Advtech buys St George’s School to launch Eastern Cape campus for neurodivergent learners

Advtech, owner of private school brands including Crawford International, Trinityhouse and Pinnacle, has acquired the St George’s School property in Gqeberha in order to establish the first Eastern Cape campus of The Bridge School for neurodivergent learners.

The Bridge School provides specialised academic, emotional or social support, offering smaller classes and individualised support. It is the listed education provider’s third Bridge school.

The campus will open officially in January 2028.

Situated in the St George’s Park area, the new campus will have capacity for 450 learners.

“This acquisition responds to growing demand for specialised schooling and flows from our commitment to provide education of the highest quality for every student,” says Advtech group CEO Geoff Whyte.

Starting in 2027, Advtech will enhance the site’s existing academic, cultural and sporting facilities, adding specialist learning and therapy spaces.

Teachers with expertise in neurodivergent learning will also be recruited or relocated to staff the school.
