The Royal Drakensberg School is situated in the Northern Drakensberg at the entrance to The Cavern. It is an independent school which caters for children from Grade 000 up to Grade 3.
We believe that there is a great need for holistic education of a world class standard in our area. Conditions in these rural areas are poor and the teachers lack resources and infrastructure. We feel that an established independent school, which is properly staffed and managed, will go a long way to giving children the necessary grounding to reach their maximum potential.
Hi Megan
Does your school cater for primery level only?
Hi Sanele
We are focusing on the pre-primary phase and the foundation phase only. Only to Grade 4 next year and the following year, only to Grade 3.
We believe this is where we can make the greatest impact on the success of the children.
“Access to quality education is one of the best ways to help people escape poverty. In fact, research has shown that quality early learning (in preschools, crèches and playgroups) is the biggest disrupter of the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Not only is early learning a crucial weapon in the fight against poverty, Nobel Prize winning economist, Professor James Heckman, argues that there is no greater investment a country can make than in children between the ages of zero and five as it yields the highest rate of return.” Dr Sebabatso Manoeli – DG Murray Trust – 2018

Hi there.
Are there any possible teaching positions available? Sounds like such a lovely school. 🙂
Hi, could you please tell me what curriculum you follow.
Hi Tammy
We follow the CAPS curriculum but we do our utmost to teach practically, particularly with our small children. Our classes are small and children are encouraged to participate so that they learn with greater understanding.
You are welcome to visit to see learning in action if you’d like!
