About Christel House

Christel House South Africa provides (no-fee) quality, CAPS-aligned education to students from Cape Town’s poorest neighbourhoods. Through character-based and career-focused education, Christel House supports learners for 19 years (Grade RR to Grade 12 and five years post-matric). Our children come from Cape Town's poorest communities, including Langa, Phumlani, Manenberg and Strandfontein, each living on less than R1,500 monthly.

Christel House enables learning by including poverty mitigation support through free daily transport to school and back, professional health care, nutritious meals (including breakfast, lunch, and snacks), psychosocial support, counselling, family assistance, and college and career support. Christel House is a trauma-informed school, meaning that through practice and approach, curriculum delivery and social services support are grounded in understanding trauma and its consequences to promote healing and resilience. 

The model includes rigorous and holistic academics, focusing on entrenching higher order thinking and integrating ICT into the curriculum to create fully-realised and well-rounded individuals ready for the future World of Work. Our enriched offering includes exposure to music, sports, coding, robotics, and a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics).

Throughout their schooling, learners are supported through various projects and programmes, including career guidance and exposure, vocational preparation and character development. Post-matric alumni are supported for five years through tertiary education, job placements, graduate mentoring, career workshops and financial support.
