We believe in growing the whole student and strive to provide a happy and healthy environment that nurtures and benefits everyone.
We are a family school at the sea and are fortunate to have a team of dedicated parents, past pupils, teachers and community leaders at our side.
Behind every good student is a good school. And behind every good school, is a great community.
A word from our Principal

Age 2 – Grade 12. Eastern Cape, South Africa. We’re a family centered school and this ethos allows for the investment of personal attention in its valued pupils to further their growth and provide an all-round education of an excellent standard.
Foundation
Ages 2 - Grade 3
Children learn the “fun”-damentals of reading, writing and numeracy as well as key life skills and developing their thinking skills.
Intermediate
Grade 4 - Grade 7
These are key developmental years in any child’s life and every effort is made to make school as interesting and as enriching as possible.
Seniors
