What Eduplex High School | Eduplex Hoërskool does

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring annual tuition fees, supplemented by subscription-style aftercare, catering, music-lesson, and audiology fees; distribution is direct-to-consumer via application, professional appraisal, principal interview, and campus tour, with word-of-mouth referrals as the primary demand driver. The school has no public listing, no disclosed external investors, and no recorded funding rounds; it is privately operated and was founded in 2002 with the Pre-School opened by Nelson Mandela, followed by Primary School in 2003, High School in 2011, ETI in 2014, and Audiology/Sport facilities in 2017. More than 50% of the 70 enrolled deaf learners depend on financial support, indicating a non-trivial subsidy and fundraising component to the revenue model.
