From the Principal
We encourage a questioning mind rather than an accepting one.
We inspire our students to work hard and to learn from that work. Our job is to give every child an environment that brings out the best of what they are capable of: in the classroom, on the stage and on the field.
Read about our schoolThree schools, one campus
From first crayons to Class X
Children move through three stages without changing schools, so the teachers who taught them to read are still down the corridor when they sit their board exams.
Middle School
Class I – V
Ages 5 to 10
Small classes, specialist teachers, and house points for effort as much as results.
Middle School
Upper School
Class VI – X
Ages 10 to 15
A strong academic programme, close monitoring and leadership opportunities through to Matric.
Upper SchoolHow we teach
Learning, the PCIS way
Six ideas run through every classroom, from Playgroup to Class X.
- Inquiry
Questions first
Children are naturally curious, so our curriculum is built around asking, testing and finding out, not just memorising.
- Every child
Many kinds of clever
Teaching follows Gardner’s multiple intelligences: creative, differentiated lessons so each child can show what they are good at.
- ICT
Computers in every subject
Technology is woven into daily lessons, so it’s a tool children use naturally, not a once-a-week lab period.
- Specialists
The right teacher for each subject
Specialist teachers lead physical education and Islamic education, and subject specialists teach the Middle and Upper School.
- Care
Small classes, known by name
Every class tutor is responsible for the wellbeing of their pupils, and small groups mean no child gets lost.
- Recognition
Effort is celebrated
Certificates and house points reward hard work and good behaviour as much as top marks.

Is there an entry test?
Yes. Every new student sits our admission assessment and/or an interview, based on general knowledge of the subjects at the level of the class they are applying for. It helps us place your child in the right class and see where they may need support.
How do fees work?
There is a one-time registration and admission fee (non-refundable), a security deposit that is refunded when your child leaves, an annual fee paid before admission, and monthly tuition paid in advance. New admissions pay two months' tuition in advance. Call the office for the current amounts.
