South African education giant buys 90-year-old private school

• Advtech has acquired the historic St George’s School property in Gqeberha to establish The Bridge School’s first Eastern Cape campus.
• St George’s School was founded in 1936 by Raymond Hutchinson as a private preparatory school for boys, and it became a co-educational school in 1987, and added a pre-preparatory phase in 2000.
• The acquisition is part of Advtech’s expansion plans, which include enhancing the site’s facilities and recruiting teachers with expertise in neurodivergent learning.
