At Eduvos we recognise the importance of a holistic education. We understand the difficulties
and complexities that learners face in today's inconsistent and uncertain world - both at home and
externally.
We realise that education involves the whole human, which is why one of our core values is that "we show up with
humanness". We avail ourselves to equip our students with the skills and necessary support to cope and thrive in
challenging circumstances and environments.
To facilitate this on campus, we arrange regular events and workshops; and make available a range of facilities
and services that support students to both complete the academic part of their journey as well as support life
skills; and have an appreciation for some of the topical issues that young people are faced with.
We remain committed to providing a safe and wholesome environment in which the student and the institution takes
responsibility for the learning journey.
