Somerset House School Information

We are firmly committed to recognising and developing each child's individuality and potential. We embrace change as a challenge and an opportunity, whilst respecting tradition. We choose to provide a unique small school environment for a stimulating and demanding academic programme, emphasising child-centred education, deep-thinking and the development of life-long learning habits. We are a caring, Christian based environment, where self-esteem is nurtured, initiative is encouraged and children are able to develop self-discipline while maintaining an awareness and concern for others. We understand the valuable role that the arts, sport, extra-mural activities and leadership play in the development of rounded children. We are committed to the development and retention of top quality staff and to remaining up to date with appropriate educational and technological progress. We will allocate financial resources responsibly to ensure the delivery of world-class educational standards. We are committed to playing our part towards building a better South Africa.
