Letter from the Principal

Choosing a school for your child can be a daunting task. Most parents want a safe environment where their children can get a quality education without compromising on values. Schools with those characteristics are not easy to find. That's why Sunward Christian Academy was established in 2000.

26 years later we are very proud to be deemed as one of the most affordable private IEB schools in South Africa. We are passionate about our small classroom environments where each child receives the individual care necessary from our fully qualified SACE registered teachers. Each member of the SCA team believes that they were called to education.

However, the largest factor in the success SCA has had in developing young minds is our Christian Values. We deem our Faith as the foundation of everything we do at SCA. We focus on instilling those values into every learner that passes through SCA.

We pray that your child finds the school he/she is meant to be in and we would be honoured for SCA to be among the schools you consider.

Blessings,Leon vd WesthuizenPrincipal, Sunward Christian Academy
