Mitchell House is an Independent co-educational English school catering for learners from Grade 000 to Grade 12. Established in 1994, affiliated to ISASA and fully accredited by UMALUSI, our school is situated on a high-lying, sixteen-hectare site, providing spectacular views of the North, in the city of Polokwane. We educate for life. Our faith in God inspires us to be people of hope and intention, who are united by a set of values that shape our vision and practice of education.
Committed to an inclusive education of mind, body, and spirit, we help young people to become happy, confident, independent, competent, and resilient people of hope and personal integrity, who have a deep sense of justice and compassion, and feel a sense of social responsibility to transform the world around them. Mitchell House recognises the multi-faith aspect of our school community: and we encourage all learners to respect the faiths of others.
Squirrels' Nest aims to provide a safe, happy and stimulating environment for every child in Grade 000(RRR) to Grade 0(R). We celebrate uniqueness, encourage curiosity and assist every child in fulfilling their potential. For every child to achieve this we follow the IEB Foundation Phase curriculum: 'Learning through play' to develop children's social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
The philosophy of Squirrels' Nest is based on the Reggio Emilia approach to education. Reggio Emilia is rooted in the belief that children, no matter their age, are natural learners. When given the proper supportive environment that encourages pursuit of their own interests, they will develop a love of learning that extends into adulthood. Squirrels' Nest Pre-School has a caring ethos that values every child and their individuality and provides a firm educational foundation for children to build upon throughout their childhood.
