“Children are born with all the curiosity they will ever need. It will last a lifetime if they are fed upon a daily diet of ideas”
Charlotte Mason
OUR GOAL
Our goal, at Gracehill College, is to equip children with eternal values and truth in order to place in them a deep desire to do what is right, fair and kind.
We would like our children to βgrow in the grace and knowledge of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ.β β 2 Peter 3:18
Our School prides itself in small classes, with only 18 to 20 children per class. The staff focusses on the individual needs of each pupil, to provide a loving and nurturing environment that focusses on the child as a whole.
OUR VISION
- A school where the children from Pre-PrimaryΒ can move into, to further that which has been imparted into them from a young age
- A school that is built on the abounding grace of Jesus Christ
- A school that will foster honour and respect to all
- Children living by the motto: Living fully, Loving widely, Learning creatively
- A school with a family atmosphere, where children look out for one other and not only their own interestsβ¦
ACTIVITIES
Cultural Activities
Music Education
At Gracehill, we would like our learners to experience the gift of music and the benefits of this universal language.
School music programmes are especially relevant to the development of each and every child. These programmes promote self-expression, responsibility and creativity. They develop self-discipline and thinking skills such as problem solvingβ¦
EDUCATION
Curriculum
Our curriculum follows the framework of the Charlotte Mason educational philosophy, which is inherently rich and broad, likened by herΒ to anΒ βabundant feast for the mindβ. Β We place a strong emphasis on the foundations of literacy and numeracy, so place these first, but our curriculum also includes subject areas such as:
- Β English literacy which includes:
- phonics and readingβ¦.

Charlotte Mason believed that βthe formation of habits is education, and education is the formation of habits.β We, at Gracehill College, place great value on forming good habits as a solid foundation of life and education.
Linger Coffee Shop serves a variety of refreshing beverages, cakes, and sweet treats as well as wraps and light lunches. Our fantastic coffee shop is also open to the public. A great meeting place for friends as well as small business meetings.
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. We, at Gracehill College, believe that βevery good gift of knowledge and insight come from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.β James 1:17.
We trust in our Heavenly Father to nurture and equip our children, through a thoroughly researched curriculum and feast of ideas. We strive for an education that is far deeper than mere exams and tests β an education that impacts lives and echoes into eternity
