Welcome To Eden School

Eden Christian School was established, by Mrs. Antoinette Strapp in January 1997.

In January 2002, Gerrie and Mignon van der Merwe took over from Antoinette Strapp as owners and managing body of Eden Christian School. In April 2002 the school relocated to its current location and successfully registered the relocation and change of ownership with the Department of Education, to Smallholding 111, Noodhulp, 7km from Bela-Bela on the Thabazimbi road.

At the end or 2006 our first gr. 8 learner successfully completed the gr. 12 end examination with university exemption.
She succesfully continued her higher education at the University of Potchefstroom.

From gr.10 - gr.12, we use the Delta\ Impact education system which is approved by Umalusi and learners write the normal government gr.12 examination, with the option of an international examination. They offer adventure camps, winter academic school, Leadership camps, Matric's farewell and sound administrative support process.

Pre-School

We are using THE MONTESSORI "METHOD" of bringing up and educating children. It is being fully practiced and implimented in our pre-school.

The Montessori classroom uses concrete materials that are self-correcting and allow the children to learn at their own pace. These materials help the child to see, touch, feel, and freely explore their environments without the teacher's intervention. The Montessori teacher provides individual instruction within set guidelines. The children learn self respect, respect for others, and respect for their environment. Montessori methods and materials promote an inner discipline and self-motivation.

Eden School is registered with the department of education (EMIS nr.910133089) as well as Umalusi provincial accreditation (SCH001625PA)
