HOME

We believe that there is a great need for holistic education of a world class standard in our area. Conditions in rural areas are generally poor and many teachers lack resources and infrastructure. An established independent school, which is properly staffed and managed, will go a long way to giving children in our area the necessary grounding to reach their maximum potential.

Established in 2007, Royal Drakensberg Primary School is a small independent school which caters for Grade 000 to Grade 5. The school aims to provide learners with a solid foundation for future learning and was established by local families to address a real need for quality education in the area. Our goal is to grow the school to 60 learners. The school is a beautiful microcosm of South African society, catering for a wide range of backgrounds and abilities.

Sponsor a child

Sponsor a child and help change their future...

Support one child - sponsor them through their primary school years.

It has been an incredible journey as we have watched the children blossom and flourish in this nurturing environment. Once children have spent their primary school years at Royal Drakensberg, we believe that they will have a solid foundation to attend excellent secondary schools in KwaZulu-Natal.

We would love to see more children from this area benefit, but as an independent school, we do need funds to realise this dream. In 2012, we hope to be in a position to assist 30 learners. Families are awarded financial assistance to a maximum of 80% of the fees and the balance is then payable by the parents.

For more details of children requiring sponsorship please contact megan.bedingham@cavern.co.za.
