Holistic Education
UICT-KZN has established 20+ centres operating across KwaZulu-Natal. These schools range from pre-schools through to primary schools, high schools and boarding centres.
Our holistic educational facilities are focussed on providing both secular and religious training. We aim to uplift the learners morally, intellectually, spiritually as well as culturally, providing a sense of direction and stability, raising a sustainable generation of Almighty-conscious individuals capable of dealing with the many challenges of modern-day life.
