Trinityhouse

What Trinityhouse does

Trinityhouse Schools is a Gauteng-based network of private Christian schools operating four campuses — Randpark Ridge (founding, 1997), Little Falls (opened 2012), Centurion (opened 2014) and Glenvista (opened 2020) — serving over 6,000 students from Pre-Primary (Grade 0000) through Grade 12. The academic programme culminates in the IEB National Senior Certificate, with the Centurion High School maintaining a 100% pass rate since inception and the network consistently ranked among South Africa's top-performing IEB schools. Curriculum delivery is supported by the ADvLEARN adaptive learning platform (Mathematics Grade 7-12, Mathematical Literacy and Physical Science Grade 10-12), MAP Growth (NWEA) assessment, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Insights for real-time engagement analytics, with individualised learning plans positioned as an AI-powered differentiator alongside compulsory sport, arts and outreach programmes.

The business model is tuition-driven: recurring monthly or annual school fees form the core revenue stream, varying by campus and grade (e.g., Glenvista Pre-Primary all-inclusive fees of R5,150 per month for Grade 0000 rising to R6,790 for Grade 0), supplemented by extramural revenue streams including individual music lessons (R2,211–R4,422 per term), orchestra and music-theory programmes, sports and culture activities, and non-refundable application fees. Trinityhouse operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market, prospecting families via Open Days, virtual tours, website enquiries, social media and word-of-mouth, with applications processed through the STASY online portal.

The group is wholly owned by ADvTECH, a diversified South African education conglomerate that provides strategic direction and shared academic infrastructure; Glenwood House is referenced as a sister school within the network. Leadership is led by Managing Director Merice Roopram, with phase-specific Principals at every campus. Effective 1 January 2027, Pretoria East's Tyger Valley College will be rebranded as Trinityhouse Tyger Valley, extending the network to five campuses following an acquisition / rebrand pattern rather than greenfield build.
