I am a former student of Wicus Jordaan. He was one of the greatest influences on my life. He always went the extra mile and took a genuine interest in me. He was always there for his students, he played a vital role in building the students up, and he encouraged us to believe in ourselves. I highly recommend this institution for your children.
