WELCOME
TO E-ACT CITY HEIGHTS ACADEMY
Our students are always encouraged to strive to be the best they can be. We believe in delivering excellence in teaching and providing our students with opportunities to reach their full potential.
At E-ACT City Heights Academy, we partner with organisations for our students to experience what opportunities are available to them after their education and open their minds to new possibilities that they did not think of before.
I would be delighted to personally show you around the academy for you to see it for yourself. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally to arrange a visit.
Mr Marvin Charles Headteacher
