Grade R

Research shows that children who receive a good pre-school education adjust more easily to school and achieve better results. Our Grade R curriculum ensures that our little ones are well prepared for their formal schooling.

Grades 1-7

While English is the medium of instruction, Zulu and Sotho are taught in parallel classes from grade 1 onwards. In the Foundation Phase great emphasis is placed on reading as reading with comprehension underpins all other learning.

Catholic Ethos

Our Catholic Ethos is the foundation of our school. Religious education is an integral part of our curriculum and is taught in all grades. As a school we pray together and attend Mass together at the Parish Church of Christ the King.

Extra murals

Children benefit enormously from extra-mural activities as they acquire different skills and learn to work as a team. Our school offers:

Athletics 
Soccer 
Netball 

Chess
Music
Scouts

About Our School

St John Berchman's School was opened in 1938.

Our school is named after St John Berchman, known as ‘the Laughing Saint’, because of his constant smile. He made kindness and courtesy an important part of his life. These virtues are still practised in our school, which we try to make a true happy family where God is central and where the dignity and voice of each child is respected and heard. The school welcomes all families who seek a holistic education that includes the fostering of faith and gospel values.
