Vision
To join hands with Christian parents to lay a Christian Biblical worldview foundation influencing their spiritual, social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional development.
To create an environment at school, which is God-centred, disciplined, supportive of parental authority and which builds Godly character.
To ensure that Pre-Schoolers are able to make a smooth transition to formal education in Grade 1.
To us experiential learning as the platform to develop the skills needed for formal education.
