The qualities of a good school
Kindness is a value that we encourage, so we have a zero-tolerance approach towards bullying. Learners are guided towards productive communication of their feelings within a safe environment - usually under supervision of a teacher.

The adventure of education encompasses more than the learning of facts. Cognitive (intellectual) development is the process of attaining the ability to think and reason. Therefore, teaching is not just the learning of facts , but rather training the mind how to think.

We offer Playball (Players is the version for older children where they play different sports such as soccer, hockey, baseball etc.), Baking, Robotics, Music Minds and Pottery.
In our experience, we have seen how children who join professional sports clubs excel in their sport. Joining a club appears to have just as much value - if not, more - as being a team member of a school sport.
Our worldview

Our worldview
Our worldview/philosophy includes:
- the tolerance of beliefs that are different from one's own
- a positive mindset and perspective
- the desire to investigate and learn
- every person has worth
We therefore teach within a Christian framework and so we value and welcome families from all walks of life.

Our worldview
We have found that our smaller classes tend to allow for learners to develop confidence in their abilities, and therefore improve academically. Each individual child knows that we have the time to listen to, and discuss, their ideas, concerns and questions. Many learners find it difficult to concentrate and achieve in a large-class enviro
We have found that our smaller classes tend to allow for learners to develop confidence in their abilities, and therefore improve academically. Each individual child knows that we have the time to listen to, and discuss, their ideas, concerns and questions. Many learners find it difficult to concentrate and achieve in a large-class environment, so they tend to become more outspoken and self-assured once they have spent time learning and being sociable in a smaller class.
The above comments are most certainly not to say that the larger schools are less concerned about their learners! Benoni has good government schools with excellent teachers. It's simply an acknowledgement that some children perform better, and therefore gain more confidence, in a smaller-school set-up :)
