We follow the National Curriculum and standards and strive to ensure quality education. We want to produce young people who are equipped to live God’s calling

The vision of our school, Destinatus is “Destined for Greatness.” Where did this vision come from and how did we decide it?

It began during a holiday in the Kruger National Park. One morning I awoke with the words: Destined for Greatness. I just lay in my bed and prayed about this idea and God spoke to me about the private Christian school we wanted to start.

As I talked to God, the Lord told me the school should be a place where each child can discover that there is a landing target for his life. God formed him and he is someone significant. He is a vital part of God’s plan for this world and the school must help the child to know who he is in Christ and God’s creation.

Benjamin Zander wrote a book “Opportunity Thinking”. In this book, they asked one of the most famous conductors, in the world, how he managed to motivate people to become brilliant musicians? He replied: When the student sits before me for his first interview I give him an A symbol and I say to him: “I give you an A and want you to discover why you are an A “.

It’s amazing what potential you unlock if you award a person with an A award.

At Destinatus we treat each child as if he already is an “A child”. Our role is to remove the obstacles that might prevent him achieving his goals.
