EARLY LEARNING & PREPARATORY SCHOOL

Meals are provided for our Stage 1 and 2 children. Parents pack a nourishing meal and given water to drink. We encourage the use of water bottles to ensure that children remain hydrated throughout the day.

Our aftercare, Adventure Zone, runs from straight after the little one’s school day, until 17:30 every afternoon. There is an extra cost for Adventure Zone.
- The children are fed a hot meal daily, including fruit at about 15:30.
- Homework is done with Grade 1 to Grade 7 children.
- This runs through every holiday, with a break over December.
- Special holiday activities are planned during school holidays to make them exciting for children who are not going away.
- Children who do not usually attend aftercare may also join these activities. [There is a cost for these activities.]
03 DO YOU HAVE A RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION?
We focus on the foundational cornerstones of life. This includes basic fundamental values and encourages kindness, patience, respect and compassion.
We do this by offering three different approaches:
- Biblical studies in which the Bible stories are used to impart these values
- Jewish Studies in which focus is placed on Jewish traditions.
- Moral Studies, which is offered for all other religions who prefer that we don’t interfere with their teaching at home.
Each parent chooses the approach that they would like us to use. As part of this our motto is “We shall give back” - We undertake outreach projects throughout the year.
