A HAND PICKED TEAM

Specialists in their fields  

We believe true excellence in education is only achieved by a powerful, passionate team of exceptional teachers and managers preparing young, happy and motivated students to stand tall and make their mark anywhere in the world as the global citizens of tomorrow.

"I have no doubt that it was through my three years of study at Reddam that I learned invaluable skills – skills I may not have been able to acquire elsewhere and that have stood me in good stead during my subsequent studies."

"My son has had fourteen happy years at Reddam and we want to thank his teachers for providing a stimulating, creative, passionate and caring environment for him to grow and become the wonderful young man that he has turned out to be."

 

There is no better way, in our opinion, than to select the best teachers for every subject and to inspire and motivate our students academically, culturally and in the sporting arena. Teachers are hand-picked according to the following criteria:

  • Excellent academic qualifications.
  • Outstanding track records with reputations of having kept abreast of recent, relevant educational methodologies.
  • Dynamic personalities with a professional demeanour who create a nurturing educational environment.
  • An exceptional rapport and empathy with students by treating students with dignity and respect
  • Teachers who have a deep love and respect for children
