About Us
UJ Academy
The UJ Academy was established in 1992 in partnership with the University of Johannesburg for learners with the potential in Mathematics and Physical Sciences. In August 2019, the UJ Academy was formally launched as a School of Specialisation in Mathematics, Physical Science and ICT by the Gauteng Department of Education.
At the UJ Academy, we believe in upholding the values of Respect, Loyalty, Integrity, Commitment, and Perseverance which lies at the core of every staff member and learner.
Our Goals:
To provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments for all learners to reach their full potential.
To prepare learners for the world of work and the fourth industrial revolution.
To instil constitutional values in learners which will enable them to become positive citizens who contribute to the growth and development of our country.
Everyday at the UJ Academy is like a blessing with the active students and talented staff members around.
