OUR HISTORY
The Flagship school
In January 2016, we unfurled the banner of hope – Streetlight Schools: Jeppe Park Primary School. It was more than a school; it was a sanctuary for learners who had known limited early childhood development. And what we achieved there was nothing short of remarkable. It had 35 staff members and 247 students.
Our students not only met but defied international benchmarks in Numeracy and Literacy, proving that we could rewrite the rules of education. More than that, we sculpted creative, inquisitive, imaginative, problem-solving children – the kind of young minds the world desperately needed.
Jeppe Park Primary School, sadly closed its doors permanently on December 15th, 2022. For years, it stood as a beacon of education in the community, nurturing young minds and fostering a culture of learning and growth in one of the most underserved communities in the Inner City of Johannesburg,Jeppestown. Its dedicated staff and innovative approach to education made it a cornerstone of the neighborhood, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of more than 350 students. While its closure is a somber moment, the spirit of Jeppe Park Primary School will live on in the hearts of all who were touched by its mission to provide quality education and brighter futures for the children of the community.
