ABOUT US
About Us
At Elkanah House we strive to Live Authentic Lives; to Love Beyond Self; and to Learn Beyond Examinations!
OUR HISTORY
Since 1996 Elkanah House has provided the highest quality education, honouring the diversity of each individual from Grade 000 through to Grade 12.
We inspire creative, confident thinkers who have an enduring passion for learning, through our progressive hands-on, dynamic curriculum and the IEB assessment methodology. Through solid Christian values, our EQ programme & unique individual pastoral care, we are designed to address your child’s specific learning & developmental needs every step of the way.
Elkanah House, which means “God’s Creation”, upholds Christian family values and is committed to growing young men and women who have an unassuming self-confidence and the ability to use their unique gifts to build successful and responsible lives. Our co-educational environment offers a progressive, whole-child schooling that enables students to be who they are while optimally developing their creativity, 21st century skills, academic excellence and unique talents. This philosophy is ingrained in our school motto, Carpe Diem, which is the Latin term meaning Seize the Day.
OUR ETHOS
Elkanah House nurtures and empowers pupil individuality, laying foundations for them to develop into well-rounded individuals who take their place confidently in the world.
We embrace an inclusive Christian ethos, a whole-child approach to education, intentional staff/pupil relationship building, support and mentorship programmes, community-based projects and the application of the Independent Examination Board (IEB)
assessment methodology.
We offer rich sporting, cultural, enrichment and leadership opportunities to celebrate our students’ unique talents. At Elkanah House, we believe that children should be who they are!
At Elkanah House, we centre everything we do around the 3Ls, namely:
Learning beyond examinations, Loving beyond self
and
Living authentic lives.
These values are at the centre of our whole-child approach to education.
