• We are a primary school and consist of a foundation phase (Gr RR to Gr 3) and an intermediate phase (Gr 4 to Gr 7). We have three classes per grade. Gr R consists of about 20 pupils per class and from Gr RR to Gr 7 we range from 15 – 25 per class.
• We belong to ISASA (Independent School Association of South Africa) as well as ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). We have received our International Accreditation through ACSI
• We follow the CAPS curriculum and find that when children go on to high school (IEB, Cambridge as well as State schools) they slot in easily with other curriculums.
• We have a fully equipped media centre, computer centre, robotics centre and have introduced Google Chrome Books for class work and research into some of our lessons.
