TESTIMONIALS

What our parents have to say about Hermannsburg

We have loved the individual attention that each child receives due to the small size of the school. Plus the lovely farm, community feel and the wonderfully manicured grounds.

Cheryl Blackburn, child in Grade 12

At Hermannsburg I know that it doesn’t matter if my children are straight-A students, or just ‘regular kids’ – they will still be nurtured and guided to be the best that they can be. With our school ranging all the way from Kindergarten to Matric, I have always loved seeing how the older children care for and help the little ones; but what I love most about Hermannsburg is the lack of snobbery and pretentiousness – it does not matter whether you’re part of the ‘haves’ or the have-nots’, you are treated the same. Those are the kinds of values I want instilled in my children by their school

Brigitte du Preez, child in Grade 6 and Grade 9

Recently arrived from Germany we have been welcomed very heartily here in Hermannsburg. We enjoy the familiar and professional atmosphere of the school and the holistic approach.

Daniela Peifer - Child in Grade 5, 9 and 11

I love the family feel at Hermannsburg. I love the fact that the little children in Grade 1 and the matriculants know one another! The children all feel at home and they are situated in the most beautiful surroundings. My new favourite facility at the school is the Penrose Golf Academy, which my little one is a part of. I’m so glad that she has this amazing opportunity!
