UPDATE:

Back in March we received Christel House South Africa's results for the Matric Exams - South Africa's government administered exam that qualifies students for university studies. We were quite pleased with the result - a 97% passing rate, compared to 60.7% nationally - proving once again that Christel House works.

One student struggled with a particular portion of the test. Her teachers share that instead of feeling defeated and frustrated, she took it upon herself to refocus her efforts, continue studying and recently retook the exam.

We're proud to announce that Christel House South Africa now has a 100% passing rate for the 2010 Matric exams! Congratulations to all our graduates - we're excited to see where life takes you!

Today at 3:30 PM Christel House will hold the official ground-breaking ceremony for the new Christel House Academy-Watanabe High School, the newest charter high school in Indiana.



In 2002, based on the results of ISTEP tests administered three weeks after school opened, Christel House Academy ranked as the worst-performing school in Indiana, clearly demonstrating how far behind these students were. Today, the Academy's ISTEP scores have increased to where 74.25% recently passed both parts of the test compared to the Indiana state average of 71.4% and the IPS average of 49.9%. Learn more.

The school will eventually serve 240 students in grades 9-12 and seek a 90% graduation rate.
