About Us
At Elkanah House we strive to
LIVE Authentic Lives; to
LOVE Beyond Self; and to
LEARN Beyond Examinations!
OUR STORY
Founded in 1997, Elkanah House is a co-educational independent school located in the beautiful beachside suburb of Blouberg, Cape Town. Our school boasts three picturesque campuses, each with a unique architectural design overlooking Table Mountain, which is conducive to allowing children to learn optimally in a homely environment.
We are proud members of the Independents Schools Association of South Africa (ISASA) and follow the IEB (Independent Examinations Board) curriculum to ensure academic excellence.
Our name, Elkanah, means "God's Creation," and we uphold Christian family values that foster confident, compassionate, and creative young men and women. Over the years, Elkanah House has built an outstanding reputation for providing a happy, engaging and enriching educational experience. This is largely due to our extraordinary tam of passionate and caring educators who create a space where learning is meaningful and joyful.
We are home to over 1 300 students across three campuses :
- Sunningdale Campus (Grade 000 - Grade 6)
- Blouberg Campus (Grade 000 - Grade 3)
- High School campus (Grade 7 - Grade 12)
Each campus operates independently while remaining closely connected, fostering a
strong sense of community and continuity throughout a child's schooling journey. This unique structure allows us to offer the personal attention of a small school while enjoying the extensive facilities of a larger institution
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
At Elkanah House we strive to create a relaxed, homely, diverse and challenging learning environment, follow the teachings of Christ, empower students to develop to their full potential so that they may leave as innovative, community sensitive, healthy and spiritually active young adults.
THE ELKANAH WAY
We believe that a sound education includes so much more than results. Our objective is to empower our students to become skilled and interested individuals who can take their place anywhere in the world with confidence: young men and women who understand that living significantly is about making a difference in the world and in the lives of others.
As our students progress on their educational journey from the protective and nurturing ambience of our Preparatory and Senior Preparatory campuses to the more adventurous and independent tasks of the High School, we encourage parents to work with us to help students face challenges and seize opportunities every step of the way.
