a shared vision are the cornerstones.” - Dr Colleen Vassiliou (College Head), 2019

Areas of focus:
Kingswood promises that if you trust us to, we will take your children on a journey of self-discovery so that they can realize their potential as positively influential global citizens, and leaders of change. We will guide them to become critical thinkers, engaged and involved in their communities, and empathetic to the needs and challenges being faced by others.
Drawing on its own long history, and the tradition of leading change common to our country's independent schools, Kingswood produces principled, independent, passionate matriculants with a tenacious self-reliance. This trait is inculcated and nurtured throughout their schooling in a non-judgemental, family-oriented environment where excellence and achievement, in every field, is valued and celebrated.
Believing passionately in the value of a progressive co-educational environment, Kingswood gives its pupils every opportunity to be the best they can be - for their families, for their country, and in their chosen careers. That is our promise to parents and pupils, and the philosophy underpinning every choice we make.
And with God’s help, we will. This Strategic Plan has been developed by champions in strategic areas, in colutation with College staff and management, parents, pupils
and Council to prove a disciplined approach to management and development of the College for the period 2018-2020.
Our promise...
OUR VISION
To be recognised locally, nationally and internationally as an excellent Methodist School and as a transforming influence in society
OUR MISSION
Kingswood College provides an education in a family-like environment, developing the self-worth and the academic, leadership, spiritual, social, moral, cultural and physical potential of every pupil and staff member
OUR CORE VALUES
Caring discipline / Children matter / Honesty / Humility / integrity / Respect / Responsibility / Tolerance / Ubuntu
OUR CULTURE
Live our purpose / Foster our family environment / Openly communicate / Value uniqueness
“Effective character education is not adding a programme or set of programs to a school. Rather it is a transformation of the culture and life of the school.” – Dr. Marvin Berkowitz
Kingswood College is the first school in Africa, and only one of a handful in the world, to embark on formalising character education into its curriculum. Together with the newly formed Leadership Institute, a Kingswood College education is not only unique, but ground-breaking.
Educating for Life not only underpins all that we do at Kingswood College, but it is the promise we make our pupils, staff, parents and to the extended Kingswood community. It goes beyond merely equipping our pupils with the tools and practical skills to live and work in the real world. Our focus is to ensure a balance in heart, mind, body and spirit of each girl and boy in our care and to produce young men and women who will thrive in an ever-changing world.
We want to take our pupils on a journey of self-discovery, where individuality and differences are celebrated and pupils are able to reach their full potential in a safe, family-like environment.
Kingswood College believes that encouraging pupils to think of creative solutions in the classroom develops a growth mindset that will equip young school leavers to embrace and even lead the world of innovation. ICE (Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship) is a philosophy that will embed greater innovative, creative and entrepreneurial skills across the curriculum. It is about developing a broader mind, whether in Maths, Geography, or French.
At Kingswood we believe that at every opportunity from Grade 000 straight through to Bridging Year (BY), should encourage critical thinking and a problem-solving approach to learning, one that engages creative and alternative solutions to challenges and where creativity becomes the most powerful competitive advantage in securing employment in the post-school environment of the 21st century.
Through Innovative, Creative and Entrepreneurial practices, we will: Inspire excellence in academics, cultural activities and sport. Ensure a caring culture and build on our family environment, with a strong
focus on character building and leadership development. Thrive and flourish as a leading independent co-educational school,
engaged with our local and global context.
