Head of Eden College
Chris Marcellin heads up Eden College Durban.
Christopher Marcellin caught the teaching bug in France in 1994 when he did a short stint of English teaching as a favour to his stepmother. On his return to SA he completed his BA and then read for his HDE in English, History, Speech and Drama and French.
His first position was as a teacher of History, Drama and French at Epworth School in PMB. He left Epworth in 2002 to do a CELTA course at International House in Durban. On completion of this course he was approached by Crawford to teach History and Drama. Chris was appointed Acting Deputy Principal in 2005.
Fervently passionate about teaching teenagers, he strongly believes in a holistic approach to education and is excited about Eden and the potential of the College
