Future Nation Schools are an exciting new private venture in schooling in South Africa. Their preschools and primary schools are based in Lyndhurst and Fleurhof with another preschool in Randburg. These private schools use the project based learning method in their schools with their preschools being Montessori focused. I had the pleasure of visiting the Future Nation School in Fleurhof, and was inspired by the architectural outlay of the school premises, as well as the educational zest of the teachers.

Education is the best way there is to change and take control of circumstances. Education changes a person's life, and through that person the world is changing. The access to knowledge is through the click of a button. Education is rapidly evolving to produce students who are not only skilled enough to deal with these changes, but are also more innovative and creative in coming up with solutions to our current challenges.
Future Nation Schools’ aim is to spearhead the African education revolution by providing a model that is both futuristic, technology enabled and epitomises excellence in Africa!
The strategic intent of Future Nation Schools is to produce future African leaders who are passionate, excel in what they do, are ready for the 21st century and are confident in themselves.
The vision is to build a network of affordable private schools across
South Africa, and the rest of Africa. The excellence of the education is characterised by: student-centered learning, high academic
standards, problem-solving skills, a focus on applied research and
development (including project-based teaching and learning), innovation,
leadership, entrepreneurship and African studies. Future Nation Schools targets a 100% university entrance qualification in every graduating class.
Future Nation Schools focus on the five Education Trends identified for 2018: e-learning, hands-on learning, social-emotional learning, new roles for teachers as guides and a special focus on early literacy.

It was a pleasure to meet with Mampho Langa (Head of Schools), Xolani Sithemjwa (Head Teacher Sciences) and Thokozani Mhlanga (Intermediate Phase Head) at Fleurhof Future Nation School. They are very proud of the project-based teaching method where the students are learning through their own inquiry.
