Who We Are

Home Grown.
World Class.

Khaya means home in isiNdebele. Before a child can learn, they must feel at home. Before they can grow, they must feel safe. That is what we build — every single day.

We are a registered private early childhood and primary school serving children from six months to twelve years. Rooted in the Montessori method and the African Ubuntu tradition, we prepare children to engage the world with confidence, curiosity and character.

Our Values

What We Stand For

✝️

Faith

Our practice is anchored in Christian principles that shape our culture, our character and our community. Prayer and spiritual formation are woven into every day.

🌍

Ubuntu

"Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu." A person is a person through other persons. We raise children who know they belong and carry responsibility for one another.

⭐

Excellence

We pursue the highest standards in teaching, learning and care — not through competition and grades, but through the deep satisfaction of mastering something real.

🔍

Integrity

Honesty and transparency in all our relationships — with children, families and the wider community. What we say is what we do.

🤝

Collaboration

We believe in the power of teamwork — among staff, families and partners — to create the best outcomes for every child in our care.

🌱

Child-Centredness

Every decision places the child's dignity, safety and flourishing at the centre. We follow the child — always, in everything.
