At Crawford International, it's about more than just an education.
At Crawford International, we encourage our students to become empowered, curious young people, who choose to make a difference in the world around them. Our learning community embraces student agency where individuals take responsibility for their personal and academic success. We acknowledge effort and achievement on every front, and are invested in discovering talents in every student, because we believe every child is a masterpiece.
We implement a philosophy, Crawfordology, which is internationally minded and respects each individual's needs, rights and dignity; and is centered on taking action to make the world around them a better place.
Empathetic
We encourage students to acknowledge how they feel and to express it. We encourage them to be themselves and live freely while creating an environment where empathy will flow through.
Unafraid of Self-Expression
We purposefully encourage our students to align with their truest selves: we encourage students to acknowledge their feelings, think their thoughts and build them towards mindful self-expression.
Mindful
Through open and mindful engagement, we build empathetic attitudes towards each other and our surroundings. We encourage a genuine understanding of the realities of others.
Curious
At Crawford, we understand that curiosity is the food that fuels knowledge. We encourage our students to ask, ask and ask again, as questioning minds pave the road to fulfilling revolutionary ideas. Crawford students explore the world with open curiosity.
Assessments
Crawford International has a panel of professional educators who constantly evaluate examinations/assessments/portfolios which our students undertake. Grade 12 Crawford students write the National Senior Certificate (NSC) as their final matric examination through the Independent Examinations Board (IEB).
Co-curricular Activities
At Crawford International, we encourage and motivate students to try new pursuits by offering a variety of opportunities within and beyond the classroom. This fulfils a vital educational function, as active participation contributes to the all-round development of our students. The activities further allow students to have fun while improving their health and wellness.
Multiform: Uniforms
Crawford International has a unique approach to uniforms. Rather than a uniform, we have a ‘multiform’ that encourages a sense of individuality. By offering options within the uniform, students can mix and match the casual uniform daily, allowing for freedom of expression within acceptable boundaries.
Conduct
An underpinning value of a Crawford education is ‘education without fear’. A positive and nurturing environment exists within our schools, where individuality and mutual respect are promoted. Our code of conduct further ensures that our students are responsible for their actions and have a clear understanding that their choices have consequences.
Crawford International is part of the Schools Division of the ADvTECH Group, a JSE-listed company. Being part of a bigger group ensures ongoing investment, financial stability, efficient online systems and academic excellence.
