School Reviews

3   10/13/2021
This is my 2nd student out of 3 to attend UCT. UCT provides a structured environment with a no-nonsense approach to education. Communication seems to far exceed that which we received from local public schools. Technical shops are dynamic and reflect the vocation needs of the community.
