TKLA has been part of the Tembisa community since 1991, and it is a privilege to lead this school. We offer education from Preschool through to Grade 12, in an environment where every learner is known, valued, and challenged to grow.
We hold to Christian values and believe that good character, discipline, and a love of learning are the foundation for a meaningful future. Our aim is not simply to prepare learners for exams, but to equip them for life.
We are committed to maintaining high standards, academically and personally, and to working closely with our staff and parents to make TKLA a school we are all proud of. We look forward to the journey ahead.
