For over 29 years (Since 1986), East Rand Christian Academy (ERCA) has been serving students and their families in the Ekurhuleni Local Municipality area. Hundreds of students have enjoyed their school career at our school, learning to read, write, debate issues, partake in sporting activities and finally obtain their Grade 12, Christian Education Certificate, (CEC) graduation. Our students get educated at our school in a secure, caring, disciplined, ethical and Biblical foundational environment.
Our graduates of the past have been successful University graduates that have become skilled employees in the South African workforce. We are a government subsidised private school that uses the Accelerated Education Enterprises curriculum. This curriculum allows students to work at a self-determined (monitored) pace and hardworking students can do more than a specific Grade in one year.
The AEE curriculum is based on a lot of self-study and self-assessment. Study guides are called PACE’s (Packets of Accelerated Education Enterprises) and it forms the basis of this curriculum. The Educator (Supervisor) gives personal and one-on-one training to students when needed and also marks the final PACE test.
The pass mark for the final PACE test is 80% and should a student fail to attain this mark, the whole PACE is repeated. Our students learn to work hard and are taught from young to do a lot of self-study and to be self-disciplined. The educators and their assistants, monitor the students’ progress on a daily basis and assist where required.
