Our History

Paradigm Education Centre was founded in 2009 by Mrs Sushie Pillay with just five learners and only one other staff member. The heart and vision for the school were to provide international standard Christian education to a community who may not have had the means to experience. Funded and supported by Paradigm Group run by Mr Steven Pillay, Paradigm Education Centre grew, from humble beginnings to a flourishing educational institution. In 2021, Ms Lauren Anderson joined the school as Principal and in 2025 the first class of grade 12 learners graduated.

At Paradigm Education Centre we make use of internationally accredited curriculum, SwitchedOn Education.

SwitchedOn Education is accredited by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission, a globally recognized mark of quality and excellence in education. This accreditation confirms that SwitchedOn meets rigorous international standards focused on effective leadership, equitable resources, and engaging learning environments where students can flourish.

To earn and maintain Cognia accreditation, schools undergo thorough internal and external evaluations and commit to continuous improvement. Accreditation is awarded for a six-year term to institutions that meet Cognia’s high performance standards.

 

Cognia is a respected global, nonprofit organization serving over 40,000 institutions in more than 90 countries, ensuring quality education and ongoing improvement worldwide.

Through SwitchedOn Education, we are committed to providing our students with education that meets internationally recognized standards of excellence.

At Paradigm Education Centre, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing environment where students can thrive and achieve their full potential.

As an independent Christian school, we believe in offering equal opportunities to all students, regardless of their background or abilities.

Our small, family-like setting helps pupils to achieve their very best where every individual has the opportunity to strive for standout achievement. We believe that every student has unique talents and skills, and we work tirelessly to help them uncover and develop these qualities.

Our annual year-end results highlight not only academic success but also the breadth of growth our young people have experienced. These results are a testament to the hard work of our students, the dedication of our staff and the unfailing support of families.
