Success
The LEAP model works. LEAP has an average of 93% Grade 12 pass rate with more than 70% of graduates pursuing tertiary studies. It seems that the combination of personal empowerment and academic success is the key that unlocks real change.
These are impressive statistics for any school but when you compare the achievements of LEAP graduates to national averages and the averages of the communities LEAP serves, they are outstanding.
LEAP has great expectations for the youth of South Africa and in young people’s potential to look towards the horizon and make something of their lives.
