Simon van der Stel Primary School

Founded in 1928, Simon van der Stel Primary School is a small, unique and culture-rich school nestled on the scenic slopes of Table Mountain.

Our motto, “Where Every Child Matters,” is at the heart of everything we do. We live this proudly through our commitment to the four pillars that define who we are:
Academics – Culture – Sport – Values

In 2020, we made history by welcoming our first English Grade 1 learners. It has been a privilege to see our school community grow in diversity, unity and pride, as we continue to embrace and celebrate every child’s individuality.

Vision and Mission

Vision – Where every child matters.

Mission – To educate and nurture each child holistically by maintaining a balance between curricular and co-curricular activities — academics, sport and culture — with a strong emphasis on Christian values and personal growth.
