What Does "Labor Omnia Vincit" Mean?

Who Is The School Principal?

Ms Derrett Director – Excelsior Academic College After completing a Bachelors in Science, followed by both an Honours and Masters in Physics, I completed my PGCE. I have taught at various schools and universities around Gauteng which led to my desire to create a place where each and every student is given a chance to achieve a world-class education at a school offering an internationally recognised education system. It was with this in mind that I established the College. I strive to see every student unlock their full potential by creating an open and supportive atmosphere which encourages our students to develop on both academic and personal levels. The combination of our extremely passionate staff, small classes, and a safe environment helps every student realise their full potential. I encourage and help each student based on their specific learning style and will always make them feel like they can reach their goals. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
