It was a joy to witness her blossom in an environment that truly embraced her individual journey. Grateful for a warm and nurturing start to her school years!

Passionate about education and leadership, we have been involved in schools for many years. At the core of what we love about education is the ability to champion others to lead. Great leaders don’t set out to lead, they set out to make a difference – and that is what we aspire to encourage in every child – the courage and capacity to influence their world for good and for God.


One of the most exciting ways for children to realise their potential and find courage to live it out, is through inquiry. An inquiry-based approach to teaching, holds the child at the centre of the learning process.
When planning the next thing, teachers ask themselves and their students – What’s next for you? Every child has the capacity to contribute to their learning as well as others’. Every child has the capacity to be exceptional. With this in mind, we work to design a play based, inquiry rich program that draws out the leader in your child.
