More Than A Teacher is a school-based teacher internship. We select aspiring educators from local communities, support them to access distance learning tertiary education, provide them with mentors, monitor and support academic progress and facilitate personal, professional and spiritual development.

What sets the More Than A Teacher Training Academy approach apart from other pre-service teacher training programmes is our holistic, integrated and person-centered approach. Below is a list of unique offerings the More Than A Teacher Training Academy approach provides:

Intentional focus on personal, social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive development of pre-service teachers. Using the Bible as the text for student formation (also called discipleship).
Facilitates partnerships between the public and private sectors.
Together, strengthen each other’s schools through their joint focus on the development of future graduates.
Gradually developing a network for exchange–student teachers from schools, exposed to public and private contexts. Fostering a culture of diversity and tolerance of differences.
Providing volunteer opportunities in townships, rural communities and informal settlements. Reinforcing the culture of young people providing solutions for South Africans; educational obstacles.
Utilize the wealth of knowledge from experienced educators, retired principals, independent education consultants and field experts to shape learning processes.
