Micro Schools

The iBhodi Trust is a social impact endeavour which has been established to create a blueprint that enables future-fit secondary education at scale. Our core aim is to develop and demonstrate a new model of education which leverages pedagogical reconfiguration and the effective, intentional use of key learning technologies to deliver world-class education at the same cost per learner that the SA government at large spends per learner, per year, thereby becoming a catalyst for socio-economic mobility across the country.

Our Values

We don’t see values as mantras written on walls or housed in documents, only to be referred to on an annual basis. Our values represent who we are. They are the shared collective principles that we use to engage with one another and, ultimately, to achieve our goals. Our values live in our daily conversations, in our meetings and in our work. They represent the points of coaching, and the hard lines in the sand.

If these values resonate with you, we encourage you to apply for our vacancies.

  • The compound effect of continuous improvement
  • Assume best intent
  • If it doesn't scale, it doesn't sail
  • Safety and belonging
  • The relentless pursuit of affordability
  • Honest conflict > Dishonest harmony
  • The power of collaboration
  • Dare greatly

FUTURE LEARNING

Our aim is to create an exceptional learning experience by making the best possible use of new and emerging digital technologies. This has wide-ranging implications for all aspects of learning and teaching and each edition in the Future Learning series dives into a specific dimension of this complex environment.

Each Future Learning edition includes a video summary of the key issues - a quick and accessible way to keep up to date on key issues in this fast-moving field of practice. This is accompanied by a fully referenced White Paper that grounds our practice in theory, evidence and research. This is free to use and share under a Creative Commons licence.
