Elkanah House, situated in Blouberg, Cape Town, is a co-educational, independent school that was founded in 1997. It is privately owned and is a member of the Independent Schools’ Association of South Africa (ISASA). It has an enviable reputation for being a relaxed and happy educational environment, where the buildings warmly welcome you and the members of staff are caring, passionate and competent.
Elkanah (which means “God’s creation”) is committed to growing young men and women who have an unassuming self-confidence and the ability to use their creative gifts appropriately. Our motto “Carpe Diem” – meaning “Seize the Day” - reflects our commitment to encourage our students to make best use of their opportunities.
The 1300 students are accommodated on four campuses – two preparatory, one senior primary and a high school, each one separate but in close proximity to the others. This allows us the advantages of small schools – where attention can be given to making the environment homely and relaxed - while permitting personal involvement in the progress of each child and the opportunity to instill and nurture a love of learning. Most importantly, this is a school where Christian family values are followed and upheld.
While we acknowledge the importance of examinations in enabling our students to take the next step in their education, we also understand that a sound education is about so much more than results. Our objective is to enable our young people to become skilled and interested pupils who can take their place anywhere in the world with confidence and who understand that living significantly is about making a difference in the lives of others.
