Vuleka St Josephs Pre-School is located in Sophiatown. Vuleka is a school initiated in 1989 by Parishes within the Diocese of Johannesburg of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa in response to the growing crisis in education and the inability of parents to obtain adequate education for their children.

The name Vuleka means to “enlighten” or to “open up”, so children at Vuleka are given the skills they need to reach their full potential. Vuleka is a Diocesan School of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. We are also a member of the Anglican Schools Association. Pupils at Vuleka School must attend all assemblies and church services, wherever they may be held.

Pupils will not be compelled to take part in practices inappropriate to their own beliefs, but they are expected to attend all school events and behave in a respectful and reverent manner. Vuleka classes are moderately sized (24 – 28 pupils), and children receive individual attention. Vuleka provides an intensive remediation programme in English and Maths, and also assists children who are over the age cohort for their grade, as well as those with learning difficulties.
