The Foundation was established in 2006 as St David's Marist Inanda's philanthropic and fundraising trust. The Foundation's main programmes aim to exponentially increase access to a quality St David's education both on the main St David's Marist Inanda campus through full bursaries for underprivileged boys (including boarding, uniforms and educational supplies), and on the St David's Marist Alexandra campus (established 2023), for young high school scholars primarily from and in Alexandra, to assist them and their families to break the cycle of poverty, unemployment, and poor education opportunities. The Foundation's mission is to ensure that an absence of means is no obstacle to a talented financially underprivileged boy receiving a quality St David's Marist Inanda education, and to exponentially increase access to a quality St David's education through the St David's Marist Inanda Alexandra satellite campus. The Foundation's aim is to contribute to fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goal 4 - of access to Quality Education. St David's is a specialist in boys' education and this is vital given growing evidence of a boy crisis in education. A March 2024 Financial Mail report, Lost Boys - inside South Africa's new education crisis, highlights that girls are pulling ahead of boys in all subjects and grades. In 2023, 72 765 more girls than boys passed the National Senior Certificate. The report warns South Africa must urgently address this looming crisis. St David's Marist Inanda Alexandra directly responds by supporting boys in one of South Africa's most disadvantaged communities, ensuring they are not left behind.

The current enrolment is 810 children, of whom 70 are deaf. As the school receives no government funding, 40 of these deaf learners are supported entirely by private donors. The Eduplex Model: How deaf children learn to talk and thrive: A common question is, "How is it possible for deaf children to talk?" Our success is built on a rigorous, proven methodology that empowers deaf children to learn and communicate through spoken language. This is achieved through a dedicated process that includes: Early Identification of hearing loss. Fitting of Appropriate Amplification (advanced digital hearing aids or cochlear implants). Intensive Parent Guidance & Professional Support to create a language-rich environment. Maximum Use of Technology to ensure optimal auditory access. Full Inclusive Education in a mainstream setting, providing nothing but normal, natural language exposure alongside their hearing peers.

ETI translates over two decades of practical, in-classroom experience into comprehensive professional development for educators, therapists, and school leaders. We offer a suite of SACE-accredited online and on-site courses, practical workshops, and whole-school training programs. Our training is not theoretical; it is built on the lived success of the Eduplex school, providing educators with immediately applicable strategies for creating inclusive, effective, and faith-based learning environments. By equipping education professionals, ETI acts as a powerful multiplier effect, ensuring that thousands more children-with and without disabilities-can benefit from the Eduplex methodology. Eduplex stands as a living testament to the transformative power of faith, innovation, and compassion. Born from a God-given vision, it has grown into a global model for Christian-inclusive education-systematically turning the tragedy of hearing loss into a triumph of opportunity, dignity, and hope.
